A Meet-Up Tomorrow

Image
I am bringing 5 dolls and it took me ALL DAY to locate shoes, wigs and jewelry that was presentable for these guys. I need to start drawing names out of a hat and each week make one complete outfit for each doll, so that if they have a chance for an outing, they have something to wear..both tops AND pants. I never did find Rusty the Vampire's cravat, though it has been floating around on table tops for weeks. Up there is Isley, named after Poison Ivy. She always has good shoes, though I just today realized that they don't zip all the way up her calves 0.o After this photo I found shoes and a witch's hat for Cherry, though she still looks a little chilly to me. Rusty, saying "Who needs a cravat anyway? Blaa." This girl needs her own clothes--she got the cast-off tights I made for Naomi and decided they weren't good enough, a skirt that belongs to Tanglewyn, and a corset owned by Cecelia, who is a Granado Nuevo and has a similar wide shoulder. Cor...

Dragael, a 5 star Angelo painted by cheesedemon88 , is wearing her new Sculpey tiara. It's been wet, wet, wet here--but not like Louisiana! My neighbor Norm got his lake back, but no one has built on the adjacent property, which becomes very squishy when we have hard rains; when the new owner came around to introduce himself we did tell him that property floods and he needed to build upward on a concrete base, and we haven't seen him since :o. The neighbor on the other side is starting to have her backyard look post-apocalyptic; I like it. If it stays unmowed we might be getting more fireflies and butterflies next summer. I am still harboring "bees", the small hornets in the hollow tree in front. So far they have let me weed under them (though it was pouring at the time, so it wasn't really a fair test), but I can go in and out  the front door without them getting upset. The tree itself may be in iffy shape, and the hornets might also make tree trimmi...

First up, Sicktress fixed Dragael's wings (she also named her, so it seems appropriate). Unfortunately, it turns out the Nephelin wings are sort of custom drilled, so the holes on each side of her torso aren't drilled the same: (You can see where I need to put the magnet back in as well. But after seeing Sicktress working on her guy to build up his back, I think I will do a small scale version of the same, and drill out that left wing hole where it needs to be, and fill in the other holes completely with LaDoll. The wings will be in just one position, and that is ok with me. I also got a pair of Soom Monzo wings and they have a sort of hex key connector which is a million times more sensible than the magnet and pin assembly--you can change the angle but the wings are in there securely: And Mom sent me two wonderful things! A dress, which Ereshkigal promptly stole: It's sparkly and has a lot of center detail that you can't see from this angle, as I was just trying ...

I bought the 5 star Angelo head from cheesedemon88 because I loved, loved the faceup and the eyes. The question was-- what body to put her on? Cheesedemon had her on an old Soom Super Gem body, so I knew the head would fit ok on that neck. But which Soom old body? I had a Nephelin torso from AnchixdPix , from my attempt to get my painted Nephelin wings from Cat on someone , preferably my WS Dia. I had tried making a harness, and that wasn't too successful so far--the wings are heavy. So I bought the Nephelin torso, but it turned out to be Normal Skin (I have no idea why I thought it was WS). Also, the wings that Cat gave me are old creamy White Skin rather than new white, and my Dia is new white. The Nephelin torso was NS--but it does hold the wings...mostly. So I have now two pairs of Nephelin lower legs, one WS and one NS, one pair of old Creamy White wings, and a Normal Skin torso and fancy hands. The extra pair of Nephelin claws was for Polly, as a replacement for her hu...
