BTS Dolls In The SOOP

Posted by Venus on October 29, 2020 in BTS, BTS dolls the soop,

The BTS hit series called BTS In the SOOP may have ended but it left beautiful memories of the boys Jin,RM, Suga, JHope, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook and provided inspiration to us ARMY.

I'm excited to share with you the first few pictures for my new Instagram page that was inspired by the series.

My page doesn't try to recreate all the scenes in the series but will feature unforgettable looks worn by the boys. Who can forget the time when Jin, JHope, and Suga landed at the airport wearing sunflower headresses?

Suga discovers a new hobby. As seen in their Bon Voyage tour photos, Suga takes photos of the beautiful scenery.

If you're unfamiliar with BTS in the SOOP, here's a photo grabbed from their website. This shows the 7 members wearing carefree clothes in a beautuful outdoor scenery. The filming was done in reality TV style showing the boys enjoying themselves with various hobbies and games, and day to day activities (cooking and washing dishes).

I'm inviting you to visit my Instagram page BTS DOLLS IN THE SOOP and hope you will follow the journey.

Monster High Dolls Bella and Gigi

Posted by Venus on October 26, 2020 in Monster High Dolls Diorama,

Let's talk about Monster High Dolls.

I have collected a few dolls of these line from thrift shops because of their unique look, fashion style, and mobility, and more of curiousity.

I am paeticularly drawn to these cat-like dolls with tails. I have yet to research their model names to be accurate (and edit this post later).

I named these dolls Bella and Gigi.

Bella is the black with pink hair, and Gigi is the orange one (Resembling the real Hadid sisters. Get it? )

They started their instagram page

BELLAGIGIMONSTER in October 25, 2020. If you like to follow their journey, just go ahead and click the link.

Crafty Dollhouse Halloween Decorations

Posted by Venus on October 26, 2020 in Barbie Dolls Halloween Decor Wear Denim Friday Diecut,

Hello Crafters!

I wasn't into dolls until the Pandemic happened and there was ample time to stay at home. Living on my own, (while on schooling in Manila) it's hard not to feel disconnected and sad, especially when postcrossing (my hobby) was cancelled since March and the postal system was not efficient until September.

Moving on, I lately discovered the use of Diecutting for making diorama decors. I am a collector of diecutting tools and I still own the very first version of Silhouette Cameo. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and apparently, it's getting more fun in the dolliverse these days when it comes to decorating and dioramas.

I asked my friend Jen, the crafter of CTG Cards To Go to create some decors for me, using her Cricut machine. It's really amazing that she was able to crate a 3D fireplace and several cute decors that you can see in my photos.

Here is my doll, Kirrah, decorating the mantle. (In this photo, I think my room box looks smallat 18 inches wide!)

My girls Lucie and Kirrah are wearing Denim and Black outfits for WEAR DENIM ON FRIDAY #weardenimonfriday

The clothes are all handmade.

Lucie is wearing a sheer Kimono and jeans made by Van Evangelista, while Kirrah's outfit was made by me.

Here's another view of the diorama, after the installation of the decors. I would have made (if I'm crafting for myself) more decors so I can change the look in my posts and made 1:6 scale, which looks cute in photos.

You can see my dolls Icy and Kirrah discussing their vacation( I'm sending them for face repaint soon, and I'll be missing them. )

Other stuffs you see in my roombox were made by me...

Rugs, couch, foot stools, witch broom, bags, side table.

That's all for now!

Thank you.

BTS Park Jimin Turns 25: Doll Version

Posted by Venus on October 12, 2020 in Park Jimin Birthday BTS Dolls Diorama,

On October 13, 2020, Park Jimin Turns 25 and one can only dream about his worldwide success being a member of BTS. His fiery first ever performance of his song "Filter" in the recently concluded Map of The Soul Concert was so thrilling that fans all over the world shrieked and went crazy over the flick of his hand (you better watch the video). Twitter, Weverese, IG, basically all social media, cracked because of this....

The dance choreography was insane and is truly an iconic piece! (like Britney Spears level! You know what I mean.). Jimin also danced a classical version of "Black Swan" and showed a very moving performance, I shed happy tears. Not many artists at present can dance like Jimin (No, not Bieber, not even the late MJackson, not Ariana G., Not TSwift, Not CardiB. Sorry I'm mentioning all just to compare) making him very special.

OK, I made my point already. I love Jimin as an artist. So, with my BTSxMattel dolls, I made a little dreamy glamping birthday party for him, with his friend Taehyung.

The last photo is one of my favorites, with Jin and Tae, the three of them lying down and looking at the lights.

Happy Birthday Jimin!

Autumn Floral Arrangement DIY Miniature for Barbie House

Posted by Venus on October 05, 2020 in

A floral arrangement can be an eye catching piece in a diorama.

Making one is easy.

Gathering of materials:

DIY vase made of cardboard

Plastic flowers

Glittery ornaments

DIY pumpkin made of clay

DIY oranges made of clay

Paper stuffings.

Lay everything and group the materials together

The pumpkins and oranges were grouped together with the glittery ornaments and was placed at the center of the vase. Paper stuffings were placed inside to hold the ornament in place.

Place floral stuffings around the centerpiece and keep on arranging until the desired look is achieved.

Add more paper stuffings to add weight in the case.

Now, we have a simple yet pretty autumn inspired floral arrangement.

Barbie Doll and Elvis Presley in 1980

Posted by Venus on October 04, 2020 in Barbie Doll 1980 Diorama Elvis Presley,

Friday means Wear Denim On Friday at DOLLSHENANIGANS I created a fun theme DENIM BACK 2 THE 80s as a challenge doll enthusiasts as collectors to dress up their dolls to bring back 80s vibe with a denim.

I created a scene for my dolls with set up in a toy room. Debbie is the new girl, a Teresa Barbie from the 80s. July helps blow dry her lush hair. I just bought the hair dryer from a thrift shop, actually, not a thrift shop because it cost 1.5US$, but since I had to get one and it's movable... So here goes, July actually used it!

The 80s American fashion is iconic for its denim blazers and jackets, colorful clothes, neon, spandex, hair scrunchies, side ponytail, big hair nad bangs, bubble sleeves, hairspray, blue eyeshadow, and really cool music.

Elvis Presley (doll) was a special guest. He's all dressed up, looking cooler than ever in white pants. Elvis won a prize in a special online contest called #poppyfleaurautum by Poppyfleaur Barbie and you can see the post in DOLLSHENANIGANS AUTUMN

So that's it my fans! Let's do a fun diorama soon. Stay safe.
