four years and seven months...

after this much time and two previous tries, it has finally happened. everything has fallen into place and azerian is finally compete. or, well, nearly...he still needs to be painted, but we all know how that went...so now all i have to do is clean up his head and paint him. after this much time i'm hoping that most of the yellowing is the old style msc i sprayed him with ages ago...but i kinda doubt it. i've no idea if he was cleaned up during his adventure to england or not...or what else may have occurred. if it is all or mostly him, i'll be trying to lighten him a little. can't wait until his body mellows some! i'm loving the f60 body, though, and am so happy to have it for him. it is the body i wanted for him all along. now to go buy more dollheart for him...

three years, one week, and one day

so, my fullset feeple65 roke dragon knight arrived tuesday. finally! i ended up meeting up with kireix and making a mad dash across the hill after work to see if i could free him from the postal overlords holding him hostage and was successful! yay!

year three anniversary

so today was the end of year three and the start of year four. i can't believe that i've had winter and azerian for this long already! i've spent today and yesterday working on my unnamed amber. did my first and second airbrushing attempts on her. definitely a better job the second time around. XD i am fudging my rules for the yearly photo a little and will be having some work finished after the anniversary in order to have at least one more doll that is currently in bits back together for the photo. also, edric is still away in canada getting all pretty, so he will likely not be in the photos (unless it takes me 6+ months again).

anyway, just wanted to put up a quick note to celebrate! ^_^

check one two

does anyone even really actually read this thing? i bet not...*sigh* anyway...i'm being busy in a creative dolly way since early last week. i want to do a proper blog post, but it'll have to wait. somehow each night this week ends up being 9pm-ish by the time i get to sit down and do things. -_- that being the case, what you get is picspam that i took tonight in response to a request in the mnf discussion thread on doa. now...on to more work, maybe food, and finishing watching spaced...

on and on...

so it's been a while...and i keep telling myself that i need to post up a blog. um...a lot has happened, and yet not much. work is the same old, same old. my ass is getting kicked up one side and down the other by life, etc etc.

lazy park day

had a lazy day at the park sunday before last with kireix. was nearly 100 out, but had just enough of a breeze to be perfect for just hanging out. we dipped our feet in the wading pool at the park after visiting a street fair for delicious food, then whiled away the rest of the afternoon taking pictures of our darlings. :) enjoy the pictures, but be warned that this post is extremely image heavy!!!

naughty posing

here is an older shoot i did. i was still new to the a-line body and was seeing what all could be done with it to present a realistic pose and such. :)

faster than without water

*fistpumps* :D omg! so today was "topless tuesday" in the minifee discussion thread over on doa. it's kinda a new thing this week thing...and, well, i decided to participate. ^_^ i posted up this picture from my naughty posing shoot (don't think i have the shoot on here...) because others had already posted pics all day and, well, why not? i'm pushing it a little i think since the picture is slightly racier than some. true, someone posted a full nude doll, but that was more of a random shot of the doll just standing and they took it to illustrate something, not as part of a shoot and meant in any way to elicit an emotion or reaction...

anyway...right away i got a response from half.jak! she has gorgeous dolls and i am overjoyed at the comment!!!

"Quote Half.Jak:

Wow. That is one of my favorite pictures of all times <3 "

two years along...

so today is the two year anniversary of winter and azerian arriving. currently they are stuck away in my doll bag as i've been kept busy the past few days. that's okay though, i've decided to postpone the yearly pictures for this year as one of my dolls is out being done up.

yes, that's right, azerian is home! he arrived back on january 25th and has pretty much been hogging demaius's body ever since. i missed him so much and am so sad that he is currently still blank. i don't think i'm going to be sending him out for quite some time just because i have a ton of other dolls to work on, and i really want him home for a while.

as for the one that i'm delaying photos for...well...chade is currently away with candygears for a complete faceup and body blushing. she's working on him and, once he returns home, i will be taking the photos. the delay shouldn't really be more than a few weeks, so that is okay in my book. i've been in the process instead this weekend of working on the various pictures that i have pending. i've managed to pull all the photos off my camera from the past month or so and have been working at making sure that i have all the shoots set out that i need to get up from the past year. that should get me through until chade is back. :)

i will have to try and post again this week and recap what fun i had this past week, but for now, i need to get going! so much to do, so little time! <3 all my dolls and can't believe that i have 23 (including floating heads, not including various extra bits) home and am waiting on another! (oh yeah...waiting on bodies for the three floating minifee heads and a mnf rheia! more about that later!) taaa~

darkly darkly softly lightly

some pictures of winter. :D can you spot something new?

myth dark as night

my heliot arrived on the 11th! :D six months after ordering and now he's home. i've had plenty of time to worry about if i'll like him or not, if i made a mistake ordering him with a faceup on the r. head only or at all...in the end, it's all worth it.

right now he still has no name, his oe head is probably going to end up as another doll but i'm not sure yet, and i've not had time to work on him beyond wig and eyes...but he's still lovely! getting used to the soom jointing system is happening slowly as i realize that i've been a bit spoiled with the wonderful poseability of all my cp dolls. he's wonderful though! i'm completely in love with him. :) *pets heliot in her lap* hopefully i'll have more time to work on him in a few weeks...

anyway! enjoy! :D

pixie dust

winter got a new body the weekend before last. i'm now so majorly in love with the active line body...i think i may have gotten a bit carried away with the double jointed goodness! ^_^* title courtesy of jennynemesis. enjoy!

i've been soomed!!!

yup...i fell into the heliot trap...so now i've pushed around a few doll order plans for this month and put my order in on friday. *le sigh* i've no clue who he'll be or anything. so far i think i want his nickname to be eli...short for what, i don't know yet. elias, elian, elliott, eolian, elijah, eliam...i keep coming up with more and more...but no clue where he's going character-wise. oh, i'm getting him with a faceup on his romantic head (the one with the horn).

now i just need to order from fairyland next weekend so i can get the juri event head and azerian's body. mostly i just need to get az's body 'cause i now have a spot with lynsey to get him a faceup!!!! :D sooooo freakin' happy about that one. i was in her recent lotto and didn't get pulled...but she ended up opening 10 first come, first served spots a few days later and i got the last one! yeah, my new years day was full of joy. ^_^ so now he needs a body and i think i need to get ready for a dollmore order so the boys have clothes...

also found out yesterday that the planet spirit deneb from last year really was the first monthly zodiac doll (at least, the soom store japan has her posed with the rest of the monthly zodiac dolls...). so now i don't know if they will do another one this year or not which is a little disappointing since i didn't know about her until after (that i recall) so didn't get her and, well, was planning on getting the aquarius doll...maybe they'll do opposite genders this year? *hopes*

wintery white

it's been snowing here for the past few days now making the world looks so beautiful and soft. during the first snowy day i took a bunch of pictures of winter out in the snow. i took these in the courtyard at my apartment building...believe it or not, it was the first time i ever went into it since moving in 4.5 years ago! :X you can't tell from looking, but the snow was a good 6" deep and still falling in little flakes in these pictures...even so, i couldn't resist the opportunity for these pictures.

enjoy!
