Fraser Blue

 I had Robyn at Period Thread make this vest for me a while ago as I thought it would match Jamie's eyes well. Finally got some photos of him in it.

Adding the coat from SartoriaJ that I got with Jamie in mind.

And a close up of Jamie, just because I love him.

Dressing for Spring

 These pictures didn't turn out quite as nice as I'd hoped they would. I misjudged the natural light a bit, but Brianna donned her spring vest (by Period Threads) and I just felt like taking her out for some new pics since I haven't spent time with any of my Outlander crew for a while. I love the vined material in the material of the vest.

The face up on Brianna turned out so nice. When I ordered it, I was hoping I would like the lip color ok, as in the promos it seemed quite orange. In person it looks much more natural. Perfect for the time period Brianna resides in.

Reluctant Bride

 Looking back through my previous blog entries I realized I had never photographed mini Claire in her wedding dress to post on the blog. Scintillatingdollies on Etsy made this beautiful gown for the FID sized dolls. When I saw it in 2018, I just couldn't resist it. The embroidery is beautiful on the bodice.

And on the skirt as well, and the material of the skirt is a really nice choice as well, and as close as can probably be expected to find in dolly scale.

A shot of the dress Claire wore in the show for comparison, modeled by the beautiful Catriona Balfe.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with my 17" version.

More Fall Knits

 I've wanted to take these two outside for a photo shoot together for a while now, as I wanted to put both of them in their shawls by Beachgirlnikita on Etsy. Finally got around to lugging them out today. Luckily, with period wear, I can still use their stands outside.

Both of their skirts and Claire's vest are by Robyn of Period Threads. Geillis' top is from Iple. I found the cute little baskets at Hobby Lobby.

I knitted Geillis' arm warmers and Claire's are by Sherry Isenbarger.

Sunny Afternoon

 I changed Bree to another one of her new skirts and took her out for some photos. I thought the bushes out front were a little more shaded than they actually were, but we weren't out long. Just makes getting the shots a little more difficult, although I do like the dappled light affect here.

It was a bit windy too, but I guess that is to be expected as it is fall.............

I need to get motivated and knit some more things for the smaller dolls. I do like how this scarf/shawl I knitted last year works with this skirt though.

Mother & Son

 Still playing with Marsali, trying on different things in the wardrobe to see what might fit her. I put one of the nYID outfits I have on her, and while not a perfect fit, it will work in a pinch. I also decided to get my little blonde Dollshe Robin out and put him in some shots with her to see how he might work as Germain.

I like him in this role a lot............now I just have to find some blue eyes for him I guess. I guess I may have to shell grown up Fergus too! I may see how my SartoriaJ Jude works in the role.............what a slippery slope! 

And one last shot of Marsali. I had forgotten I had this "cap", as I've never used it before as Claire refuses to wear one. It suits Marsali though.

Marsali

 I was looking at the grouping of my Outlander dolls in my doll room this morning and had the thought that my Mature Narae (who is my oldest BJD, but she never gets any attention anymore) might fit in well as Marsali in the Outlander world. I love my Narae, and have no intentions of selling her, and it would be fun to put her in a role where she might actually get more attention. Forgive her shirt, she needs a proper shift, but this morning was a testing of trying to figure out if I thought she would fit in, so I just pulled together some clothing I had that was workable.

 I pulled down Rachel and Claire from the doll room to do a group shot of the women of Fraser's Ridge to see what I thought.  I really think she works well in the role.  She's tiny next to Rachel and Claire, but I've always seen Marsali as tiny anyway, and Marsali in the TV show is tiny as well, so her size works for me.  Now that I have decided that she does work rather well in this role I'll have to work on getting her some clothing pieces of her own. The waist cincher and skirt made for my nYID doll does fit her rather well though. I'm excited to have another way to play with an old favorite.

Putting these three together for a photo makes me want to get Brianna in SID size to go with them! They do make rather a striking group I think.

Portrait shots of Rachel and Claire as well, since I had them out.
