Matresca and future plans at Arkadian Dreams
I finished Matresca's face-up last night; she's the VDES head I bought from Kazzii on DoA back in April. I opened her eyes up and gave her a face-up. The effect I was going for was "Ice Princess", which I think I've achieved:
Her BW Angel Of Dream 1/3 girl body was ordered from RenaissanceFashion (AOD's Singapore agent) on Friday, taking advantage of a special offer to get the body for 25% less than the usual price. I'm glad I bought the body when I did, as the special opening offer seems to have ended. Lysande's body will have to wait until I've got a few doll dress sales under my belt and a healthy balance in my PayPal account! I received notification today that Matresca's body has been shipped so it should arrive (hopefully) around the end of this week.
At which point, out will come the sewing machine to start making dresses for eBay! The Arkadian Dreams label will cover clothes in sizes to fit SD and mini sizes, covering (in SD sizes) CP Delfs (boy and mature girl bodies), AOD/DZ 1/3 girls, SoulDoll 60cm boys, Dollfie Dream and Obitsu 60cm, and (in mini sizes) CP Kid Delf andMinifee boys, DZ 1/4 girls, DoC boys, Volks MSDs and Liebchens. There will eventually be a DollShe 70cm range as well. Initially we'll be concentrating on building up stock to open an eBay shop, but eventually items will be available to buy from the Arkadian Dreams website and I hope to be able to take on commissions in a few months' time. I am being joined in this venture by RedCountess, who is hoping to produce a line of crocheted items for the shop - look out for photos of a sample of her work on this journal soon!
There are also plans for an Arkadian Dreams line of doll jewellery at some point, including silver "birthstone" rings, which will preview here in this community first. All in all, some exciting things will be happening here at Arkadian Dreams in the next few months!
