LEWTZ

So, I got a lovely new doll - er, action figure - who will be introduced next post. In the mean time, have Annabel showing off that which she claimed for her own...

A new bracelet from jewelry findings

Spring's hottest fashion accessory?

Photobucket

Probably so.

Maybe not the chainmail though.

And you know...

I don't think the helm quite fits.

2 New Dresses

Cell phone camera pictures again... I'm pining for the SLR.

This red ruffle dress was made from the ribbon off of a Godiva chocolate assortment ($6 for a normally $25 dollar holiday gift box? I'll take it!), and a bit of a white sock. You can see a bit of one of the sites I play on in the background (hooray virtual puppies and kitties).

This is what she was photographed in earlier... it's actually 2 pieces, the skirt and then an embroidered tube dress underneath, cinched with a bit of ribbon to give it some form. A nice summery outfit, too bad summer is so far away!

New Lipstick

Pining for the digital SLR, too...

Photobucket

I switched Annabel's lipstick around. The other - real human lipstick from E.L.F. - had nearly completely worn off, and left behind a bit of a gummy mess. So I wiped it off and went at it with a Lyra Aquacolor crayon. It's a brighter, more pinkish color and I had a lot of the same issues as before - 'aquacolor' means 'wipes right off if you try to paint the sealant over it'...

But it looks better, after 3 coats of crayon/sealant. :)

Silly comic thing...

Hello, Goodbye...

...as in, Hello from Emory instead of home -



as this cell phone picture from my dorm can attest. It's cold and blustery out there but so far my classes seem to be going well!

That's the good news...

The bad news is that the good camera is at home. Tomorrow I am trooping to the library to see if they have a setup for doing digital photography, however, if not, image quality will be... well, about as good as that picture of me above.

So with the wind sort of out of my sails, pictures may be few. All as well since I need to study. If I get really desperate for detail, I'll just SCAN Annabel...

But until then - 2 pictures from when I was still at home, and more from before.

Photobucket

Look! She can stand up in those shoes! (shamelessly stolen from another doll...)

Photobucket

I don't really like that top that much but oh well.

And from before...

This gazing globe was sent off in a trade but it sure was fun to snap a few pictures of it beforehand.

Sweaterdress from a sock - again



The tights are also new but, well, a little tight. I want to do another pair that are more like bloomers - loose. :)
...and here's the sock where it all came from. :)

Fun With Accessories!

Between cleaning out my room and knowing that my days at home are limited, I've gone a little crazy photographing. Most of these little accessories came from digging out things in my room.

Purse made by me - also the sweater - but the jacket is shamelessly stolen from Hayley, one of the Juku Couture girls.
What's that in the bag...?
Why, My Little Ponies, of course!
She is rather pleased with her collection. Also with her boots. (Shamelessly stolen from a Juku Couture gal.)
If I ever feel that I'm really good at working small-scale and painting, I will repaint this to look like one of the Odeco dolls.
MINTS! I have no idea what to do with this tin. It's not even the right size. But it sure is cute! It's a tiny clawfoot tub, how can you not love it!
Pie: an essential vitamin.
And finally, just a little portrait.
