Etsy Preorder: December 16th @ 5:00pm EST - Minifee and Unoa Sydney Dresses

---

Hello everyone!

The preorder for Minifee and Unoa Sydney Dresses has gone live. :)

As mentioned in my last post, the preorder is limited to 6 dresses. However, you can choose any combination of colour (blue or cream) and bust size (large bust Unoa, or large, small, or cutie bust Minifee).

The preorder will close when all 6 spots are taken and dresses will ship in 2-3 weeks.

Please be aware that due to the print of this fabric, the internal bodice seams on the cream dress may be visible - if this is something that may bother you.


Happy shopping and thank you for all of your support! ♥

Upcoming Preorder: Minifee and Unoa Sydney Dresses

---

Hello everyone! Welcome again to my intermittent blog~! Hooray.


I had a lot of people ask me about this dress when I brought it to Doll North last May, but I wasn't quite ready to do anything with it then. It was just a fun project for me to do to give Mali something special of her own - the pattern wasn't finalized, I didn't have much of the fabric, and I had so much else on my plate that it just wasn't going to happen.

However, I've been playing around with the pattern again, a wonderful friend lent me her Unoa for pattern testing, the lace tops weren't working as I had hoped, AND I randomly found more of this fabric while I was on a trip, so it seemed like the perfect time to switch up my plans and release these dresses instead.



This will be a limited release of 6 dresses so that I can get them out in a reasonable time. You can choose between Small and Large/Glamour bust Minifee and Large bust Unoa. :) They are only available in the Royale fabric this time, but in both Navy and Cream. I've been experimenting with other fabrics to see which ones will work in this style and should have more available at a later date.

The preorder for these dresses will open on December 16th (time still TBD) and go until all 6 spots are taken. There will be another post here and on Instagram with the final details.


Hope you like them! ♥

Coming up next is ideally lace tops and fox skirts! But maybe we'll see something else in between. ;)

Etsy Update: August 12 @ 6:30pm EST - So. Many. Skirts.

---

Hello everyone!

Long time no sewing, but back now and excited for the future. :) I've had some personal things going on lately that have been getting in the way of... well... everything. Still a bit unsure if I'll make a post about any of it - we'll see.

Anyway! I've been working hard these last few weeks getting ready to restock my Etsy. :) I asked on Instagram if I should do a big update later or a small one soon and most people were pretty torn. So was I, so I decided to pick somewhere in the middle and do a biggish update by number of items, but less variety so I could post it soonish. *thumbs up for fence-sitting*

This one is going to be Minifee skirts! Approximately eleventy billion Minifee skirts.

Modelled on a Unoa body

The update includes some remakes of previous skirts that sold out really quickly, plus a few new designs in some wonderful fabrics I've collected.

---

They will be up on Etsy at 6:30pm EST on August 12.

---

Minifee skirt in Artichoke fabric

Also included is a series of skirts I've been wanting to make for about 2 years. The fabric store closest to me has a series of food fabrics that have been on the shelves for ages and I've always thought it would be funny to make skirts from some of the more doll-sized prints. Well, I finally convinced myself (with a little prodding from Goodbyeyouhellome) to just go for it even though it sounds silly, and I'm really pleased with the results!

There are 4(+1) patterns in this series at the moment: asparagus, popcorn, raspberry, river stones, and artichoke. I didn't get very much of each fabric but if they end up selling well I'll look for some more foods to add. :)

I think the artichoke is my favourite. What's yours?

---

The next update will be a preorder. Be sure to check out my Instagram for sneak peeks and updates. :)

Here's a hint:

 

Doll North 2017

---

Helloooo everyone! It's Doll North time again.

I will be attending the event again this year and also... giving my very first panel ever~!
What. I'm not nervous, who told you that?! o.o;

The panel is on Saturday May 27th at 5pm in the Crowne Plaza Regent Room. 

I'll be talking about how to create realistic characters. It's geared towards BJD owners, but I think a lot of the information is useful for non-BJD characters as well.

I hope to see some of you there. <3

5th Anniversary Giveaway Outfits

---

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've shared any sewing here (#thanksgradschool), so let's get up to date! Here are some photos of the two outfits I made for the winners of my 5th Anniversary Giveaways.

---

DrMeowgon won the art contest giveaway and asked for a LittleFee sized skirt in the new 'Little Foxes' fabric I had recently bought. It's so adorable that I had to go buy more after I finished the skirt.

She also asked if she could commission a cardigan to go with it and picked out the yellow-orange colour. It's a little fussy to work with, but this fabric always looks great. I hope I can find something similar to replace it soon - it's almost gone. :(

I'm particularly fond of how this outfit came out. The fabrics go really well together and the colours play off of each other perfectly. Also, sewing for LittleFee is so much fun, I need a reason to do it more often.

---

Photojoda won the big outfit giveaway and asked for: a floppy black hat, a white bustier top, and a skirt, cardigan and bracelet in brown/gold tones.

We went through all of my white fabrics trying to choose the right one. In the end, I found the perfect lace in the fabric store near my kitties' vet.

The skirt, cardigan, and bracelet were all old designs so they came together relatively easily. I'm quite fond of this colour combination for the bracelet. (Please excuse the paint on my finger ;p)

The top and hat I had to design from scratch. Generally my pattern making takes a while, but when I'm designing something entirely new that is nothing like anything I've ever made before it feels like it takes forever.

I experimented with a few different techniques for the hat, including wet felting and glue moulding. In the end neither were quite right for this project, but at least now I have a MNF hat block and some kinda weird shaped proto-hats? I'm hoping I can make a smaller hat block for Jonas. She really needs a little 1920s cloche. :)

The hat went pretty quickly once I figured out the proper materials and technique. I've got some more cut out for Etsy, and one for Bella to keep, because... look at her.

I spent a long time fussing with the pattern for the bustier top. I think I remade it about 6 times to get it just right. A lot of my clothes fit really tightly, so I have to be exact with my patterns. I think I've finally got this one down though - at least for small bust. ;p

---

I'd like to thank the winners for being so understanding of both my school obligations and the long development process that goes into making my items. You are both amazing.

Lots more updates to come now that classes are winding down and I have more time for dolls, so keep an eye out here for details. Hope you all have a wonderful day. <3

A Short Break in the Desert

---

Hey everyone!

This past week was a break* from school, so we headed to Arizona to visit family. Bella and Panaba came along because the scenery seemed like it would fit.

There was only time for photos once during the trip, but I think they came out really well. Outdoor photos always seem to turn out better for me for some reason.

I picked out some of my favourite ones for the blog, but you can see the rest on Flickr: [link].








We went hiking out in the desert and brought along a picnic, so since I had Bella's blanket with me and one of the antique miniature cups I found recently, I figured she could have a picnic too. :)

Because I hadn't planned this before we left, we had to make do with what materials were around. So Bella got a real tiny sandwich made from some of the ingredients we used in our human-sized picnic, and some water in her cup.

She's wearing her dreamcatcher tank top from crazykimochi (everyone agreed it was the most 'Arizona-ish') and her jeans that I made for Mali many years ago. It was also quite a bit colder than we were expecting, so she has on a jacket from goodbyeyouhellome.

As usual, this picnic is a shoe-free zone, because shoes are the worst. ;)

---

They day before we went for the hike, I'd picked up a small bag from a weaver at the Arizona Renaissance Festival so I grabbed a few cranberries to put inside. They can be... weirdly shaped pomegranates or something. The bag barely fit two cranberries, so I'm not sure what it's meant for at human scale, but it works perfectly for Bella.

I haven't spent very much time sharing information about the character's in Bella's story (it used to be Mali's story, but let's face it, Bella is the star), but Bella is a bit of a wanderer, so finding her in strange places - like sitting under a tree in the desert - it not uncommon. 

Since Panaba has become part of Bella's world, it's been fun trying to think up scenarios between the two of them. Panaba is a bit of a greedy sneak thief, so incorporating that aspect of her into a picnic was pretty easy!

When I first found her name, I checked online to make sure it didn't mean anything horrible, and found a 'name meaning' site that had an eerily similar definition to how I wanted her to be. It seems like that site is gone now, but I managed to salvage a few keywords: ambitious, organized, practical, successful, selfish, and materialistic.

That makes her come off a little worse than intended, but hopefully there will be more chances for you to get to know Panaba in the near future.






Still, the best way to get Panaba to stop stealing food, is to thoroughly distract her. Seems like the cactuses did the trick!



I hope you liked this little look into Bella's life, if you want to see more of the photos, please check out my Flickr album.

I'm hoping to have some more sewing updates for you all soon too. I got some cool fabrics in Arizona that I'm dying to try out, but commissions first! Hope you're all doing well! ♥

*'break' might be a strong word as I still had a lot of work to do, but at least I didn't have to go to campus. :p

Etsy Update: September 30th @ 7pm EST

---

Hi everyone!

To round off the anniversary funness, I'll be updating my Etsy shop tonight at 7pm. Unfortunately, it's not going to be as giant as I had planned due to some irritating issues with prototyping. My apologies for that. :(

However, there are still some new items and older designs in new fabrics going up (and a lot of purple! and Bisou Ai stuff! Finally!), so I hope you'll enjoy. <3

Hopefully I can work out the kinks in the other items and have them out soon. Until then, thank you all again for your support. It means more than I can say. You are amazing. <3

Mini Giveaway: Art Contest!

---

Hello again everyone!

It's time for another 5th Anniversary Fun Fair activity!

This one is a little bit more work for you, but hopefully still enjoyable - the challenge is to draw one (or more if you're feeling ambitious ;P) of my 4 character dolls. It doesn't have to be coloured, you can do chibi, realistic, draw them as cats, up to you! The most important thing is that they be recognizable as the character you are depicting - so pay attention to Mali's hair and Bella's bitchface, but feel free to get crazy with Tobi's hair and outfits.



To help you out (because I am a fail and don't post about my girls very often) here's a photo of each of them and a few words to describe their personality. For more in-depth information, you can also read the answers to the 20-ish questions set I posted a while ago: [link], or check their '10 Facts' on the 'About my Dolls' tab.

This giveaway is only open for 5 days from September 19th-23rd. Entries will be taken on Instagram: #inessencedrawme, or you can post it wherever and comment the link here.
** Contest has been extended to September 26th because weekends**

The prize is the winners choice of one of three custom items: a custom wrap bracelet, or a custom cropped (or regular length if you prefer) shirt, or a custom butterfly cardigan.* Wrap bracelets can be made for any size, but the top/cardigan is only available for MNF. 

I will be picking my favourite entry, so this will not be a random draw like the big giveaway. This is meant to be just for fun, so please be respectful of others and above all, enjoy yourself. Please don't stress. <3

---

*I might be willing to make something else around the same price point if you really have your heart set on a different thing. ;)

Now Open: 5th Anniversary Giveaway!

---

Hello everyone!

While my storefront has been open for far less time, I started taking commissions on DoA 5 years ago. To mark this anniversary, I've decided to offer a special full outfit commission including one prop and one accessory (+regular shipping*).

'Full outfit' can mean say, a top, pants, jacket and some jewellery, or maybe a dress, a sweater and a hat. I'm fairly loose on this definition, so you can be creative. :)

This giveaway is open to anyone, in any country, but I can only make items for dolls I have (unless you want to send me your doll :p). The dolls I have at home are: B-Line, A-Line, M-Line Minifee girls (small, large, and full busts), LittleFee, Bisou Ai, Maskcat Special Size, and Azone Picco Neemo.

The giveaway will be open from September 1-September 14 at 11:59. I will put all the eligible entries together and draw for the winner on September 15th then email them to start discussing their outfit.

I will announce the winner here and on my Instagram page.
If I do not get a response by September 18, I will draw a new winner.

Please keep in mind: this commission may take a few months to complete - if you are not okay with waiting this long, please do not enter.

---

How to enter:

1. Fill out this form completely: [link]
• To make it fair to people who follow me on different platforms, I will not be accepting entries in any other form.
2. Go do a fun thing.
3. That is all.

---

I am being very flexible about what kinds of items you can request, but please keep in mind that I am doing this for free and on top of everything else in my life, so there are some things I will need to pre-veto in order to get your items to you in a timely fashion and with my sanity intact.

These include:

1. Shoes
2. Replicas of another artist's work
3. Extensive embroidery/embellishment
4. Bodysuits/leotards with designs on them
5. Lots of hemmed ruffle layers

Other than these things, I'm willing to work with the winner to come up with a feasible outfit - so go forth and design! I look forward to reading your messages. ^^

---

*If you want tracked shipping you'll have to pay for that yourself. Sorries!

5th Anniversary Extravaganza!

---

Good aftermorning lovely people!

We are creeping up to the 5th anniversary of my little shop (how did that happen?!) and I wanted to do something to thank everyone who has supported me over the years. Since I don't remember the exact date anymore, I've just decided the whole month will be full of cool stuff.

Mostly it's just three things... not really an extravaganza. A fun fair maybe? That sounds more right.

1. The first half of the month I will be hosting a big giveaway. There will be more information here on the blog closer to the date - I'll be posting a notice on Instagram (and maybe Flickr... does anyone still use Flickr?), but you can only enter here on my blog.
   
2. Once the winner of that is decided I'll be hosting a little giveaway - but you'll need to do some work for this one. ;)
   
3. At the end of the month there will be a huge Etsy update with lots of new stuff - new designs, old designs, and new-old designs. Hooray!
   

So get ready, it's going to be crazy. I might explode. @.@

Thank you all for coming on this insane journey with me, I hope you're all doing really well. <3

Etsy Update: August 20th @ noon EST!

---

First draft using current habits, and old pattern.... ^^;

Hello everyone!

I've finally carved out a little bit of time to sew while we wait for contractors to get back to us and will be posting a few items up for sale on Etsy. There will be long MNF butterfly cardigans, wrap bracelets, and (barring any catastrophes) Minifee Puff shorts! These are an old design I decided to revisit. They gave me a bit of trouble because I made the pattern a long time ago before I started using my current 'best practices' so it's taken a bit of tweaking to figure out what I was up to with the original. Oops!

Anyway, mini update will be on Saturday August 20th at noon EST. Hope to see you there! :)

Renovations + a New Studio Space

---

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know that we've started renovating our new house. Mostly it's just been painting and switching over the old light switches to ones we don't dislike, but we've also been planning some bigger renovations and are in talks with some designers to move forward there.

One closet gone, next one on the way!

The biggest thing so far has been my new studio space. Because I am spoiled and eternally lucky, I'm taking over two rooms upstairs. One was originally a bedroom... and the other one... well. It... uh... had a bed in it? I don't really know its original purpose as it was quite small (a twin bed took up most of the room) and it also has a door to a deck on the roof, which... seems odd for a bedroom to have? So who knows.

Both closets gone, wall and ceiling filled in, and fully primed. :)

We took out the closets in between these two rooms and have fixed up the walls and ceiling and primed and painted base coats on almost everything. The only major construction thing left is the flooring, as there is now a big space in the middle of the room where the closet wall used to be that has no floor. Once that's done I can finish up the painting and fetch all my materials from their basement prison! Yay.



The room is really big now... and to be perfectly honest, it feels a little TOO big, but there's not much that could be done about that with how the rooms were arranged... so poor me. :p I'm sure once my chunky furniture is stuffed in there it will feel a lot smaller, but regardless, I'm really looking forward to getting it all done and being able to get back to sewing and crafting!

I'll be sure to share some photos when it's completely done, but for now, thank you so much for bearing with me through all this! <3

---

All painted, carpets removed, and floor ready to be fixed up!

---

P.S. If you read this far, I love you and keep an eye open on August 25th for an awesome announcement. <3

10 Facts: Me (because why not?)

---

So I randomly decided to so one of these for myself... because... I don't know why. But here we go anyway!

---

Name: Melissa
Age: mid-20s
Birthday: January 11th
Favourite Colour: Green (generally more yellow/brown toned shades)
Myers-Briggs Type: INFP - Turbulent

1. I am 5' 1" (or 155 cm).

.
2. I can (usually) understand conversational French and Spanish but can't speak or write either.

.
3. I have a small tattoo on my knee from where I accidentally stabbed myself with a pencil.

.
4. The smell of wet peanut butter makes me sick to my stomach.

5. I am lactose intolerant.

6. I have central heterochromia (the most boring kind, but still) - the outside of my irises are blue and the insides are yellow.

7. I went to school for business and sociocultural anthropology.

.
8. I am really afraid of moths and grasshoppers.

.


9. Crowds and interacting with strangers make me really uncomfortable. My ideal living-space would be somewhere like York, UK or similar, where there are people and lots of interesting shops and things all within walking distance, but you're not expected to actually interact with the people... just sort of... be around them.

.
10. Cold rain and wet shoes/socks are things 100% guaranteed to put me in a bad mood. The weather affects my mood and motivation a lot, but wet shoes, just... ugh.

Backyard Photo Sessions

---

We finally moved in to our new house last week and I've been taking advantage of a nice photo spot in the backyard that works really well for Bella and Panaba. There's a patch of elfin thyme (which I might add to in the future ;) ) and a tree with moss and a nice bark texture. It's a huge tree so it's not really in scale, but still works. :)






Panaba got the first shot at it when I brought her with me to water plants. Investigating baby strawberries and the super tall tree. She's going to have a lot of fun here - just have to hope she doesn't meet the live raccoon that lives nearby!





Bella got some photos today too when starsarerobots came to visit. She looks really badass and it's a tad annoying. ;P She needs a new face-up soon but she's still rocking everything. I love how her hair was blowing in the wind here. One of the perks of alpaca wigs ~

I still don't have any photos of Bella and Panaba together outside, so I guess that's next! Overall I'm really happy with a lot of the photos from these shoots, so expect to see lots more until I find a new spot. ;) Need to upgrade my photo editing program because it's blurry on my new computer, so apologies if any of these are a tad out of focus. -.-;

This is my favourite photo from the whole set. It just fully encapsulates Bella as I see her - intense, strong, and effortlessly gorgeous. Every time I see this photo it's just... yes.

Rheia is such a beautiful sculpt. I'm so glad I was able to bring her home. She is so expressive and can flip between pensive and serene and firey and vicious with a slight change in angle. Bella specifically is always intense. I hope to continue developing and sharing her character with you all as we continue settling in. <3

Doll North 2016 Recap

---

So, I wasn't initially going to attend Doll North this year, and ended up planning it super past-minute. Despite some of the hiccups that caused I'm really happy I went. I got to meet so many wonderful people and do a lot of fun things - including my first ever Doll North game, and second-ever Doll North panel. :D I've also learned that I really need to plan things out better and that I'm not the kind of person who can just wing stuff, as well as apparently being really bad at travelling on my own... but that's okay. :p

On to the recap!

Merrydollround Strawberry Mousse

I left really early on Friday morning, but ended up missing my first bus and then having to stop halfway because I was feeling really sick (woo fainting on public transport~), and didn't arrive until the afternoon. When I got to my hotel they informed me that I'd actually booked in their sister hotel a half hour away... super - border hotels with similar names are not so much the best. Thankfully some amazing people on DN staff were able to find me a place to stay (starsarerobots and bumblebeeena I adore you both), and the rest of the day went really well.

At the end of the day I went and helped out with the open crafting event where people could do sewing projects, make wigs, and do other crafting stuff. Met a bunch of new people (and got exactly 0 sewing done XD), and then went out to dinner with a bunch of friends, new and old. Next time I'll be sure to try out some of the other projects instead of getting distracted.




Saturday my roommates and I were up bright and early and just chatted until everyone else got up. They're all super wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better group of ladies to share a room with. This was my first time attending Doll North as an attendee by myself. I've been before, but I was always either with someone and just stopping in, or selling, or entering a contest, and always had something very specific to do. So this year since I only had a DN ticket, and wasn't selling, or entering anything... I didn't really know what to do with myself. Kayteelizz asked me to get her a little Mousse from Merry Doll Round so that was first thing on the list. I got a chance to catch up with resinmuncher waiting in the line up, and spent a lot of time chatting with merrydollround, itsfansea, moretticircus, and elzamine afterwards and taking photos of the marketplace booths.

itsfansea's entry into project runway.
(I'm not actually sure who won?)

And then after that... I did the same thing again. XD Saturday was a very strange day if I'm being honest. BUT! I got to (very briefly ;-;) meet the ever lovely pettook!! It was really amazing to finally meet her in person even if only for a short time. Hopefully I can see her again someday. Eventually got my hands on a program though and was able to go to some events~

Picked up some lunch for people who couldn't leave their booths and got to take some photos of Project Runway (they're up on the Doll North facebook page if you'd like to take a look). That was interesting. :) The theme this year was Heroes vs. Villains and so the main supplies for Project Runway were comic book pages! Super cool entries. :D I also tried my hand at my first ever DN game BJD bingo... didn't win, but the game was really well constructed (webpage and everything! so fancy) and I had fun. Then was the Merry Doll Round Q&A panel! Despite the few technical glitches, I think it went really well. It was really interesting hearing the backstory behind the company and learning where Nuria finds her inspiration. I thought of a dozen more questions later on that I wish I'd asked at the time... but maybe I'll get another chance. :)

Little Kaye Wiggs Superman
for the Masquerade

Sunday was a bit of a whirlwind. I spent most of the morning immersed in the masquerade. The FFX Lulu entry won first prize in the 1/3 category, Princess Zelda took the 1/4, and little Alice took the Yo category. :) All well deserved! Then a bit more floating around for me before the masquerade was announced and the charity raffles were drawn (also didn't win, but eviltofu got the Lillycat girl I had my eyes on, so I'll just have to come visit her more ;p). After that I had to pack up and head out to catch my train home. I was really sad to leave this year and really miss everyone (starsarerobots and opalescent_raven I need to steal you next time for a proper dinner! And maybe I'll even be brave enough to get some photos with people ;) ). I know for sure now that I'll be going to DN again next year, but I don't know in what capacity. Regardless it should make planning and travelling easier now that I know the routes.

Once I got back home it was back to packing for our move. We've just got settled in to our new house so I'll have some time unpacking to think about what I want to do for next year. I hope to see everyone again in 2017 and maybe some new faces too! <3

I posted this on Instagram a while ago, but here's a little extra! Dream Selfys of Jonas and Tobi's sisters:

We're Moving!

---

If you follow me on Instagram, this is probably old news, but my fiancé and I are doing fancy grown-up things and recently purchased our own house!

It's pretty intimidating.

We have a few renovations to (hopefully) do before we move in but we should be all settled in at the end of June! So soon. @.@

This means all kinds of packing (nooo.... :( ) and running back and forth between our old place and the new house, and lots of painting and decorating and contractor wrangling, so probably a lot less sewing.



Good news is that I will still have a studio space, and it has lots of windows and outdoor areas to work (roof deck attached to studio room? umm... yes please!) and we will have a back yard and a forest as a next door neighbour, so I hope that will push me into taking a lot more photos this summer. :D

I hope to post some photos of my new space once it's all pretty-ed up, so there should be tonnes of things coming soon.

And now... back to phoning all the people ~!

New Item: LittleFee Cotton Pants!

---

Hello everyone!

I've been working on fixing up a lot of old patterns recently and delved back into sewing for tinies. The first new pattern is a scaled-down version of my Minifee Cotton Pants in LittleFee size. I've got a couple finished pairs and will also have 3 spots for custom orders.

They'll be up on Sunday May 1st at 3:00pm for anyone who is interested.

I'll also have some new bracelets up at the same time, so keep an eye out for those. :)

Hope you're all doing well! <3

Suggest-a-Thing!

---

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first timely inEssence Creations Suggest-a-Thing event-ish-thing! Yay!

I've got a billion ideas buzzing around my head at the moment and it's quite difficult to pick what to work on next - so I thought I would see what kind of things you would like me to make and pick that way. :)



If you would like to suggest a thing leave a comment here, on Instagram, or Flickr (or all 3) and let me know! You can suggest remakes of things I've made before, or maybe a remake but in a different size or fabric, a fabric you want me to use (links: skirts and dresses / pants / knits), or something entirely new! I really want to hear people's ideas.

Just so you're forewarned: the one thing you can ask for that will definitely not get done any time soon is remakes of the Sumomo skirts. I've made 16 of them in the last few months and need a bit of a break. :p They're not going away forever, though, so don't fret.

Dino cardigans are on the way, and I have a few other things being prototyped, but after that anything could happen!

Hope you're all doing well and I'm looking forward to your suggestions.
