7-14-07 Hard Rock


_What's new? Hard Rock 2007. She had glitter on her lips and upper brows. I repainted the lips, added color to her cheeks and scraped off as much of the glitter as I could. Her hair needed a bit of taming as well. I'm searching for a QotH Natalia body for her. I like her face now.

So much fighting going on at the W Club Board. People feel they must tell others how to behave. Ugh.

I have poison ivy on the ring finger of my right hand! So annoying these little itchy bumps are.


I got a haircut today. Drastic change! It's short. It's good.
Gotta go to sleep now or just get in to bed and rest. Traveling to Long Island is tiring and the traffic was horrible.

6-25-07 Ellowyne, Diorama

I sold Ellowyne Red, White and Very Blue so I could buy "Nevermore." RW&VB was too modern for the other two Ellowynes I have. I want to keep her dressed in lacy, old fashioned styles that fit with her story line. There are people making clothes for her as if she were just an ordinary doll. I can't see it. The only one making suitable items for this doll is Tallulah!



This image is from the Wilde website. I ordered her last night.
I'm waiting on many items. One of them is the Clea Bella set. That's going to be very interesting and a big help in taking pictures within a room setting.
Speaking of room settings. I have set up a wonderful diorama of a living room/office in my studio. Here are some fun pics of that.









I love the couch and the desk and all the details. I need curtains for the windows.

Saturday is the Tonner sale. I'm trying to psych myself up for it. All I hope to find are Ellowyne items but you never know. It's a good opportunity to buy stuff to resell.

6-22-07 Ellowyne



Hey, it's only a month since the last entry. It could have been worse.

Lots of new dollies have arrived on the scene, notably three Ellowynes. I know, I swore I wasn't going to buy any more 16" dolls but this one got to me big time. She is really cute and I love her outfits. More than that, story line about being interminably bored endeared her to me. Here are my three girls.












5-23-07 Spectacular Eugenia, Aren and Ayla


Once again, I have gone for weeks without an entry. I'm just not a blogger. But now with so many new dolls having arrived, I must post.

The latest is Eugenia Spectacular Fashion Royalty. This was an overpriced but gorgeous doll. The sculpt is Wu's finest so far. Her hair is even soft and combable!




I'm going to sell her gown which is less than stellar compared to his original of which this was supposed to be a replica. I don't think so. The drape of the skirt is ridiculous. It's all pouffy compared to heavy and flat. Oh well. She is beautiful.

And.....sound the horns.....Tan Aren arrived. At first I was shocked. She looked so different from natural skin Aren. Her nose looked pointy and her lips were tiny. But as I dressed her and put her side by side with the first Aren, she started to look more beautiful. I love her. The color of her resin makes so much difference. Now light Aren looks sickly. Oy.











5-01-07 Aren


This is a picture of Aren - Perfect Fusion. I need this doll. Of course it has been sold out for a while but I got an email from Soom saying they will be produced again next month and they will contact me. Who knew I would love Aren so much that I would want another? I have searched many, many BJD sites and still cannot find another 12" or so doll to love. If I ever decide to go bigger, Soom has several choices as well. But I don't want to go there--too big and I don't have any clothes for a big doll.



I signed up for the Wu Convention on Sunday and booked our hotel room as well. We're going to Pittsburgh on Tuesday and the Convention starts on Thursday. That way we have an entire day to explore the city. Neither of us has ever been there. I just checked out the Warhol Museum website and it is cool. I'm looking forward to that museum.



Also on my mind are the two articles I'm about to do. Ideas are coming but I do need to build the backdrop. That will make everything easier.
