DollsArtCats

OK, not entirely the guys--a few of the girls needed to be reassembled and they weren't ready on "girl picture day". For this set of photos I was smart and set it up the night before, so that there would be enough daylight to get the pictures I wanted. This new little Coolpix pocket camera handles low light better than the old one, so I was pretty happy with the indoor photos this year. Eventually I should make myself a lightbox and buy a real light. Here Amber (an old Luts Nanuri 07 on a ancient Soom Gem body) points out that Rilly, resinsoul Mei, is not a guy. Rilly looks annoyed at the obvious. ;) Also there is the Soom Dia, Abraxas, who is androgynous enough that owners often make her into a boy doll, so she sort of counts on either side: (I still need to put in her upper lashes.) Finally there is Martine,(Impldoll Delia) who points out that like most of the girls, she has no shoes; though if I would switch her to her heel feet, she has some really cute ones that...

Since J was home and could entertain the cat, I thought it would be a good time to take photos of all the dolls for the end-of-year head count. So I started setting them up on the worktable, and quickly realized that there wasn't going to be enough room. I decided would just photograph the girl dolls, and for every girl that needed shoes, I would raise her arm so I could remember who needed what. Serendipity, the Soom Galena Sweet Witch, promptly tilted over on her stand, but I left her that way as it looks like she is asking Jack (Granado Terra) why he's mixed in with the girls. He could point out that Gideon (Impldoll Chapman) behind him is vaguely a guy too, but since Gideon is an angel, I'm not sure Gideon really understands gender. In any case, while I have made progress in getting shoes for people, there remains a lot of work to do for 2015. A few dolls have hooves and finny feet and that helps a lot. The cute little colored soles that you see on a couple of dolls...
