Rajendora (Sewing Box Designs, on the sidebar to the left) made this perfect outfit for Laurel. Laurel is currently on an SID body, which meant that I had to put a spacer under her chin and hold her head on with a Soom resin"banana," all in the interest of having a lighter-weight body with no magnet feet. And the outfit is SO CUTE. It also snaps in front and is so easy to get on, and the beads just are the cherry on top. Laurel just needs some matching blue boots to go with it. Rajendora sews the best things! We went to see if a book I was looking for might be at the used book store. It was not, and the car stepped in gum in the lot: I still came home with two CJ Cherryh books I had not read before (The Faded Sun series). I also signed up for the waiting list for a science fiction show in Boston, so I have started some small painting for that--they need to be able to go through the mail, and it turns out I like painting small. I have made a lot of progress since th...

I saw an ad in Juxtapose for a gallery in Long Island's September show; it's the Haven Gallery  and it looks like a lot of fun. I was so impressed with Scott Radke's pieces, I kind of want one. :D They are cool and creepy and very lively looking. Here is more: You really must see the back of this bat guy --he has a friend and they are fruit bat sizes and the photos are fabulous. Also there is a lot more art on Radke's site --I found it really hard to navigate and the art pieces' titles are hidden in the upper right hand corner, so you have to mouse around and click arrows. It's worth the work-- but I wish there were instead thumbnails on a single page to click on. Cat says he uses La Doll for the heads and details. I think he uses a little magic in there too.

It's a art piece by Waldemar Bartkowiak and you can view the larger version here : I really like the wizard as a rat :D I have not done anything newsworthy today, so instead you can go admire Bartkowiak's portfolio on cgsociety or artstation. Waldemar Bartkowiak

This beautiful painting is actually a sculpture in front of a painted backdrop, and it fills me with the same joy that I had as a kid when I looked at Viewmaster slides and the animals in the foreground looked 3d and the landscape and sky in the back were flatter and looked more like photos. Take a look at more of his art on the High Fructose site --it's gorgeous and what I would like to be doing with the dolls here.
