Monthly photo challenge: Circus (July)

I was inspired by Aussidolls  to finally get my act together to do something for this theme which I love.  

Photo challenge: stories from the sea (August)

Living in LA I had an "LA Woman" idea in my mind for this.  While there are is no actual ocean I hope it still feels a bit sea-side-ish to you.


This one ran a close second in terms of my favorites of these, but I've done a lot of swimming pool shots of Lagoona and figured the first one was more interesting. 9.staticflickr.com/8003/7640744346_355ec83a86_z.jpg" width="640" /> It was a lovely day and had a lot of fun with this - despite it being so bright I couldn't see what I was doing!  You can see some more out-takes in my Monster High set on flickr

More modding madness

I've got a few pics of a few MH mods I've done recently.  First off we have Eve, the daughter of Mother nature (formerly a CAM witch) and if you don't think MN is a monster think about all those storms and earthquakes and think again! 




Then we've got the little blue devil, my custom Rochelle, confiding in Napoleon about how much she misses her native France.

And lastly, my favorite Wendigo, Ithaqua's daughter (a modded Ghoulia)  Ice witch, devil or zombie you decide.  Poor thing has to borrow the Wraith's dress for now since it was the only suitable white tattered doll costume.

Death

Got got my latest shipment of mohair and so was able to finish my custom black and white Frankie Stein as the Sandman's Death.  Her clothes aren't quite right, she really should have black jeans and a black tank top but they were the best I could come up with at the moment.  I'm really happy with how she turned out, she's got the impish look I was hoping for.

Tails and horns and skeleton torsos, oh my!

I thought the other Monster High fans reading this might be interested to know that Plastic Curves is selling horns, a reptile tail and best of all a skeleton rib cage torso for the CAMs.  You really have to check out the torso if you're at all interested in this sort of thing, supposedly it's somewhat articulated too.   And yes, they have a variety of colors besides pink!

Sisters - Monster High Photo Story

Clawdeen, do you remember how we used to play out here when we were little?
I used to chase you all around, I'll bet I drove you crazy! Yeah, I remember, you DID drive me crazy!  And look at you now, you're all grown up! I'm...I'm going to miss you when you go off to college in the fall Clawdeen.

I'm going to miss you too Howleen.  I going to miss you too.

More monster modding

Still having fun modding MH dolls.  As per usual I have a bunch of different project all going at once.  I still haven't finished Bastet's hair mostly because the crimping bead ends take forever and are SO boring to do!!  One of these days I'll complete her though.

In the mean time I've been having fun swapping bodies.  My latest is putting the skeleton CAM head on Spectra's body.  I'm really NOT a fan of Spectra's mold but I love that ghostly body and I think the lines of the skeleton girl's sculpt fit a ghost much better.  My plan is to make Spectra's head into another Catrina, I think I might like her better with her whole face painted.

I also swapped Howleen and Cleo's bodies.  I want my Cleo to be a sort of fierce fairy type and the smaller body suits her.  And I'm making my Howleen into a werefox and wanted a larger body, I did keep the heads with their original hands though, so for anyone else interested in mixing monsters Howleen's hands will fit on a larger body and larger hands will fit on the Howleen body.  My Cleo is actually done, unless I decide to make wings for her.  It took me a lot of tries but I really like how she finally turned out!  The poor thing is naked until I made some clothes for her since Howleen's gear just isn't right for her.
