Venezia is Back!

This is definitely the outfit that took the longest to take photos of. I did it quite quickly, as I only needed to sew the pants (croptop and coat were old, and the socks are purchased).

The problem was that when I was changing her heeled feet for the flat ones, the string bounced, cut my finger, and cracked Venezia's calf. I almost died that day. I had been having an awful month, a terrible week, and then V was broken. I tried writing to Iplehouse, and turns out they not only stopped producing Glow Light Brown, they were only offering EMS Premium, and I honestly couldn't afford $50 of shipping just for a $15 parts. Gratefully, I was saved by AirimirOfGondor (read here interview here), who fixed the leg. The matching is not that good, mostly because of the MSC, but for now I can live with it.

After that, a relocation happened, and Venezia was boxed for a while. There isn't much in this post sans this rant and a bunch of photos--I was trying odd angles, and most of them ended up badly focused (I'll blame the chilly wind that forced me to rush, and you cannot rush a manual lens). Anyways, more under the cut.













This would be all for today! I know the edits weren't great, but I really like that concrete wall! Must make a fancy dress to take her pictures there--there is something appealing about amazing dressed photographed against rough backgrounds. Anyways, at least Venezia is back!

  3. Great to see Venezia again! And I agree with you - there is something with rough backgrounds and amazingly dressed dolls, as in this case. I would love to visit a old factory and take Genevieve along in her can-can dress. :)
