Where the Fay Dwell (a Lyrical Photoshoot)

Hello everyone, 

I hope you are doing well, I know the quarantine is hard. But to cheer you up, I have a lyrical photoshoot to present, I took the photos beforehand and decided to write the poem later. 

So here it is: 

I know a place where the fay live, 

it is near a cave, 

with sparkling crystals that will make your heart lie still, 

In the glenn, 

which has been talked of by wise men, 

the fay fly, 

into the summer sky, 

There are tales spun, 

but of them none of them lie, 

For if you believe: you will see the fay fly, 

They hide in flowers, 

they particularly like sun flowers, 

But if you believe they may come near, 

If you are sad they will wipe away a tear, 

If you are happy, they will play a lyre, 

They are the fay, 

and if you believe they will surely come to play.

Do you have any favorite stories involving fairies? If so, I would love to hear in the comments. :D

Custom Doll: Steampunk-Cyborg (Belated Blog Anniversary Special)

Hello everyone, 

This was meant to be posted on March 30th (the date of my blog's creation). 

But then a lot happened, so instead we will be celebrating Q's Creative Corner's blog anniversary very late. 

I thought it would be fun to film myself doing doll customizations, not only because I had seen doll customizers who inspired me to do this, but also because then I would be showing it in a way that wasn't just pictures. That way, you (the audience or reader) could see it and see how I do it, and maybe learn from it if you are interested in it. So, here it is: 

You can also watch it here

I hope in the future that I will be able to produce more videos like this, for this blog.

Would you like to see more videos like this on my blog in the future?

Custom Doll Project: Fairy Girl

Hello everyone,

 I didn't post this right away due to the fact that the holidays came up and I already had a holiday post. 

 Shall we begin?: 

I started out by using a Tinker Bell doll since her ears would already be pointy and I wouldn't need to use clay to make them that way.  

Then I removed her paint by using non-acetone nail polish remover. 

(After that I ran her under sink water, as it is bad for the polish remover to stay on her face.) 

I then cut her blonde hair and glued on red yarn. 

Then I painted on purple dots to begin her eyes. 

The I outlined her eyes in black and gave her a pupil. (Sometimes this step has to be done over and over, because the pupil sometimes looks wonky.) 

I then did the other parts of her face. I dotted her face with other paint markers, 

and gave her blue lips (this was later changed to green, but I don't have a photo of it) and orange colored eyebrows. 

I also then made her an outfit, using felt, and gave her silk leaf wings, which I then also dotted on with paint markers.  

The last thing I did was to add glitter glue to her. The glitter took a lot of time to dry, but in the end it looked great.

The Fairy Girl (a Photoshoot)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
 Today, since I didn't have a post planned for Thanksgiving, I decided that I wanted to make a non-Thanksgiving related post, which revolves around one of my recently customized dolls.

Let's begin the photo shoot:

I really like the way this angle looks. 

I like how the glitter on her face was captured in this photo. 

I like the angle of this photo.

Which photo is your favorite?

P.S. The next post will show the progress of how I customized her. 

Custom Doll Project (part one): Giving Her New hair.

Hello everyone,
Today I am going to show you a custom doll project I have been working on. 
Here it is:

I found a doll that had very tangled hair and was not in the best condition to customize, and fix.
She is a Disney Princess Royal Shimmer Rapunzel Doll.  Her hair was very, very tangled...er matted. so I decided to fix it by giving her new hair.

To fix her hair I considered doing a full reroot which would mean taking off  her head. Though having had one bad experience trying to do that, I decided to cut off her hair instead and replace it with yarn (similar to my doll colonial hairstyle post).

So, I began cutting off her hair:

Considering how tangled and matted her hair was, it was a little hard to cut it off. 

At this point in the picture her hair reminds
me a little of Princess Diana's or Kes's hair (from Star Trek: Voyager).

Once all of her hair had been cut off except for a few pieces of hair, which would be useful for helping the yarn stay on. 

I got out my yarn of choice which was bright red and then started hot gluing it to my doll's head. I didn't have the brush I usually

use to brush out the yarn to make it look more like real hair. Instead, I unraveled the yarn and gave her a long and curly hairstyle.

Do you like the way she turned out? Have you ever customized a doll before?

P.S. In Part Two I plan to repaint her face.
