12-11-06 Traveler by Nature Re-Root

Is this amazing or what? Erica did the microbraids. It's hard to believe that this is the same doll called Traveler by Nature! She is my new favorite Veronique.

11-29-06 Messing with Dolls

Good dolly day today. I flocked two of the Pompadours that have been waiting for hair. I worked on their lips, too. And I used the modeling material to fill in one of bucky's smiles. (Monsieur Z doll) This will be a test subject. I worked on her eyes and enhanced them as well. Then I painted the lips. I don't have a picture yet. The hole in Erin's nose is now filled in as well. The collection needs lots of work but I'm afraid that I will ruin something so I will just stick to fixing up the less valuable dolls.
The boards have been a little slow this past week. Or perhaps I am looking for too much. Spending too much time at the computer has been a problem for a long time. The time I spent in my studio painting and crafting was very pleasant, indeed. No computer, no television. I do need magnifying eyeglasses. My regular glasses are not strong enough for fine work.

11-25-06 Body Change Chaos

I have had to redress and rearrange about 60% of my collection. I packed away several Silkstones which I don't want out any longer and I am selling some I didn't think I would sell. The new bodies have caused a rift in my collection. I cannot display them in the same case. I have 3 more tall bodies on the way and then I will stop switching. I have left the really special dolls untouched such as Cosmetic Takeover Natalia, Silver Society and Midnight in Monaco.

For several weeks it felt extremely disorganized and I didn't like the feeling. I like to find the perfect outfit for each doll (which changes occasionally) and set her up like that. This was a hodge podge because so many dolls came in so fast. Today I received two wigs from my dealer that I didn't want. Actually one was canceled and the other I never ordered. I'm going to keep them, however. This is not the first time she has sent me something I didn't want. The last time it was a doll but I sold it right away. I just hope my Miami order goes through properly.

The following is a personal message to Madame DeFarge: Thanks. Your actions reminded me that a web log is not a personal journal and that this is a very small world.

11-21-06 Traveler by Nature I

I have been wrapping and shipping all day long. Just one more package for the DD swap to go. I actually painted a trio of pieces for the diorama exchange! They look cool. The shipping for some of the things is pretty high. I will consider that the next time I choose swap items. I am way over the suggested gift amount by about 50%
The attached picture is of my second reroot. She was a Traveler By Nature Veronique. The hair needs styling, for sure.
Busy, busy, busy...with new dolls and clothes. I managed to trade or buy lots of taller bodies. I'm wondering if I can attach more than one picture to this entry. I think not.
