Hi! I'm Rivet! You might remember me.
This is my sister Bocklebee. She is new!
We don't look too much alike.

Oh wow, I love Bocklebee's look. Those deep blue eyes are absolutely irresistible!

Thanks! They are custom painted glass animal eyes. I had intended to keep her stock eyes, just paint the backs, but they were both ruined when I knocked them out of her mech. They were really glued in there.

Bocklebee is gorgeous! I love her dark eyes and dark hair. And, as much as the practical side of me is hesitant to admit it, I ADORE little pinafore/country-style ruffle dresses like your custom girls are wearing. They are so cute! Where did you find those dresses (or did you make them)?

I like Ra Muw better stock, and Icarus customized. Those might not have been your fist pick for eyes, but I love them in Bocklebee. That wig is amazing too.

Vadafade: Ha, did I make them. No, I did not.
I love dresses like this also. They were made by etsy seller sewgrandmacathy. I don't know if she is taking commissions now or not, but you can ask her. She mostly sews for American Girl and Blythe, but she has a Dal and she has made literally dozens of the dresses my Dals wear.
She has sold almost 4000 items in her shop, but her husband died last year and her shop is not as active as it once was. But you can always ask! This style is called Country French.

Rivet is so cute! And I like the sisters' outfits too.
Both Steampunk Dals look different now - sweet country girls rather than punk.

Aww i always love seeing your dals; I actually prefer Ra muw's 'diver/e lorer' stock over Icarus 'Dragon-fly cat thing' (?) I'm considering putting Ra Muw on my want list

They are both beautiful, but I prefer Ra Muw overall as well. I just wish her dress wasn't quite so short.

Thanks! That's my aim - to get others to buy more Dals!

I don't know how I missed this response. Thanks for the information, True -- I have added her shop to my Etsy favorites.
