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 ;-)

    Love Ayumi's place. I need to make it to Ikea to get a couple of these.

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. ...

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...

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-...
