Alright so this time was a little bit better. I learned to use the regulator so the air pressure wasn't quite so bad. I also played around a little with her ears for a future face up on Fray (I'd really like the tips of his ears to be black). So without further ado, here's [...]

New Crew for 2016!
I kinda figured it would only be a matter of time, but I didn't think I'd find new dolls so early in the year. These will probably be my last editions for a long time since they dropped so close to each other and it's going to take my wallet awhile to recover from this. [...]
If at first you don’t succeed…
I wasn't going to post this at first, but the more I think about it, the more I feel it might be important to. So... Here was my first attempt at airbrushing. I've learned a few things from this experience: You can't cut acrylic airbrush paint with water. Probably shouldn't use acrylic paint right now [...]
Tidbits on Airbrushing Faceups.
IT'S 2016! YAY! Here's one of my new years resolutions: become acquainted with this tool- Instead of asking for a new doll or video game this year, I figured it was about time to step up my faceup game. I'd been thinking about investing in an airbrush for awhile, but I knew little to nothing [...]
Labor of Love = Complete (Lou, 1 shot)
This is the first time I've actually put so much thought and effort into one doll. Lou, full name Loucious Cedrick Ferre, is one of my favorite characters. Yes, Beetlejuice was an inspiration. I won't even deny that. That's not all he is, however. He's got one of the most fleshed out backstories of any [...]
Lou is (very close to) Complete! (IoS Chaos w/new 70cm body)
(I may have posted this more than a month ago on DoA and forgot to post it here. I'm getting married the first week of next month so my head isn't quite screwed on right at the moment, haha.) I was so excited when I managed to get my hands on a Chaos head during [...]
Open Cage – Merriwether (SOOM Amber) & Balthazar (SOOM Chrom)
Oh, my talking bird Though you know so few words They're on infinite repeat Like your brain can't keep up with your beak. And you're kept in an open cage So you're free to leave or stay. Sometimes you get confused Like there's a hint I am trying to give you. The longer you think, [...]
A Caged Pixie (Piyoko – Bobobie Pixie)
I hate hearing people call a sculpt or company cheap, trashy, or downright ugly. Though I will admit that sometimes the less expensive sculpts have their own issues to deal with, the saying "a bad carpenter blames his tools" comes to mind. We heard it a lot in photography classes, because you'd always have that [...]
Immortality of Soul FINALLY brought 70cm bodies back! (Plus other news)
It's been a long time coming. OVER A YEAR after they started talking about sculpting a new 70cm body, it's finally here! And it appears to have been worth the wait. Oh la la! Flashing back to late May/early June 2014, IoS made an announcement that they were discontinuing all their sculpts and once the [...]
New doll forum! Dollaholics: The BJD collector’s Facebook.
So I'm pretty stoked about this. I've been a member of DoA since I got into the hobby, and while it's great for what it is, the forum is fairly restricting and tightly strung. I've wanted something casual for a long time, and it looked like most of the other more laid back forums had [...]
