Briar: My Traveling Gnome

I visited my father, who lives in the Portland, OR area with my husband. We had a great time and I finally had a reason to have a traveling gnome! Briar graciously screamed for it to be her. She has a new wig too!


On the river, showing the bridge network.


She was so cute trying to look through the telescope. It was black. We had no quarters.


She sulked for awhile about it.


And then we went to the world famous VooDoo Donuts! Briar could not get over the golden glitter brickwork outside the shop. The store had a line snaking down the block. Thankfully, it was a fast moving line.


We decided not to have donuts for dinner, though, and found a cafe with Natural Portland ketchup. The next day we went looking for waterfalls and scenery. Oh boy did we find it. Briar would like to take over the narrative voice from here.


I's more interestin' anewayz. We went to da waterfalls and I went rock climbin's!


Wasn' easy.


Everthin is so green and lushes. Even da air was green out here! You see's when you looks around.

The Cloaks Are Finished!

The cloaks I mentioned in the previous post are completely finished and posted on the DoA forums. I loved the pics taken. They make me wish I had a Fairyland Littlefee at home to wear them. So cute! Here are Rosslyn's dolls Stella and Scythe modeling the various cloaks: Overall, I'm very pleased with how they came out! If you would like to purchase one, go here .

Progress on the Modifications

I do not have pictures at this time, but that will hopefully change soon. Khorae's modifications are mostly complete now and her posing ability is amazing, especially compared to what it once was. She can sit up straight without any support--and did so for two days straight! She can even cross her legs and hold that pose as well. Her new sleeping head has had the lips parted further for a more natural sleeping look, and the eyes have been closed with epoxy sculpt. The nose has also been filed down to match her awake head, and the ears pierced. I'll go into more detail when I do finally have photos. Unfortunately, though, she's still blank, so hopefully we can get her blushed and faceupped soon, before the autumn weather changes to something too damp to work with.

I Live! Dollies Live, Too!

I haven't forgotten about my blog, I promise. My classes have begun to kick my butt, so my free time is eaten up by homework and tests and studying. However, I do have good news on the dolly front. Today, Khorae was completely pulled apart at Rosslyn's place and wiped clean. Faceup included. She's about to undergo serious modifications (beyond the nosejob we've already given her). Rosslyn is going to add posing capabilities to Khorae's torso and legs, so that she can properly sit up, and stand. Also, Rosslyn mentioned that she felt she was better and more experienced at faceups now, so Khorae needed a more natural look while still being manicured. Think manicured in the Middle Ages. Also, Khorae will be getting a second head, so she'll have a sleeping face as well as her awake one, and we also have a second pair of hands we hope to boil and then curve the resin into a shape more conducive to holding something. She should be more versatile once she's comple...
