I Heart Mistress Ava

So I set up a club scene. Sometimes I have to set up a scene for me to solidify what is happening in my doll lives, even if I don't make it into a photostory.

This scene was supposed to set up how Sooki met Johnny Tan, who is the hottest new resident of Grandville. Skater boy, goes to the local art school. His face is painfully realistic.

 Never thought I'd be a fan of molded hair, but he's got a cool style. PS: I've been meaning to talk to you about Sookie's eyelashes. I can barely get a shot of her, they're so thick and low hanging. I thought I already tried it with her, but I'm going to use boiling water to try to lift them a bit. If not, they're getting yanked.

But, you know you put the kids in a room together and all kinds of stuff starts happening. More on that in a minute.

Yesterday the set of handcuffs I ordered for Mistress Ava arrived, so I couldn't resist a picture of her with them. Bear in mind, this is something like Aragorn's dream sequence because Mistress Ava does not have handcuffs in her purse for Pete's sake. She keeps them in the car of course.

Anyway her beauty is distracting and I just took pic after pic of her. Then set up my DJ lights and did s'more!






I just love her face! She doesn't have a bad angle! But when her time comes, she's getting a new eye color. Brown? And maybe actual red lips. But otherwise she's perfection.

So then a little drama happened. You remember Mistress Ava and Sugar's flirtation?  Hmm, Sugar looks a little jealous here...

Also, as I look over these shots, she looks incredibly bored. This isn't her scene, even if I try to force it. We tried short edgy hair, but it was just a rest stop on her way to getting (dread) locks, so I'll be working on her soon.

This has run a bit long and I remembered that I didn't take a good picture of the other drama going on, so I'll continue that in a few days.

Remember I was supposed to work on Ms. Fear? In my defense, new hair and face paint has not yet arrived, but I did get her a coffee table. This is the one Smidgehouse had and painted to resemble wood. I'm soooo tempted to just paint it black and be done with it. After all, Ms. Fear's couch is black. But attempting simulated wood grain is on my list of assignments (I think). I'm trying not to look at the Smidgehouse blog because I will cry, knowing it's not likely to look like that! Well, gotta try! Can't get better without practice. *she says through her tears*

smooches!

  1. Wow, I love his head mold. I saw him at stinkerstuff.com for the first time. Great character. I think he'd make a hot item with Sooki. :)

  2. Yes! You can do it. It might not be 100% perfect the first time, but you CAN do it and it'll get better and better as you practice. :D

    Here. Watch this if you ever need a pep talk. XD

  3. I love me some Johnny Tan! I'm still working on finding him a body. He's so tan and his head is only being held on by that sticky gummy stuff that people use to hold up posters.

    Thanks Nat. I feel happy of myself!

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

 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 ...
