Tricorn Hats & Buckled Shoes (A Photo Shoot)




Hi everyone! 
Today I thought was a perfect day to post a photo shoot, 
anyway here it is: 



I really like this photo of Felicity's necklace (that allows her to time travel).







I really like the angle of this photo. 



I really like how this picture turned out. 


                           I like this picture of Felicity's tricorn hat, because of the angle.








I thought this picture turned out well. 

Felicity suddenly decided to fall asleep during the photo shoot, 
so, of course, I took a picture of her lying in the grass in the sun.

P.S. This is a update on the doll colonial hairstyle project. I have the materials that I needed, and I think I will be able to work on it, and I plan to make it the next thing I post.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day! (post by Plum)


Hi everyone, this is Plum.

Martin Luther King Jr. day is such an amazing day! It honors Dr. King's work and life spent fighting for equal rights for African Americans.

I am happy to celebrate this day in honor of all the African Americans who fought for freedom, equal rights, and the right to vote.

How do you plan on celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day!? (Quinley and I both made posts.) And I hope you have a Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!:) 

Your Friend,
Plum

Doll Photography #5

Hi everyone!:) Just so you know I am still working on the doll colonial hairstyle post, just at the moment I can't find the materials that I need, and I am still taking a few pictures for it. 
In the meantime I decided today was a good day to share some of my doll photography: 



               This is a picture of Lindsey, I liked how it turned out. And I am also planning on
               making her into Lindsey Stirling.

I don't believe I have posted this picture of Fay before,
but I really like her pose in this picture.  
                               I really like this picture of Loorena,
                                because I like how her hair looks against her face.
                                 
                               
                                 I like this picture of Madeline Hatter because it looks like she is
                                 considering wether she should open the book (kind of like Pandora's box).

Which photo is your favorite? 
Love,

P.S.  I will respond to comments from my previous posts as soon as I can.

Happy Holidays (post by Apple White)



Hello! I'm Apple White and I will be making a post today, for the holidays.
I love the holidays! They are one of the best times of the year! You get to give presents to people or receive presents, and there are decorations on everyone's houses. But the thing we all must remember about the holidays is that it is not just about the presents, it's about spending time with your family, and loving the reason why you celebrate the holiday.

My favorite things to do during the holidays: 

1. Make Gingerbread houses (with apples).

2. Play in the snow! Or take a photo shoot in it.

3. Make candy apples (yes I know they are usually for halloween but they are apples!) and add some sprinkles onto them, along with ginger bread people.

4. Read holiday themed books, such as The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, etc. Reading is always good to do and it can be relaxing.

5. Build a snow man. It can be fun to do and you don't need to have magical ice powers to do it.

6. Go to fancy holiday balls, and dress up in one of my best holiday gowns.

-------------------------------------

What's your favorite thing to do during the Holidays? Comment Below with your answer!:) 

Your friend,
-Apple White

Doll Photography #4

Hi everyone, 
Today I thought would be a perfect day to share some of my doll photos.  

Here they are: 


A picture of Plum, for some reason this picture never got into the photo shoot
but I like this picture. 

An old picture of Gletta, 
I like this picture probably because of her pose. 


A picture of Molly's locket, I like the way it looks against her shirt. 



This doll doesn't have a name (yet!) 
but I like this picture because of the colorfulness. 



Marie-Grace holding a leaf, this picture almost got into the photo shoot 
--------------------------------------------------------- 

Which picture is your favorite? 

Love, 
Quinley

The Dance of The Sugar Plum fairies (A photoshoot)| Inspired by Lindsey Stirling


(click on the picture to see the words better)

The Holidays are coming soon, 
so I decided I would be a good time to do a photo shoot. 
The photo shoot features: Apple White, Plum (A sugar plum fairy even though I haven't made wings for her yet), and Ella. 
You can listen to this while looking at the photos: 
Lindsey Stirling- Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
You can also watch to it on youtube here 







I like this close up. 

I like this picture of Apple, maybe because of the angle. 



I like this picture of Ella, probably because one half of her face is in the dark, while the other half 
is in the light. 


I like the lighting in this picture of Plum. 





The interesting thing about this photo is that 
the lighting makes it look like Ella's eyes are golden. 


This is a skill used in ice skating, dance, and yoga. 
It's when you lift up your leg behind you and hold it with your hand. 
I did a simmalir thing for Ella (in this picture), 
except that it was inspired by a movement that Lindsey Stirling often does in her videos. 



I like this photo of Apple, because she looks really calm. 

Plum doing the ice skating trick, again.

Which photo is your favorite? Are you excited for the holidays? 

Love, 
Quinley 

P.S. I am planning to do a tutorial (which I hope to post sometime soon) showing how you can make a colonial hairstyle for boy dolls (with plastic hair).
