Eye in the Mirror

Girl in a Frame

...






















And an extra especially for my sweet LJ readers;


Right'o. Photo shoot of Ila to celebrate her new wig, sort of. Although I still feel it's a bit unfinished, but I can always sow more crap in it.
I'm planning on making much more of these kind of wigs for Ila, a bit Marie-Antoinette inspired, but a tad different, like this one with the dreads.
By the way everyone, this might be the last time you see Ila with this face-up, because I'm planning something new. Something that's going to take even more work than the cross did. And hopefully be more awesome as well. :D

Feeling a bit mweh the past week. I have vacation and I pretty much psychologically collapsed as soon as I had some space. Turns out I'm trying to do too much at once after all. Guhr, it's so hard to balance, especially when I get a bit socially closed off if I decide to follow my heart and just make stuff, and I don't want that either. So..finding a path that's tortuous and exciting but also a bit broader and hardened every now and then is my goal!

I do have lot's of plans piling up, that make me all excited! Really looking forward to re-do Ila, and make her another wig! Also still working on the Drunken Driver's gown (discovered that I need A LOT more fabric), and Dahlia ofcourse. And those are just the tip of the iceberg (also just my personal projects). It seems that every time I finish something, three more things take it's place that are linked to it. Like with the wigs. Guhr! (I recently wrote down the 5 percent of things/ideas I'm working on like, actively, at the same time right now. It were around ten things. BIG things, like the Drunken Driver, Dahlia, and my projects at school. Phewie!)

Anyhow, I hope everyone enjoyed the shots! <3
Have a great day~

Jubriel

this shoot is truly beautiful <3 The colors are very delicate and of course, as I love Ila very much, i'm just happy to see her >w<

And good luck with all your projects, but take a little time to rest !
Jubriel[info]jubriel on October 31st, 2009 07:42 pm (UTC)
Yay, thanks! I'm so happy you like Ila so much, and the pictures overal. What you describe is exactly what I wanted to achieve with the colours.

And thanks for caring!!! *3* <3

You are very welcome <3

Hahaha, thx! x3 I really like lace too, although I always need it with big piles of subtlety. Actually I need every outstanding style or thing with muuuch subtlety.
I made the skirt thing myself btw! :D

I love the whole setting.
Ila's wig is so beautful! I love all the suff you sewed on it.
Jubriel[info]jubriel on October 31st, 2009 07:58 pm (UTC)
Thanks so much Rosered!
I'm so happy I finally made that wig, had it in my head for so super long now. Can't wait to make more of them! Going to make one with a bird cage in it next! =D
Thx again! x3

That mirror is a sweet find! I love how you've framed her in it for some shots. Can't wait to see her next evolution. <3
Jubriel[info]jubriel on October 31st, 2009 08:01 pm (UTC)
yeah <3 I found it at this super cheap store, where they apparently have much more neat old-looking stuff, which I looove.

And me neither. <3 Going to add a lot of soft colours, give the figure a blue robe and make it look a bit like old paintings colour-wise. Hard to explain in text, but I'll show it as soon as it's finished! :3

This must have been the most beautifull shoot I saw.
Not only is there a lot going on without it being to crowded, the composition, lighting and Ila herself give of this melancholy and dark feeling in a homey sort of way.

I love Ila's wig.
Jubriel[info]jubriel on October 31st, 2009 08:07 pm (UTC)

Wow I love her.

She is breathtaking and wonderful... I can't wait to see more pictures of her.

I am going to add you, ok?
Jubriel[info]jubriel on October 31st, 2009 08:13 pm (UTC)
That's absolutely and perfectly OK! :D Thank you very much! (If you'd like me to add you back, please say so and I'll do that, want to become a bit more selective since I also post some personal things here now and then ;3)

I'll post more soon~ x3

Sophietje! You should be proud of this shoot. The way you placed everything, it looks so...perfect! I'm really dumbfounded how you did that.

Keep on making beautiful and inspiring things, but above all, keep on enjoying what you do! *bigfathugehumongeoushuuuugggg*
Jubriel[info]jubriel on October 31st, 2009 08:16 pm (UTC)
Smoeliewoelieoelwerk! 8D You're cute, your comment helps me be less stupid, and I love you. You're better than ice-cream. xD

Hihihe, you and humongous hugs xD I'd like to try that! <3

I like how you've dressed up the whole "set".

In the last picture she looks like she's smiling which for me takes away the uncanny valley creepiness and makes her look pretty. ;)
Jubriel[info]jubriel on November 10th, 2009 08:21 pm (UTC)
Hehe, thanks Muis. :)
And I'll take that as a compliment, the un-uncanny valley-ness xD I find it a good thing when a doll turns out more versatile, even if the uncannyness suits the character. xP
LaPlaceDemon[info]laplacedemon on November 1st, 2009 04:50 pm (UTC)
What wig did you use as a base? or did you everything from scratch cuz that color is the perfekt color (one of my favorite shades of white) and the style is amazing and fits her perfect.

It will be interesting to see her new faceup and more fab hairstyles
Jubriel[info]jubriel on November 10th, 2009 08:24 pm (UTC)
I just used a soddy old wig I received with a luts outfit aaaages ago. It's really a horrible little synthetic thing, but it's nice to have a base to work on. I reckon real mohair will be more difficult because of the skin, and all the sowing that went into this wig.
I think that white won't be that hard to find though, there are a lot of stores selling those kind of synthetic mohair wigs. :)

Thanks a lot for the comment! :D

I found your LJ on DoA after seeing one of your photoshoots. Both that one and this one are amazing! Your Ila is so lovely. Her face-up really appeals, doesn't it? Thanks for sharing!
Black_Rose[info]pinpun on January 30th, 2012 06:52 am (UTC)
I like this photoshoot very much, because those colors are absolutely amazing and doll looks also adorable with that face up~ There is so much nice stuff in photos which makes them so adorable, but especially colors are those were I loved right after I saw these ♥
