The Haunted Dollhouse

This just came through on the Make blog feed and I thought it was something you all might appreciate. It's on a very small scale but that's part of the beauty and wonder of it.

Volks Carol at the Huntington Gardens

I know it's been a long while but I'm finally starting to regain my interest in dolls.  I took some fun pics of my Volks Carol at the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena today.  Played around a bit with weird effects afterward and this is what I ended up with









I shot the pics for a photostory I've long been wanting to do with her running through a hedge maze but I haven't put it together quite yet.

Doll musings

So not much has happened with the dolls this year.  I think of all my hobbies the dolls suffered the most from the move.  And I think, like lots of other people, I haven't been feeling it as much this year.  The new house is smaller so there is less room for all the doll stuff but in a way I think it's going to be good to get rid of some things so I can concentrate on a smaller number of dolls and really PLAY with them.

I'll always keep Anais of course, she's my muse and I adore my Carol so she stays too.  I will probably keep Syo, too although there is a slight doubt there because I want to get a Rinon.  As for the boys I'll be keeping my Ryu and will either get rid of my f16 and get a face up for my f31 or get rid of him and keep the f16.

On the plus side there will probably be more stuff up for sale here or on DoA!  And as things get weeded out I will hopefully get around to doing more doll photography and costuming once again.
