Remi and Bailey's New Place

Okay it's not finished, but I couldn't resist sharing. Here I am thinking of buying and customizing bookshelves when I could just buy foam core and make homes!




I'm not finished yet. I have to scruff up the "concrete" floor, find the missing black piece for my staircase, or maybe use a ladder staircase. I'll add some railing to the top floor, and I'm thinking of making a piece for the front that folds out so you can close it up and it will have a front door and windows.

Also, there is an additional room, a studio for both of them. He's a graffiti artist and she's a keyboardist. So some things may shift around.
 
Oh guys, I caved in and took down Tallulah's hair. It looks pretty good. I didn't have to do any trimming or anything. I dunno what is up with this picture. She doesn't have strange triangles on her eyes...You'll have better pictures soon. She's up for a photostory!


 And here is the happy couple enjoying a family moment. Can't we get rid of Veronica (Julian's mom)? It would be so easy if she wasn't around. Ah, such is life. Maybe you'd see a custody battle in their future.

I'm going to try to get this loft finished this weekend, so I hope to show you more soon!!

smooches,
dani

    I love their studio! Tallulah looks beautiful with her hair down, and I can't wait to see her photostory.

    Love the new home! Hope to see if finished soon. Where have you been? We've only been using foamcore for a few years now.

      You have read this blog before, right? You'll notice I've been using foam core as well, but only to build rooms, not a whole home.

      Well the kiddies are sick but I'm hoping to get at least some of the basic construction done tonight. I'm sort of glad True Blood is over so I can get some work done on Sunday nights!

      Thanks Sergio. The stairs come from a My Scene playset. Here Em'lia took these stairs and filled in the cracks with plaster. I'd like to do this. Give it a more realistic feel...http://emiliacouture.blogspot.com/2008/07/spiral-staircase.html

    This looks great Dani, and what a fabulous idea! I've been thinking about those storage shelves but my little one is getting way too curious about my toys, so this idea I may have to use for the high shelf in my closet. It's tall enough to make this design and get multiple condos made. Hmm...great idea and way more affordable. :)

    Bailey and Remi are an adorable couple! Julian fits right in with them, too cute. Tallulah's hair looks beautiful. Can't wait to see her story...

      The best part is the ability to take it apart or add to it, rearrange it, etc. I want to have permanent homes, but changing it up is always fun! Oooh, the potential for the rest of my folks!

    Great job Dani! It looks really good. I can't wait for you to finish it. I regret not purchasing the My Scene Masquerade set. The cost is phenomenal nowadays.

      Thanks Georgia Girl! I wish I knew the treasure I had when I had it too. I let several pieces go, including that window. Grr!

    Love this idea and cant wait to see how your progression goes. LOL, too bad Veronica is about to get the boot, but sacrifices must be made for the sake of drama.

      Thanks Muff. You were really inspiring with your house. Part two of the project will include a little exterior area...

New Goodies!

But first, some news: Projects: Still working on the studio space for Remi and Bailey. The Hubs came in and voiced what was in my head, "So where is that kid supposed to sleep? That's messed up. There's no room for him?"  The last thing I wanted in Grandville is a kid's room. I don't want this rated R world changing into something wholesome. Buuut, if there is to be a custody battle for Julian, I have to make the case, right? So on top of the studio space, I'll build a little room for the brat to use. Maybe I'll give it a fun theme or something. Space or sci-fi or something that doesn't involve sports. I'm also working on a space backdrop for Nymeria and her sister. Then I can finally introduce you. I decided to go with a sort of cheesy 60's sci fi movie thing. That's what inspired the Alurium Vaccarra anyway. So, a sort of intentionally cartoony backdrop. The last project for now is my high school. I wanted it to be a three-...

[in that spongebob narrator voice] Ten Years Later

By
 Well friends, it's been 10 years!  I'm not sure if any of my older friends and followers still blog or still read blogs.  I've been in the BJD hobby all this time a while it was satisfying and helped me to grow a lot as a dioramist, the call of the 1/6 scale dolls called back to me.   It was hard to make stories for BJDs because of the limited number of characters and sets.  While I no longer have a town to make stories with, nor (hardly) any of my original dolls, my new collection continues to grow and some of them are just itching to tell you all about themselves.  But these heauxs don't even have names except for two.  So lemme get on that... Returning to this hobby feels a bit lonely. My doll community was here in the blogosphere, my BJD community was through youtube and Facebook. Where are you, racy playscale collectors?  Let's get back together!  Instagram feels unsuitable for my needs. I'll see if I can direct traffic here. Who k...

The Giveaway! And more.

You guys, let's talk. After I set up Grandville in the new house, I was sort of bored. I liked getting everyone unpacked but I really didn't feel like telling my stories, posing dolls, finding outfits for them. I didn't know where to take this doll thing next. And since my doll break at the end of last year, I've filled up my evenings with other things, especially Facebook where I remember I'm a writer again (in short blurbs). But what I don't feel like writing, are doll stories. I was at this doll crossroads, and already donating and trading away some good stuff when I became suddenly, surprisingly aware that I was (am) pregnant! How did this happen? Well I have a few ideas. I'm 37, I had been debating whether to have another. Sometimes, I swear, I'd be sitting with the girls and think I'm hearing a 3rd kid crying in the background. So that choice was made for me I'm very happy about it (and terrified). And the choice about dolls was made ...
