Jams!

So, this photo is proof of my obsession with Volks Michele. XD
And if this isn't enough, I'm waiting on another one that sushi_candy helped me win in the VolksUSA lottery.
(ohehgee - Michele triplets!)

The brunette is Ever, a SD10 girl Michele that I just picked up from the post office today that I won via the Volks International AE. And the blondie is Chapel, a Volks one-off Michele on a SD13 boy body that I won on Y!J some time ago.

Please click on the photo to go to DoA and find out more about these two! /pimps

 

So, with regards to this post, I'm now happy to unveil one of the dolls that I'd previously mentioned about.

Dear f-list, please meet Fiction.



She's a Volks SD10 Nono, who was a somewhat unplanned purchase? =A=;;

I wasn't a fan of the sculpt, until I saw a custom one that I fell in love hard with, so when this head came up at a reasonable price, I decided, why not? >w<

Faceup was done rather quickly last Friday (in time to bring her along with me to Animania in Sydney the same weekend), but I'm pleased with it for the moment. She still needs a better wig though. I do like this one, but I would prefer one with a blunt fringe. And yeah, would you believe it? I couldn't find a suitable one in my hoard of 4 boxes of wigs. Pah.

Anyhoos, for those of you on DoA, please be giving her some love there? ;3;
 

 I finally got off my bum and posted new doll photos on the interweb! /pats self on back

Here's one:



The rest can be found on DoA. 
Give Poeme some love there? ;3;
 

Home baked pineapple cake with coconut icing.

I baked this cake a while ago to celebrate being employed again. Yay!
Working 3 days a week now and it suits me just fine; I work Tues-Thu, so hello, long weekends! ^_^

Haven't been posting on LJ in forever since starting this new job's gotten me pretty frazzled with new things to learn, but I do keep up with my f-list religiously though!! ♥

Realised I haven't pimped out any of the recent faceup commissions I did, plus I'm lacking in actual interesting content to post, so without further ado, here's some eye candy:

Yeah, weird shite, hey?
I just realised that even though I started out in the dolly hobby with these big headed/big eyed dolls, I haven't really mentioned them much here on eljay. XD

Anyways! I'm back in Melbourne at the moment for the next week or so, and the reason I'm here is because there's a Blythe exhibition opening this Friday at Robio, and I've got 2 photo prints that will be on display and sale then - thusly the mention. /pimp

It was fun to shoot a non-resin doll for a change - I remember how I used to photograph these girls almost daily, but that sort of waned when bjds and their awesome posing abilities came along. But Blythe's got that quirky charm though. <3

The shot above isn't one that's going to be in the exhibition - it's an outtake, but I love how she looks like she could be a model for Helmut Lang. X3

Soo, if any of you guys are going to be in Melbourne this Friday, do drop by Robio at 6pm for the opening of the exhibition - there'll be custom dolls, clothes, accessories, photo/artwork on display (and some of which are for sale). There's also going to be a door prize from Gina Garan (photographer who popularised Blythe)! The exhibition will be on for a week, but I'll be there only on Friday night with Kenn (Blythe in photo above) and Jelly (my YoTenshi Yuh). ;D

Have been busy with commissions lately, which is mostly fun, but can sometimes cause me to want to headdesk badly.

Photo is of a Pukipuki Lily that I'd recently finished for a local client; my first Puki! Go me! My breath-holding skills (while painting) has now been immensly improved with this faceup, freckles and all. XD

It's times like these that I want a Puki Madeleine. Or Lati White Belle. Or a Pocket Fairy Kitty. Or an adorable, but complete useless Rei-Tenshi. >.>

I had kangaroo for dinner tonight. The boy overcooked it. *sigh*

Cookie came to visit today (that's the kookaburra that frequently visits our backyard). I know the neighbour hand feeds it sometimes; makes me want to find some stuff to feed it too. -__-;;

By 9pm next Tuesday, I shall be back in Melbourne again!!! q(^_^)p
Am going to be back there for 10 days; partly for the Blythe exhibition that Robio's holding (and of which I'm going to have a few Blythe prints in, time permitting), and partly to catch up with friends and family again. I've missed them. ;3;

Bed tiemz nao. zzzzzzz.
 

 

Just realised I haven't posted a photo of any of my own dolls in MONTHS. *facepalms*

So yeah, here. Have one of Poeme impersonating the Easter Bunny:



Went for my first doll meet (in Sydney!) since moving to NSW yesterday.
T'was awesome to see so many dolls and meet lots of lovely new faces!
Not sure if it'll help get me back into photographing my dolls since I still feel pretty much in a rut with that aspect, but it was good fun anyway to play dollies again.
