Back with a Vengeance!

Sometimes I get bummed out when I see doll folks doing stuff I'm doing or what I've talked about doing. But I've come to realize that whether they are better than me or a pale imitation, whether they are intentionally copy-catting or just part of the collective consciousness, my voice in the doll world is unique. And me being absent leaves a void that some usurper is going to fill. Without me, where would your dolls know where to get the good drugs and whores? (hee)

So I'm back basically. I'm working on a real post with the projects I've been working on, so sit tight. This weekend I'll post something.

Fun News:

  • The Hubs and I are sharing a studio space now, so lots of space for noise and chemicals. YAY! 
  • Two Barbies are on their way!
  • I have a stay-cation coming up so I might finally have time to work on the photostories surrounding the wedding. Stay tuned! 
  • The website is being updated: www.vitaplastica.com  It's basically changing every day until I am happy with it.
Missed you!
Dani

  2. Thanks Verona! Oh man, Hanna has one devil of a story line coming up. What are we going to do with her? I'm sorry I'm not following your blog. I am going to remedy that immediately!

  3. I can't wait to see! Admittedly, I don't always comment, but I have read every single one ever since I became a follower! I've always loved how you had whole families of dolls... and they're organized that way.... I don't know why, but with my guys it just doesn't seem likely to happen (unless they start making parents for all these unruly kids...) So I LOVE seeing yours set up like that.

    1. Wow, thanks Heather! I am a lurker too. I wish this place had "Like" buttons. It means a lot when a lurker makes a comment like this. Thank you so much!

  6. Wow, I really should have put money down on my last comment on your blog. I could have started a whole "pool" to have people guess how long it would take before you returned. Sorry that's the business, money-making me talking. Glad to see you are coming back to us!

Introducing Ayumi

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 ...
