New doll keyrings - more news




























So, ive finally made two new keyrings that were supposed to be sent in for the festival(i had arranged for my dolls to be sold in that festival after all, only that i wouldnt be the one selling them there. A girl who would go to athens at those days, would take my dolls there and leave them in the festival.) Either way that wont happen after all. Thus, im just making the dolls for two custom orders ive got. The doll pendants that i wanted to make for the festival are going to be made anyway since ive already got the materials.
Here are the first two little heads(which im afraid turned out too small in contradiction to the big last one ive made). I havent find names for them yet but ill try finding before i put them up for sale..

fuck fuck fuck fuck F U C K and yes I LOVE TO SAY FUCK.

im really really pissed, upset, angry, depressed and i really dont know what the fuck else i am.
The festival thing? yeah it wont happen really.

I got in a fight with my mother and she didnt let me go after all because as she said. she doesnt want her daughter to sell dolls in a festival. you know what? FUCK HER.
FUCK FUCK FUCK HER.

I would be a fucking hooker just to disgrace her name.

But yes im stupid enough to tell her that i will go to Athens to sell dolls in a festival. you know what? fuck me too.

im so glad that my bunny bit her when she walked out of my room. I love my bunny so much more right now.

I will probably send my dolls to Athens and ask that girl that organizes the festival to be sold somewhere along with the cds, t shirts and stuff. I dont know what will happen with the money after that of course. But I will certainly write down every single thing that i will send there, so that i know whats been sold and how much i gained. I dont think they will rob me or smthng but still.

I hope i can make at least that happen.

crash crash crash..... new yarns.








Today my new skeins of yarn arrived! I ordered them of course from my favorite etsy yarn shop(one more time^^). They arrived so soon that i was shocked lol. Like it took 3 days from Germany to Greece for my yarns to arrive! Thats something really good actually..
At last something good, since lately i havent been sleeping much, i have terrible headaches and im almost always cold. Ive got too many things to do and im afraid im going to crash in a bit. But either way, ill keep going and hopefully stay on my feet.
I dont have the support of diyscene anymore, since ive been "vanished" from the forum(thanks to the good old fellows of the diyscene). Im simply invisible to any other members of the forum and no one can see my threads, posts or even the personal msgs that i might send to a member. I am like.. invisible. You know some people cant accept honesty or being told the truth. They always want to hear "nice stuff", and as they told me if i cant post something nice i shouldnt post at all. So, yeah, im off there.
Unfortunately now I'll have to promote and ask the critique of etsy or other people on my own about my stuff. So, anyone who is reading this blog id love to hear his/her opinion.
I am thinking of making smaller dolls for the festival that I am going to be selling them, in december. Like, instead of making these big dolls that ive been making lately(like the one thats 35cm), i can make dolls half her size(like 15cm) and also head keyrings! I thought of that simply because im going to sell these in a festival, which means that people are going there to see bands playing, i really cant sell my big dolls there(although im gonna bring them with me), but i find it hard to believe that there will be people that will actually buy big dolls and carry them in the concert. Small dolls and keyrings are probably more possible to sell i believe.
What do you think?

The photos are from the yarns that I am going to use for this purpose.

WOOHOOOO!!!!





Soo, remember my spooked yarn? ive finally used it!
But lets take it from the start,
I found this giril on myspace, from my dolls profile, she is in a metal band and she plays the bass.
She's not though from my town she's from Athens(the biggest town in Greece, I live in the second bigger after Athens).



She told me that she really liked my dolls but couldn't afford bying one now, BUT she could buy a keyring, for her bass. Thus, she made a custom order to me, to make her a small dollie, to hang it from her bass and have her on in concerts and in general.
She also told me though(and here comes the good part, fellows). That she is the coordinator of an underground festival that will take place in Athens, several metal/rock bands will play there, and she asked me if i wanted to sell my dolls there. Well, OFCOURSE i said yes!
Im luck too cause my class is off on fridays and the festival is from 5th december until 7th. Thus, its from friday to Sunday, plus ive found a friend to come with me so that i wont be completely alone.
(I kinda dispise Athens and big cities in general). I cant start making more dolls until the 18th of november as ive already said, BUT ive ordered some beautiful skeins of yarn so that i can afford it, and make at least 3 more dolls and a few keyrings for the festival.
So, this is the first keyring ive made yesterday! Ive heard good things about it until now.. although im not completely sure about it lol. She hasnt got a name yet but ill surely find one.

She's got one stitched bleeding eye, one full bleeding eye, a tattoo in the left side of her face and she hides little ghosts in her hair!

New yarn! ready to get to work! ^^




So, today my perfect halloween yarn arrived! I went to take it from the post office in the morning and it has so many people that i had to be late at class! Well, only for a quarter but who cares! This yarn definitely worths it!
I bought it from my favorite etsy yarn shop, Weird and Twisted!
But i wont tell you more about this shop  cause their yarns are definetely all mine! If they are not yet, they soon will be, so back off!! *giggles*

Thus, im presenting to you my new yarn ! ^^ Spooked!(goes perfectly well with my shop name doesnt it? ;P )

Its made especially for Halloween and it has pretty little ghost beads on! ^^
I can't wait to use it for my dolls, i really cant!! ^^

Plus, ive already found another new halloween yarn thats been made in those girls' shop, and i absolutely adore it :(
I probably will buy it just to make sure that no one else will get it before me lol!
Although i really cant make any new dolls right now, ive got to take my biology exams in 17th and 18th of november. To RE take them actually.. so yeah.
For these few days I MUST NOT deal with any new dolls lol.
But as soon as my exams are over im definitely gonna start working on my new doll. Cant wait to get my hands on this beautiful yarn!
Perhaps ill use it also for a doll keyring, who knows!

Although doll keyrings are pretty sensitive im afraid, you cant put such a beautiful yarn on a doll keyring, since it can be worn out or get easily damaged. 
Im afraid i cant make any other kind of doll keyrings since i make them small but they still need to be treated very kindly.. so that they hair wont be destroyed. Thats the most important i suppose. I should just make small dollies not keyrings. As for the keyrings i should just put them the simple sock yarn that isnt so soft or anything but it cant be destroyed  as easily as the mohair for example and thats the good part.

My new creation - Candy

Here is the doll ive finished yesterday!My man saw it and he first told me that she looks like a franken-doll! well actually that was because when i couldnt think of anything about her face, how to paint it and stuff, ive found a little birdie that i had, like a plushie. So i cut off its "mouth" and sew it on my doll!
Thus, after that i thought that i had also a few finger puppets and i could use their mouths, hands etc to put on my dolls as well!!
When the doll was completely done, he told me that he looks like a porno-ducky ! lol!
Im not sure of what she looks like yet it could be all together! a stripper-dancer, just a funky girl, a hooker, a.. porno-ducky? lol! havent figure it out yet!
I named her though Candy! I think its perfect for her!
Her size is 35 cm, thus ive put her in my shop for sale for 50 euros!(65dollars!)

this is where you can find her: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16754628

and here she is:
