Today's project: a MCM esque sideboard based on a couple of pictures I've seen

My version:

I think I got the spirit of what I had in my head. I wanted to have wooden doors but the needles kept going through the sides rather than straight down. I will neaten the edges with thin craft sticks. But I like the white with the natural look, but I don't feel like it matches with the other furniture because the wood is black.

Building a versatile room for your bjd pictures.

I posted this in the Granado themed thread on Den of Angels, and I thought I’d add it here too for those who’d like an insight on how I built the “Treasure Room” for this year’s @doll-granado​ photo contest. Maybe those tricks can help you build your own bjd space for immersive photos: The room I built can be taken down to pieces; Most of it is made of cheap foamcore sheets. - So you have the walls, which are two separate pannels of 5 black foamcore sheets glued together with hot glue. In the photoshoot I simply covered them with fabric to simulate a tapestry. - Then I built two different set of shelves in black foamcore, (foamcore and hot glue are really easy to work with and aren’t expensive.) Those two pieces are the most difficult to store afterward, but depending on what you make as furniture, you can use them to store your own stuff - The practical part of using foamcore is that you can pin stuff in it. This is how I made those little picture frame stick to the wall, the mirror, the unicorn tapestry and the curtain. When you’re done with your shooting, or if you need the space, just unpin everything and put them away. So you have a base set made of foamcore, and by changing the fabric on the wall and the deco around it, you can morph it into many different room design. Now let’s add a Granado face to this post: Funny fact: The two artwork on the right are actual paintings that were stolen and NEVER RECOVERED to this date “Poppy Flowers” by Vincent van Gogh, and “The Concert” by Johannes Vermeer Guess who’s the guilty party? hehehe

Barbie's "Commuter Set" is another look that seems to be lifted directly from a Vogue cover:

It's a perfect look for a girl going into the city for a day of shopping.

Instructions from Sylvanianstorekeepers here

so recently i tried to modify/mildly customize my Veronica storm doll, bc unfortunately when she arrived in the mail, her bubblegum had broken off in transit and was rattling around the box lmao

the peg was still in her mouth tho, so i used a mini electric sander to carve it down to her lip shape and then painted over it with metallic acrylics and gloss sealer

the bottom lip is a Little rough, but i figure i can go back and smooth it later bc i think it looks fine now for the time being (and much better than it was, at least lol)
