... (more than) a month later. YEAH, SO. It's hard to believe a month has passed since I flew to Canada. I really should've done this sooner but metaphorical poop hit the fan and sort of left me drained, to say the least. Biggest thing: I had a blast! It was so cool to be [...]
Something I always try to do when I get back into doll crafts is do a practice run before I get serious. While I do have a practice head, my first doll looked like she could use some attention. The last faceup I gave her in '05 wasn't bad, but it could be better. Kinda [...]
With winter's end there's always a new spring of inspiration in me to do more 'productive' things in my hobby. I say productive like that because of course it's a hobby and I should be more concerned with enjoying myself than anything, but the most enjoyment I get is usually seeing improvement in my [...]
So I put in my first order of MSC this year. ALSO some ZM finishing powder which I have been dying to try. That should be coming in on Friday, and I'm actually pretty stoked about it, but that'll be a different post. Regardless of whether I'm active in the hobby or not, dolls are [...]
So it's hard coming back to this realizing there's been more than a 6 month gap in my last posting. Certainly not the first time it's happened, but still a bit jarring. I hadn't realized I'd been on such a long hiatus. There's not much to explain, as far as that goes. Money got tight, [...]
I maaaaaaaay or may not have taken these pictures almost a month ago, but it's about time I finally showed the difference between standard and small iris eyes. Atticus has a much more intense look with smaller iris's, which I didn' care much for at first, but the more I look at him the more [...]
So, some, if not most of us know the pain of needing specialty items for our dolls, and sometimes finding those items isn't easy. I'd gone looking for some small iris eyes for my upcoming doll, Serenade Doll Suu. While I was at it I figured I'd try a pair for my Dollshe Saint as [...]
Well, he's finally done. Well, besides the lashes and new eyes that haven't arrived yet, he's done. I'm hoping the eyelashes really bring him together, because there are a few little odds and ends that sort of irk me, but not enough to dive in and redo his faceup just yet. A comparison picture: I [...]
AN OLD NEMESIS RETURNS... WILL OUR HEROINE TRIUMPH OR TASTE THE COLD SOUP OF DEFEAT?! TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO FIND OUT... In all seriousness, this is Atticus. Atticus is my DS18M Dollshe Saint. I love Atticus, but he is by far my biggest problem child. He's impossible to shop for, near impossible to restring [...]
I logged into my blog yesterday and found a comment from Ide of Cups of Resin, who nominated me for a Liebster award! Thank you so much!! I had no idea what that was, but after snooping on Google, I found out it's a nomination bloggers give other bloggers to spread the word to people [...]
