Okay, Okay a Photostory

This one is for you, Erica (Corset Kitten)!

This is the first photostory I ever did. It was about 6-7 years ago. I had just figured out how to set the date stamp on the camera but not yet how to remove it. I was living in New York, was massively reclusive had not yet discovered this world of 1/6th realism and hadn't even heard of Fashion Royalty. Oh and uh, I guess I was a bit of a man-hater... (you'll see)

It's cute and embarrassing to see the couch made of the Converse sneaker box, the room boxes made of cardboard boxes. I was and still am, a lover of the cheap and easy.

Okay still working on my little project but I couldn't resist this little diversion.

So click on the picture below to read the story:

    LMAO!
    Oh that's a hoot Dani! And way more cohesive than my first photostory! (here if you want to see how terrible it was....didn't even have thought bubbles!

    I loved it! Witches! I need some Charmed type witches in my doll world.

    Oh, to clarify, I JUST put those pics into Comic Life. They're old photos and I did the dialogue from memory. I started to do the bubbles in Photoshop back then and was quickly like "Screw THIS!"

    I miss having the time to do photostories but I really have to dedicate time to creating realistic sets.

    :D Heheh! That was the first story that launched me into the idea of doing the whole Quinlan Chronicles thing....(my, oh my....what a slippery slope that's turned out to be!)

    Yea, comic life is a million times easier than doing bubbles via PS (I tried that with my first QC episode and I swear I spent more time trying to get the bubbles to work out than actually taking photos or setting up scenes!)

    I hear you about the realistic sets, I really, really do! But keep at it and compromise where you have to along the way (better something than nothing at all IMO!) :D

    You are totally an inspiration when it comes to dolly realism. I mean, come on, it's too awesome! You've gotta be slightly mental, right? But yeah I don't want to slack on doing stories just because things aren't perfect. Nothing would ever get done...

    Bwahahaha!! I can't help but love Aragorn Ken... he's such a sleaze! That 'I'm 1/16th cherokee baby' line actually hurt me as I lol'd so hard!

Introducing Ayumi

By
I haven't been feeling particularly inspired with stories in Grandville, but their plastic lives are being led, with or without my story telling. And I have to practice my photography so instead I'm going to do a Cliff Notes if you will, of what has been going on in Grandville and who all these new characters are. First up, Ayumi. I might give her a new name at some point. I hate keeping the Integrity name but sometimes it just happens. She is a Korean supermodel who uses her funds to support her research as an astrophysicist. She got her Ph.D. at 18. This is Ayumi's house. Well, one of them. This is Ayumi's boyfriend of 10 months, Raj Nirvana. He's a yoga instructor. They have a harmonious relationship. Still, she wonders about that girl Marie. They seem to do a lot of talking after his yoga class. Ayumi loves hanging out with her girls. Nothing quite as fun as a day of shopping. Claire sighs, "How weird to have a bank account. ...

Introducing Nymeria and the Alurium Vaccarra

Ever have a couple of days off Facebook and though you wonder what happened to your friends over the long weekend, you can help feeling a little peaceful? That's how I feel in my week of staying off the blogs and forums and various sites. But I missed a lot! So many cool posts! It's going to take a while to dig myself out. One must wonder, did my creative spurt have something to do with not being all over the web looking at what everyone else is doing? Anyway let's get to it. So on my birthday, my three Stardolls arrived! Aside from the outfit, that Paris one was not cute. I dunno, she's too boring looking. But Iris was THRILLED that she got a new, dressed doll. Well for a few minutes anyway. Did you know that they can't bend their legs? Like they can't sit down? Terrible. Anyway, the other two were great! Inspiring. Meet Valentina. A Columbiana who restores classic cars. She was very happy with a Liv body. She might be Nadia's next girlfriend, w...

The Return of Vita Plastica

Hi guys, good to be back! Let's get to it, I have a lot to cover. Basement Studio Like I said, I've moved my workshop into the basement. Soon I'll move all my crafty stuff down there and have upstairs purely as a showroom. So here's my workshop so far. Sigh. A work in progress. Dry Brushing I heart dry brushing. It's easy, it dries fast and even when you do a major screw up, it looks awesome. I strongly recommend it for those heavy of hand and prone to mistakes like me. I had one of these Barbie vanities. Was it a My Scene? The one that came with the leopard skin seat. It was originally peach I believe.  I painted it brown and it was serviceable but the model paint began to chip over the years, so I dry brushed it. Behold: It came out so well, I couldn't stop there. My next victim was the dining set I got in trade with Cat from Doll Affinity . I think this will go into Josephine's blue room. I forgot to take a picture, but you'll see ...
