Big Weekend!

Happy 4th, you guys. I took an extra day off so I had four sweet days off, one of which was child-free thanks to good old grandma!

WARNING, PLASTIC NUDITY!

Friday brought me a massive haul. A new body, a new head (who fits none of my bodies, sigh). Also, I have an awesome doll buddy. We do doll trades. I send her old bods and she sends me very cool fun accessories. Look what I got:

Sweet haul. Ms. Fear's Mom is digging the Chinese pajamas. Well, she's not going to let YOU know that.

I can't wait to play with the other things. I can't wait to paint that bar and use it in one of my doll homes. I'm already using the stools.

Here's what else I was up to:

Felix got a new body!

Dani is very happy. She finally gets to bump plastics with her fiance.
I installed the kitchen shelving which are Barbie laundry room shelves turned sideways. Man, I need to brush that girl's hair.

I added some art to the walls of the studio. I'm working on the back walls for these rooms. This one will have a giant warehouse-type window. The Hubs did that little illustration in high school.


The reroot is going pretty well, if not incredibly slow. You think 20 plugs will get your somewhere but it sure doesn't feel like it.



It turns out Hana's bangs are not so mangled after all. She just needed loads of boiling water, a wee trim and a few days looking like she's sweatin' to the oldies! She'll be back to stealing your boyfriends in no time!



Best part: began to gather materials for my fairy tale. I had them in a pile, but putting them up like this is way more inspiring. Uh, no there won't be cocktail umbrellas in the story. Interesting story. See that mirror on the wall behind the cottage to be? I got it at a yard sale. It's like a black mirror, a wanna be antique. I hope I can use it in the story. Very spooky.



















And on a final note, at my sister's 40th birthday celebration dinner, I found Dani's bridal shower 'gag' gift. Oh my god, no pun intended! haha






smooches,
dani

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

By
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 ...
