2012 Meet Up/Event Schedule

Posted on by Nikki

For 2012, I am going to be listing not only the large meet-ups/conventions, but also the smaller Chicago-area meet ups that Resin Melody will be attending. They will be posted on the “Schedule” page.

While we may or may not have sales items, it’s always fun to meet new people and see new dolls!

If meets are hosted at someone’s private residence, the location will be withheld, but a link to the appropriate forum for RSVPs will be included.

Most meet ups are posted on either ChitownDollz or Dairyland BJD forums. Feel free to join & meet us! We don’t bite. 😉

Looking forward to posting more events/meet ups for next year, and hopefully meeting new people as well.

Evilbay (Ebay)

Posted on by Nikki

I have started posting a few non-Resin Melody made items on Ebay. I am hoping people are not put off by the “0” rating by the Resin Melody username. :/

We are planning on taking advantage of the “No Insertion Fees for the First 50 Listings per Month” on Ebay to not only sell doll items, but also other random items around the apartment. I will admit, though, that the Resin Melody Ebay account will primarily be used for doll items. 🙂

Want to check out what’s in our “online garage sale”? Take a look! http://bit.ly/rFPi5T

Virtual Sewing Meets!

Posted on by Nikki

I participate in virtual sewing meets hosted on Tiny Chat, and found out about them through Den of Angels. Unfortunately, DoA has decided to remove the “Links Out” subforum, and place the links in their wiki. That being the case, I thought I’d post an update here in case people want to join us.

Basically, it’s an online chatroom with a webcam option available.

If anybody wants to join in the chat, feel free! People come and go throughout the day, so if there’s nobody online when you join the room, stick around. Chances are, someone will be along shortly.

In all honesty, there’s no requirement to be sewing or have a webcam. It’s just an option. 😉

Questions? Let me know! If I can’t answer them, I can always ask someone who is more knowledgeable and get back to you.

Faceup – IpleHouse JID I

Posted on by Nikki

I have always loved Iplehouse’s JID I. Ever since she was released as a limited through their Noctarcana Circus line, I have been wanting her.

Imagine my excitement when one of our local collectors asked me to do a faceup on her new I! 😀

She requested a faceup to go with a black wig, and provided me reference pictures in both photoshop and hand-drawn. I hope I got it all correct. *fingers crossed*

The PM to the owner was sent today with pictures, and I thought I would post them up here as well. I think she came out super cute!

Hopefully the owner likes her 🙂

KollisionCon 2011 – After Report

Posted on by Nikki

We had a fantastic time at KollisionCon 2011 and are finally recovered! Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

If you are just finding out about the BJD hobby, be sure to check out the links for the Dairyland BJD forum and the ChitownDollz forum.

Dairyland BJD is a forum primarily serving the Midwest. It started in Wisconsin and has since spread worldwide. Most members, however, reside in the Midwest.

ChitownDollz is a forum serving the Chicago-area. We might not chat on there as much as we’d like (most of us are on Dairyland and tend to chat there more), but we do post all of our Chicago-area meetups on Chitown.

We also met some new friends while participating in Artist Alley. 😀 We hope to see them at other conventions!

Feel free to check out Paradise Rose on Etsy. Lina makes the most adorable cupcake and sweets jewelry! She also makes the cutest bows, stars & lace brooch/hair accessories. Perfect for the sweet lolitas and mori girls out there.

Also check out Sweet Plushie Cake Creations on Etsy. Tasha makes the most awesome fleece hats out there! They are super cute and amazingly warm! She also does custom plushies, and her plushies are excellent quality! Don’t hesitate to contact her if you have something in mind. I’m sure she’ll be able to help you out!

As for Resin Melody‘s Etsy shop, we will be updating the shop with new items this week. Stay posted!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at future meetups and conventions!

If anybody has any questions, please feel free to contact me!
