Mother Talzin

I love movies and books that create super detailed fictional worlds, but I've never been into Star Wars. It's such a GUY thing. Like the Lord of the Rings books. Snore. Princess Leia wasn't all that interesting to me and Padme is fine but neither one really kick butt. I've seen all six films at least 2-3 times and fall asleep every time. 

I have to admit the Clone Wars animated movie/tv show is better. You get so into the beautiful art and meeting an Anakin that is flawed and round that you could really see him turning into Darth Vader. And finally, awesome females.

But I still wasn't interested until Asajj Ventress. She's a Sith-ette and a formidable opponent.



Humor me, I'm getting to my point.

She's from a female dominant planet of witches (SOLD!) who keep men on the other side of the planet as chattle. (Darth Maul was of this race of men.) I told the Hubs I needed an Monster High doll to make her into Ventress and he had secretly already gotten me one for our anniversary! Ventress is more of a gray color but I thought she would work.

 But you know, Ventress is bald. I thought of compensating by doing her up in her ninja outfit:



And she has many many variations in costume and design.

But then I met the high priestess of the Night Sisters



And she talks like a gypsy.

I still want to make a Ventress, but I really want to make this one. Hmm, now how I'll make the costume, I do not know!

Oh and scored some stuff at the dollar store:

I plan on building a school. When? I dunno, maybe 2013? And the candle holder will be a fountain or maybe will hold up a statue. Either way, it's for Grandville park.

Then that poster will be the background for the lighthouse. Maybe that will inspire me to make a beach...

I passed up some fake dog puke but I might go back for it. Hey, with burn-outs like my dolls, there's bound to be an incident or two.

And no I haven't even looked at the bridal shower shots. Sigh.

smooches,
dani

    Well I'm tuned it to see how your Mother Talzin turns out. I've always been intrigued by the far-out minded people. I'm sure you are going to come up with something great!

    Thanks Vanessa. I guess when she's done she'll be donated to the Hubs and his Star Wars toy collection. I have no time for dolls that are just around for display! This should be fun!

    And hey, I need a distraction from all the stuff I'm SUPPOSED to be doing!

    Well if you need a grayer body the Skull Shores Frankie is gray. I'm intrigued by what you will do. I loved the LOTR & Star Wars (the early ones..I was a kid). But I take no offense :O)

    Well I definitely need a bald one for Ventress. I think that Build a Monster thing they have will be good. I can find a gray there, but Ventress is also sort of purple and greenish from certain angles. You won't see much of Mother Talzin's skin. She kind of looks like she's wearing some white powder so I'm hoping that will work..

    I did a "rough draft" and it was not cute!! I have some work to do!

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 ...
