The Alurium Vaccarra 2.0

As much fun as I had creating the Alurium Vaccarra, I was really unsatisfied with it. Poster board covered in contact paper does not make a sturdy ship. It sat in the doll room closet with it's equally ignored friend, the lighthouse.

So when I saw this piece of Styrofoam at work, I was inspired and set to work. It was a nice quick project since I didn't alter it too much and already had the little props together.
 





"Zzzzzz."




"Oh, hello there humans, I didn't hear you come in. Welcome to my new ship. It's much more aerodynamic."


"I'm sure you remember the Stone of Amaranth. Aboard the AV2, she's given a place of honor at the front of the ship. She now powers, navigates and pilots the ship. The wire headpiece that I used to wear is how she communicates with the AV2."

"The development of the Stone's power will make the stakes even higher when my flesh human deems me worthy to tell my photostory."

"Would you like a cup of glorflock wine? Never had it? You don't know what you're missing. The fermented bones and shells of insects is a delicacy on my planet."


"As before, here is my panel. It is a back up control. Here I can also work in tandem with the Stone of Amaranth."

 "This is where I keep my treasures from my many travels."

"I just love reality TV."
 

"You may remember the control board for my comfort and nourishment."

"That's all for now, humans. Stay tuned to meet my sister. She'll be traveling with me on a special mission. She's very fragile so be nice to her. Or you'll have me to deal with."

 WOOOOOSH!

 Live long and prosper, folks.

smooches,
dani

  1. Double Gah! It's so adorable and out of this world (excuse my bad pun)! I can't wait to meet her sister.

  3. Cool alien and her spaceship! Did you spray paint the Alurium Vaccarra 2 gray? Interesting thought. I wasn't aware that styrofoam could be painted. Thanks for the tip about it NOT working well with Elmer's glue. (I have a styrofoam rectangle I was thinking could become either a bed base or a sofa base.) I love how you used this piece as the ship's outline - that's a different take. At first, I thought you were going to use it vertically. Love the "flames" coming out the back, too.

    I look forward to meeting her sister. But I will pass on the glorflock wine ;-)

    1. You might be psychic D7ana because I never said that Elmer's glue didn't work with it, but it DIDN'T! It was just a mess. Hot glue worked though. I didn't spray paint it. Oh how I wanted to. I just made a gray out of some cheap black and white acrylic paints, watered it down a lot and just slapped it on.

      My husband is a bit of a scifi geek so I was inspired by the sort of space cowboy vehicles like The Millennium Falcon and Serenity or even the ship in Spaceballs. I want her and her sister to just be rollin' round the galaxy.

  4. Awesome new ship! I loved the last one, too, though. This one is way cooler. She is probably my favorite character in your town.

    1. I really need to give her and her sister a story or at least little quickies like this one. I can't wait to borrow the Hubs' alien action figures!

  5. So, so creative! I keep hoarding the styro chunks I find but so far they are just sitting in a box languishing away. I shall get to them one day, but I fear that is a day far far away...

Grandville Summer Festival!

Hello doll friends, First up, I gotta show you this. My 4 year old was playing with my Barbie cast-offs and set up this little scene. (That yellow thing on the table is a TV shaped eraser.) Dig the lamp she made with a wedding cake and the pole from maybe a Barbie dress form? Adorbs. Anyway, this weather (raining pretty much daily for the last month or so) has wrecked my spray painting plans. Much of the royal storyline rests on this painting project. So for now I decided to continue the other stories I have going. Enjoy: "Ho-ly crap, what on earth are you wearing?" "Aw, Sook, I feel bad enough."   "Seriously. You are wearing khakis. You look cray cray. You're like somebody's mom right now. Please explain this situation." "My boss said my outfit was too sexy so I had to borrow something from Le Skater Dork over there at the cafe. Jeez, now I owe her one. Oh crap Channel 1 News is here."   "Thanks John. Lavita

Zee Gypsies!

I'm home today, the kids are at school (half day), so I decided to take some pictures with my little window of time. I rarely show the gypsies and one of you guys requested it, so here they are! "Hello, I am Carmen Kirpachi. Welcome to our home." "This is my husband Milosh." "Hallo."  "This is my brother, Franco. While his gaje girlfriend Josephine is in Paris, he's spending a lot more time with us." "Excuse me, I have to put some more wood in the stove so I can get dinner started." "My goat stew is Milosh's favorite but we need to get the pot hot first." "This is my living area, also known as Franco's bedroom. But we don't mind. The Romany love having family around." "Milosh says I drive like a fugitive so he doesn't let me drive very often." "But sometimes I put a glamour on him and he forgets how much he hates my driving." "

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
