New Year's Photo Dump!

Happy New Year my friends! Hope you're all recovering well.

I'm not officially restarting this blog for a couple of weeks but I need to publish the shots I've been taking with my new camera so they don't just take up space on the hard drive. They are an improvement to be sure, but I'm still learning (slowly and reluctantly).

First up, in Zolandia, the royal family has a lesser noble over for tea and cards. I've been obsessed with the historically creative CW show, Reign. Mary Queen of Scots and her ladies in waiting? Love. Dani is currently reviewing some lady in waiting options. JLo is among them.

So a few posts ago, I talked about the A frame cottage. The Ikea furniture did a world of good. [If you're a Facebook follower, you've seen this already.]


 I cut up an existing foamcore dio and gave the old girl some walls.

 The back side now has foam core walls too. 

To paraphrase Woody Allen, How to Make dolls laugh: tell them your future plans for them. Ayumi moved right the hell into this house and all my plans went out the window.



 "Don't mind the pile of bodies outside. The maid's day off."

Now on the back wall here is the white Expedit shelf on its side instead of the black chair.




Ayumi and the gals (Tipsey, Clair and Hanna) chillin. Now there are two of these couches back to back. More room for party guests.


Hanna looking all awkward among her new friends. I wonder if she would loosen up if she knew Tipsey set her art studio on fire?
  

Okay folks, that's it for now. I'll take some pics of what I've been working on while in hiatus. See you soon!

    Happy New Year, Dani! Nothing says home more than bodies piled outside a setting. Nothing.

    See you when you return ;-)

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

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 ...
