Yesterday I managed to paint two more sets of wings, as well as make the flower wreath for the Lavender Fairy. That leaves one set of wings left to paint, and two sets of feathered hair accessories to make, and I'll be finished everything.
I like the shimmery look of the blue and lavender wings. They started out a shimmery organza, like the pink unpainted set, but the acrylic paint I use dulls the finish, so a coat of iridescent glitter over the painted areas helps puts the shimmer back.

Charie has finished painting my Butterfly Narae and Narin, so I'm looking forward to going to pick them up. I have plans for them to be dressed as a very elaborate Rococo couple, heading off to a Masquerade Ball. They will be the most elaborate costumes I've done for a BJD to date, so will make another "Creative Journey" album to chronicle my progress. But I've just started negotiations for the next big commission, so the Rococo costumes will have to wait a little longer. In the meantime I do have something Narae (she'll need a new name) can wear, but there's nothing for Narin. Maybe I should throw together a quick simple "pioneer-Hobbit" type outfit like Maya's. I need another one of those for our summer trip anyways.
