Meet the Sister

By
I was packing up when I realized you hadn't met the sister yet.

But first for a bit of their folklore. Their home planet, as yet unnamed, is divided by humanoids that live on land and those that live at sea. Nymeria takes after her nymph mother and Sister like their earthy father.

[Sister is a Frankie Stein doll and her hair is flocked with caraway seeds. She wears Jack Sparrow's bandana as a top and another piece of it on the waistband of her Barbie Galadriel dress sleeve. Yes I cut it a long time ago and I'm an idiot. I didn't get a good shot of the skirt at all. It's got a nice hip hugging fit when she stands.]

The people of this planet have guarded the Stone of Amaranth for eons. Every lifetime, two females are chosen. One to communicate with the Stone and one to guard her. The one who communicates with the Stone drops her name forever and is only known as Sister.

For the first time in hundreds of generations, the pair are sisters. And for the first time ever, a Sister is blind. It is said this is why she has more power and connection to the Stone than any other Sister in history.

"Well here she is folks, my big sister. Isn't she pretty? Remember what I said about being nice to her."



 "The Stone and I are one."


"I told you she was delicate. You see, the Stone knows everything. All that was and will be, all over the universe. So if you had it inside your head you'd be a little loopy too."

"I'm blind, not deaf you twerp."

 


 "Anyway, we've just landed here on Earth. I'm not sure why we're here. Waiting for some intel from the Stone. Isn't that cute? I sound like one of you now."

"Nymeria, I'm getting something. Oh no."
 

"Nym, help me to the ship. Terrible news."


"Nymeria, the Stone must stay here on Earth. Powerful forces seek to destroy it and us with it. We must find something called a 'gypsy'."


Okay consider that a prologue for that fairy tale I was supposed to be working on like a year ago.

Miss you guys!

smooches,
dani

    At least they've come to the right dolly-universe to find a gypsy ;-D

    Looking forward to reading what message the gypsy will have for them.

    The Sister looks so interesting! Do you know, what you've managed to do with your base MH dolls?
    You've managed to make them break out of the cookie-cutter mold that most of them are in AND make me look at them not as MH dolls but as believable creatures of another kind. I really, really like that. And I love the caraway seed hair! :D

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 ...
