Thistle (a Doll Chateau Kid, tall MSD, 50cm) is standing in for 57.5cm LilyCat ...
(Her lovely face is a bit small, of course, since she wears 6-7" wig, and 7-8" wig)
Wearing a lovely momiji kanzashi (maple leaf hair pin)
Tsukihime wearing my handmade doll kimono.
I bought some undyed kimono fabric to dye myself! It's the first one I've made for my dolls. I love the pastel rainbow green.
This kimono has been sold.
She isn't a pro model,so she looks a bit scare when I try to take her photo.
You'll get use to it girl ^ ^
Lovely little Indigo is a cute tiny doll. Enkiri is a bigger cousin! (Or sibling??) Looking super cute.
Sweet red plum blossoms are some of my favorites.
She can sit seiza very well.
This is inspired by a traditional dance.
Did you know I adore plum blossoms? :) Well, I do. So I decided to make a maiko henshin set... or a "mini maiko" addition that can be worn by someone even without nihongami. (Tho it's easiest to wear with nihongami, I think...)
I hand dyed the silk, cut out hundreds of petals, and folded, folded, folded. Now I'm done! :) I just need to take another photo of the sagari (falls) ... it's hard to do outside of your studio.
This wild hat is a Fairy Tale Fibers creation. Made of 100% upcycled wool, that feels as soft as cotton. It's Funky and Fun to wear. However, it's also a practical hat for my Puddle Town (PDX) adventures since it keeps me dry in any drizzle or downpour.
You can find a similar hat or Hood on Etsy! Or at Portland Saturday Market! Check my profile for more details!
Handmade crane kanzash, a kind of Japanese fabric art. These are made out of the same silk that is used in making kimono. I used kimono fabric, which you can see in red and gold, and ivory habutae (the very light weight silk used in lining kimono; it is very expressive).
This kimono fabric is from a wedding kimono fabric...I only have a very small amount of this fabric, so this is a special design.
正月飾りで作った鶴です。このつるはいつものより二倍おおきくて作るのを工夫しました！ 綺麗にできたら嬉しいです。
Sweet red plum blossoms are some of my favorites.
The patterned kanzashi are made from kimono silk, and the red flowers are made of habutae silk; the thinnest silk for lining kimono.
Butterfly and nanohana for march kanzashi. The pink kanzashi is an original design.
Nanohana takes inspiration from maiko kanzashi calendar.
Uchikake are usually for weddings, so it is appropriate to have made it from a wedding kimono. The black kimono looks very elegant as well...
I love the plum blossoms, so I have the white one with dangling petals and the more traditional one on the other side.

Featuring my Studio Bitamin Enmusubi and Enkiri; dressed in silk kimono made by me, with hand folded hairpins (half of which are hand dyed, the other half are kimono silk.)
I made some 1/4 size silk kimono! These leave kanzashi that I've been working on for a few months go really well.
I want to try to finish before the season is long over next time, haha!
This year, I decided to create a diorama to participate in the OOAK Contest of the Portuguese Doll Convention 2018 - Circus and this was the result. 🎪️ It was also the first time that I made a reroot in a Barbie but I liked it. ^_^ Thanks very much Joana Costa for your magic hands to dress the ticket and cotton candy seller girl. <3 Congratulations to all who participated and showed so much creativity and wonderful works. It was an unforgettable experience! :)

Handmade kimono and kanzashi (silk hairpins and belt accessories) by me.
Handmade kimono set for a custom order.
The uchikake is made from a wedding kimono, so it is gorgeously detailed with hand-painted Yuzen kimono and gold fleck.
The resin hairpins are size 7 and size 12. (Size 10 would be perfect, if it existed...)
A little treat I´ve crafted to my friend bird lover Nath Yamauti , based on her flickr picture: www.flickr.com/photos/ny2/3672590543/
These are actually more than a hundred squares folded one at a time to make petals, and then arranged into wisteria shapes. 💜
Made for 1/4th size dolls.
A closeup of Briar in burnt-orange-red kimono.
You can see she's wearing a full nagajyuban.

I made this black kimono and light blue haori set for a kind customer. Some machine sewing, but about half sewn by hand.

Handmade wig, princess crown, and silk kimono with obi. (made by me.)
This pose is inspired by 時政之息女辰姫 (1858) ukiyo-e of a princess depicted in kabuki, whose likeness was done in ukiyo-e. I liked the pose...
Today was a productive day for me for a change. I'm 15 weeks along for this pregnancy, and for the last several weeks I've had on and off nausea and hormone headaches. Not the kind of nausea that makes me actually sick, but the kind that makes me feel like not doing much of anything, as well as not really having much of an appetite. I didn't really go through this with Kenzie. With her I had a couple really rough days, but I believe what I had with her was just a reaction to the strong prenatal vitamins I received from my doctor. As soon as I stopped taking those, and went to a non-prescription vitamin, I felt better and didn't experience the nausea again. As if the slight nausea isn't enough, I've been getting hormone headaches more often than I'd like. Of course, no one really wants a headache anyway, but it's no fun when you have a toddler who has no idea why mommy doesn't feel like playing.
So onto today...since I woke with no headache, and didn't really have any nausea I decided to try and get on the treadmill again (which since I started running in January, has declined rapidly in the last month). So I did a run walk for 20 minutes, then decided to try out this workout that I dvr'd from FitTV which is a Bhangra dance workout. It was actually really fun, but since I'm almost 4 months along and have really gotten out of the routine of working out, I really didn't feel up to the full hour workout, but I'll definitely give it a go another day.
I also ran some errands today at Target, buying new Brita filters for our water pitcher. I kept forgetting to get them the last two times I was out at places that sell them. I ended up with new filters AND a new pitcher that holds more water than our old one, so that was a plus.
As if that wasn't enough for me in one day, I finally finished this pair of baby booties that were a custom order. I just kept running out of time to work on them, and I really need to sew when Kenzie is sleeping. I'm far too tired by the time she goes to bed to work on them at night, so naptime is my work time. For some reason, a million other things always need to be done around the house at that time, but today I made it work and got everything done.
