Me and My Muses 4.8: "Banished"

Ellery reports back to girlfriend Kristin about Lucian's dismissal. This ep concludes season 4, and we'll be back in early 2013!( Read more... )

1:6 scale shoes are expen$ive!

I'm seeing your basic molded plastic sneakers and boots for north of $10.00 nowadays. I understand the expense if the shoes are made of real fabric and/or have real laces, but, other than that, I don't get it.

I do, however, see some nifty canvas hightops! ^_^

Flower Soft for everyone!!!!

One of the local craft supply stores carries at least 25 colors of it! It's about $5.00 for 30ml, and, like with glitter, a little goes a long way. I would like to use it for the following applications:

• Hair. Flower Soft, from what I can tell, creates a fuzzy, textured look to whatever you put it on. Therefore, I surmise that it would make wonderful stylized short hair, especially for 1:6ers! I foresee some peoples with cropped pink hair in the future...
• Grass. I've modified my mini forest idea a bit. Instead of making Aves Apoxie Sculpt bases for the trees, I think I'll nail picture-hanging nails part of the way into the base of each tree so that they form struts for support. Then I'll glue greenish and brownish Flower Soft on some felt or something and use it as a tree skirt over the nails. Takes less effort, and I'm all about expending the least effort possible...
• Foliage. Some various shades of Flower Soft on my fabric backdrops of trees could give them a little more depth.
• Fuzzy legwarmers. This idea depends on finding an adhesive that will bind Flower Soft to fabric without making the fabric stiff. I think such a thing exists...I just don't know about it. Once I have some glue of that type, I can glue stripes of rainbow colors to small rectangles of lightweight fabric, then secure them around Novella's legs for the fuzzy legwarmers that her outfit demands!

I'm surprised that I have yet to come across anyone using Flower Soft as doll hair...

Fat dolls

Whooooaaaa...I just got an interesting idea...I could probably modify some of the same techniques employed here [customizer makes short, fat 1:6 scale action figure] to make a 1:6 scale truly fat BJD!!! I could make Isabel a fat zombie! \o/ \o/ \o/

Peekaboo is a hoot.

Along with Theophany [and a bag of underwear] came Peekaboo, a custom dolly from Andrea. I believe she's a Mattel Lea head on a Volks something-or-other Liv body with enlarged breasts, added horns and tail. Don't forget the red skin! I like how she looks inquisitive and mischievous at the same time. She's coming to work with me....

Yo, Theophany!

Theophany tries really hard to be cool, funky and interesting. She lives with the fear that people might find her dull, so she purposely tries to get attention with her name [legal name: Tiffany], hair and dress.

As you can see, she's chasing my signature style, but she doesn't quite get it. I'm much more about multiple patterns and warm, loud colors, while she's too matchy and cool in tone. Even her hair, while pink and abundant, is the dusty rose color that I find much less interesting than warm magenta or hot pink.

Please don't tell her, but she's like a knockoff or a wannabe. Such a comment would devastate her, however, since, in her heart of hearts, she dreads being outed as the shallow, worthless impostor she feels like.

P.S. That's an eminently sarcastic daisy on her shirt. It should say FUCK YOU, but I haven't gotten that far yet. :p
