Dolls and Ceramics: Puppy Garden Momoko and Raku

The raku trinket boxes continue with a black and white theme. I love how the white crackle glaze turned out. I added some gold leaf to a couple of the pieces, including lining the inside of one of the boxes. I like a little extra bling. I think the color scheme and design are giving off Chanel vibes.

The doll pictured is the Momoko Petworks CCS Puppy Garden/Stars and Papillo 09AW. She is wearing a prototype pattern I haven’t finished quite yet. I’ve always loved this Momoko and I’m so glad she’s a part of my collection.

There are more images of all these items on my Instagram account.

Dolls and Ceramics: Momoko, Picco Neemo, and Bunny Bowl

This bowl was my first prototype using the bunny slip-casting mold to make rabbits as feet for a wheel-thrown bowl. I think it turned out pretty well. The bunny eyes are delicately painted with underglaze. The greenish glaze on the rim of the bowl is the recycled glaze from the spray booth at the studio. It ended up being a nice shade of green this time around.

The dolls pictured are Momoko (taller) and Picco Neemo (smaller). I can not recall too much about the details of each doll. I picked up most of the pieces from IFDC (International Fashion Doll Convention) years ago and some details were lost in the shopping fun. I remember the Momoko is rerooted with that awesome pastel hair. Picco Neemo was from the Azone table in the sales room at IFDC. I sure miss that convention.

Momoko Dress Up Time: Toy Story Outfit (part 4)

After a few trips to local stores, I finally tracked down the Alien Skirt and Top set for Barbie. The Momoko modeling the clothes is Cosmos Sweetheart (regular version). I picked her up at IFDC this last week.

Okay, back to the Toy Story 4 set. It comes with a shirt, skirt, and bag. When I first opened up the set, I wasn’t too excited about it. However, I think as I had some dress up and photo time, it has grown on me a tiny bit. Perhaps I’m just not a fan of what feels like a sports jersey T-shirt. Her assemble was a little lacking, so I added the necklace and bracelet. The skirt nearly falls off the doll, but that’s to be expected since Momokos are quite a bit slimmer than traditional Barbie types.

What do you think? Is she ready to join ranks with Buzz Lightyear or is she destined for the claw machine?

By the way, there are four individually packaged fashion tops floating around out there that I would LOVE to find. I hope they make their way to my neck-of-the-woods. Have you seen them yet?

Calico and Lace Dress Set

I FINALLY finished a new set for Momoko! It sat around for quite a while because I really wanted to work on my tatting skills to add a little extra to the outfit. It turns out, I’m WAY better at needle tatting versus shuttle tatting.

The set comes with a beige coat with handmade tatted lace applique brooch, sleeveless calico print dress, underskirt, and purse with matching tatted lace applique. It fits a variety of fashion dolls, including Poppy Parker, Liv, Jenny, Tiny Kitty, and some Barbie sizes. I noticed it was sometimes difficult to get larger hands through the sleeves of the coat.

In the near future, I hope to do a variation of this outfit in a digital pattern to sell in the shop. Support an artist! Visit my Etsy shop. You can also follow my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest pages.

Momoko Dress Up Time: Toy Story Outfit (part 3)

This is the last of the three Barbie Toy Story 4 outfits I was able to find recently at a local store. In this post, a Momoko is wearing the “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” set. The skirt has a print of several Toy Story characters, including some who make a debut in Toy Story 4. The set is very playful and colorful. I thought the oversized white boots complemented the outfit well. The Momoko pictured is “Fireworks Date”. Have I ever mentioned I picked her up in Disney World, of all places? She was for sale in the Mitsukoshi shop in the Japanese pavilion in EPCOT. It was a strange but awesome place to buy a Momoko!

I was not able to get the fourth set called “Toy Story Alien Skirt and Top.” I am still on the hunt. It would be great to have all four. There should also be some individual pieces floating around at stores and I’ll try to find those, too.
