I need one of these for the summer. Dumping some of my pics of accessories.

>>8719710
Omg that is gorgeous!!! Where is that from?

>>8719716
sorry I don't know I came across the picture on my Dashboard but there wasn't a source.

>>8719724
I love the use of roses in place of whip it works really well.

>>8719710
>>8719716
That's from hexenhaus.

>>8719729
Shame about the cheap lace, basic and kiddy plastic strawberries.

Saw this handmade item on sale on lacemarket. I wish I could have bought it.

>>8719707
Totally love the one on the left.
In a love/hate with the book hat.

But I think these would be perfect for Dolly Kei.

>>8719875
That's amazing!

>>8719875
holy crap this wins

>>8719707
Man I'd love to do something with that book hat. I imagine something with a lot of flowing chiffon.

>>8719715
Source on where this is from?

>>8719735
I hate to ask but do you have a link? Google would only show me a damn death metal band or btssb dress. Couldn't find that brand anywhere

>>8720072
Try hexenhaus jp. They have an ameblo and a link to a web shop that carries their stuff, but most of it is sold out.

>>8720032
The artist is 'Jam or Pains', I remember chiffon rose stocked these, no idea how to get them directly from the seller though.

>>8719808
Fucking adorable, how do I get?

Here's a couple of my newest bits, I don't usually buy accessories but I couldn't resist

>>8719736
3f?

I keep reading the name of the thread to this song:

>>8719875
The look of this makes me think about having sticky chocolate melt all over my hair. The feelings are too real, I'll have to pass.

>>8720239
I LOVE this

>>8720392
is that a squid with a penis?

>>8720485
It is a squid, I think it's meant to be waving with a tentacle but yeah, it does look a bit like a dick up close xD

>>8720386
damn that's cute, where'd you snag it from?

>>8720505
>xD
4chan is 18+

>>8720231
Need it. Where is it from? I love grumpy looking animals.

>>8720564

It's from somewhere called Alchimia Accessories, they're on facebook but it's not letting me most the link, keeps being flagged as spam. They were at a local loli event, but I can't find an actual online shop for them though.

>>8719715
I'm so fucking bitter about not getting this when chiffon rose stocked them.

>>8720077
Thank you for introducing me to this brand anon. So much want, so much sold out, but here is a pic dump of my favorites I found.

My friend made this for me for a Musee du chocolat coord.

>>8720567
Oh shut up. Emoticons doesn't say <18.

>>8720776
Anon, your friend is a sweetheart and that headdress is too cute.
>mfw this thread makes me want to open my own Etsy shop

So i'd love to trim my own hats but i am having a devil of a time sourcing decent silk flowers. Anyone have any links they wouldn't mind sharing? I shall contribute to the thread in hopes someone does.

BlissfulSilks on etsy.

This fucking hat. I might have to try to order from VM for this.

>>8719788
oh god this is adorable. Do you remember where it is from?

I have a ring just like this but not AP. The problem is that it wont go on any finger besides my pinkie. I can get it on my ring finger but it pinches the skin quite uncomfortably. I am afraid to try and pry it open because it might break since plastic is not flexible. Anyone have any solutions or tips for this?

>>8721076

when I was a kid we used to take those clear plastic toothbrushes, put them in boiling water, and then wrap them around our wrists to make bracelets. I'd imagine the plastic from the ring is similar, so try putting it under some warm/hot water and adjusting the ring to be open more. I wouldn't put it in boiling water just out of fear of damaging it, but hot water might work

>>8720983

>>8721072
I found not this exact ring but others like it for sale on Rakuten

>>8720228
WOAH whats the source or shop anon????

>>8721055
I've been looking at getting one of these!

>>8721138
sorry I don't know, if I did I'd own one.

Hope this isn't too off-topic, but I've been making jewelry for a while now and am looking to expand into jewelry specifically for lolitas, since I've started getting into lolita myself. Looking through this thread, I'm seeing a lot of OTT headwear and very detailed necklaces and rings. Is that what you guys are mostly looking for, even if it's very expensive? What do you like to see most in lolita jewelry and accessories? Sorry if I sound clueless, I'll try and contribute a bit.

>>8721165

I have a MIGHTY NEED. Anyone know the source?

>>8721417
Everything in this pic is amazing except for that feather.

As for your question, I would say lolitas do love very unique and detailed things of high quality (good lace, not cheap peeling pearls, nice ribbon, etc). The more unique and interesting it is the better, especially if it follows a certain theme, like sweets, music, marine, etc. Many will buy even if it's expensive, especially if it's unique, but your biggest competitor is Taobao, which has a lot of these high quality accessories for cheaper.

>>8719710
Am I the only one who wishes the syrup wasn't quite so bloody looking. And it looks like there's an eyeball balanced on top.

>>8721417
To add to >>8721438

Lolitas love things that look like other things. See:

Krukrustudio on etsy. I own a bag from them and their work is gorgeous.

>>8720981
Sauce? Reverse image search gives nothing.

>>8721467
I would lol if someone wore this with a coord

>>8721467
Thank you!

>>8721417
Definitely unique pieces with high quality materials. Something simple like cabochon rings or hairbows, you can get five for a dollar on taobao, so lolitas who are experienced in the fashion won't go for them. (Although lolitas just starting out probably will, so if you're planning to table at conventions, it can't hurt to make some cheap simple things, too.) Price isn't as much as a concern for lolitas, as long as the materials are high quality enough to justify it.

>>8721467

How durable/long lasting/quality would you say the bags are?

>>8720086
Thank you!

>>8721417
Dear lord I love this headpiece.

>>8721526
I bought mine a few years ago now, and it's still it great shape. The felt material is super thick and sturdy, the stitching is really nice, and it's still holding it's shape.
Mine is starting to fade a bit but I used to carry it everyday so that's not very surprising.

>>8721588

Thanks! I've bookmarked a few of those, they're just gorgeous. Good to know they're high quality.

>>8721454
I'm know I'm a slut for them, 4 bags that aren't shaped like bags and counting.....

Same here, I've been trying to hunt one down for a while but even on YJA/mbok most are either office collars or just the tips. Hoping IW will stock some soon!

>>8720782
The AB mannequin head is just so gorgeous!

>>8721862

>>8721865

>>8721417
Agreeing with everyone that detailed, unique and high quality are the key aspects.
Anyone and their mom can make fimo cakes, but I want either more well-constructed simple things that can be reworked into lots of outfits such as decent headbows, or elaborate things like scepters and bonnets.

>>8721871
That last pic was a bad example sorry, that glue on the ribbon is gross

>>8721875

For OTT Fruits Parlor maybe?

I don't wear lolita but I always want to handmake accessories like >>8721875 >>8721852 >>8721823 but my luck selling things is always garbage.

I've always felt like the Israeli designer Michal Negrin's pieces would work great with lolita.

>>8721773
Each to their own. Not OP, I agree those photos are crap, but I also love Tokimeki jewellery. Pic related.

>>8721903
Honestly, even those who are popular worldwide don't make a huge amount of bank outside if events because it's so labour intensive to make nice things. So few people make well executed stuff, 90% is garbage anyone can make themselves.
Can anyone rec anywhere for simple but nice headbows?

>>8721055
This would be hilarious to wear while cosplaying a character from Another

He did a collaboration with Enchantlic Enchantilly recently.

>>8719601
How do you wear this for summer? You just wear a normal shirt and layer below?

>>8722088
You can wear it over or under a JSK and under a bolero, that way it looks like you're wearing a blouse without actually wearing one while still having your shoulders covered. You definitely can wear it over shirts that have no collars, though.
Detachable collars are really underrated, they're so versatile!

I miss Suppurate System.

>>8722126

>>8722126
>>8722127

I know it's probably fake, but the rust and jagged edges make me so nervous.

>>8721773
Yeah I'm hardly aiming for photographer of the year here, what do you expect from taking and uploading pics on a mobile? The point was just to share the jewellery, if I could find stock pics of them I would have used them.
As for the items themselves, I think they're just super cute designs. And the violin clip isnt from tokimeki btw if anyone wondered, just a handmade thing I bought.

>>8719788
need source on this

>>8721854
>>8721871
I have a brooch by her, you can see the edges of the image cut wonky, and I don't think she cured the resin right cos I've had it for months but you touch the surface and the resin is still soft, it leaves fingerprints in the surface. Sure it was a freebie, but don't bother if they're just gonna make you look bad

>>8721863
This is stunning, I still desperately need that embroidered jsk and Cape that this matches

>>8720236
holy shit

>>8722151
That really sucks, but at the same time her way of advertising and talking about her self seems a bit obnoxious and so I'm not even surprised.

>>8721903
You shouldn't make lolita accessories without understanding the fashion first

>>8721826
I have those earrings and they are quite heavy to wear.

>>8721845

sorry Anon I know the maker has or had an Etsy shop but I couldn't find it.

>>8721902
I want to eat it?

>>8721076
>>8721092
You can microwave a coffee cup of water and place the ring in after it's out of the microwave (for obvious reasons) and then let it sit. After it's warm just try gently tugging it a little larger. I've done this with many of my AP rings as they only fit on my ring fingers and since I'm married I have one I can use.

>>8721092
>>8723346
Thank you both for the advice. I tried the hot water from the tap but that didn't work so I will be trying microwaving or boiling water and lettting it cool a bit, next.

>>8720034
Yooo....That's a super dope watch

>>8723414
Put on a towel around your hand, put the bow part in your hand and make sure ots wrapped in the towel BUT just have the ring part out in the air, use a blow dryer on the second highest setting from far away and heat up the ring. Bend it to shape while hot with the towel or if you can withstand it (not safe thouh), use your bare hands. Aftef you are done quickly take it to the sink and have very cold water run onit to cool and set the shape.

Open the ring little a time and repeat as neccesarry since its more risky to open it wider in one go and ruin the shape than in small sets.

>>8721510
>>8721871
Thank you all for the advice! My biggest fear about making lolita jewelry/accessories was that I'd sink a ton of money into nice materials only to have no one buy my stuff if it's priced higher. I need to get out of my comfort zone of super low price points anyway. This thread is a huge inspiration; I'm thinking of starting out with some marine/nautical pieces!

>>8721417
I'm pretty sure the girl who made this is a seagull. Hopefully she can answer your questions

>>8721417
Details, high quality materials. Study, and well-made.

Glass beads over cheap bargin bin plastic beads. Though cute plastic beads are great with sweeter themed pieces but you don't want to grab the craft store $2 bag and use those. You'll probably be ordering them online. I like items where the person put time into designing and creating them rather than just quickly throwing stuff together assembly line style.

When it comes to food themed jewelry, I like them when the person put time into making something realistic and appealing. Anyone can make a basic polymer clay ice cream or cookie, but it needs to have detail, care and good attention to design when adding it to something, be it a necklace or even just a ring. Little details can go a long way.

>>8722441
WHERE?! Please?

Anyone have links to some actually nice looking non-head-eating bonnets in black? All the ones I've found lately have been sweet colored.

>>8723706
Have you tried the surface spell one? It's a small stiff brimmed bonnet and comes in black and white. The feather and floral thing come with it but they're not attached.

>>8723706
>>8723719
I own this bonnet and it's really versatile! I just took the feather and the flower pin off. I think they were just included to make the stock picture more interesting.

>>8722422
>>8722409
Can I get a link for these please?

Anons, what are your favorite shops to buy accessories?
