I didn't just have conjunctivitis, I also had a sinus infection. It took me DOWN. Also, it's made a lot of detail work I could be doing impossible. When I tilt my head down to focus on what my hands are doing I feel all the weight of the crap in my sinuses and it … Continue reading Stuffed Animal Renewal.

Starfire 1.0 Finished

November 28, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

Because I had left over air-dry polymer resin clay I decided to make Starfire her own Silky. To color the clear/white clay I had I added a little acrylic to a blob of clay and rolled/kneaded it until the pigment was evenly distributed. And I set to work rolling, pinching, and sculpting. The Silkie I’m … Continue reading Starfire 1.0 Finished

Sadness stands

November 27, 2018November 27, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

My Sadness has tiny little feet. She falls over easily. 100¥ shop time! I bought cork coasters, a set of adhesive felt squares and (not shown) a wooden dowel. I then glued two coasters together and drilled a hole slightly narrower than the wooden dowel. You could easily cut a hole with an X-acto razor. … Continue reading Sadness stands

Doll Kimono: take two!

December 3, 2017May 14, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

Ok, here's my second take on making the yukata/kimono. First version is here. I smoothed out the curve on the first pattern I made. I also made the area where the front joins the back (a the shoulders) a little smaller by shaving .5cm off it. I should have added a centimeter to the bottom … Continue reading Doll Kimono: take two!

A very very loose play by play: Kimono

December 2, 2017May 14, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ 1 Comment

I hesitate to call this a tutorial because I'm still figuring out ways to make this. This is a a loose guide as to what I'm doing at best.
