Eric - Preview



It's been a long, grey January.  I have been working on a photoshoot with Eric to try get through some of these depressing doldrums.  The above picture is from that photoshoot, and I hope to post it in the near-ish future.

For those of you (okay, there's maybe two of you) who were waiting for news on the Enchanted Doll front, I have one word: Alas.  The Regular Mail people did not do their job properly and my would-be client's doll was sent back after being who-knows-where for over a month.

Dear and lovely readers, let this be a lesson to you: the more times we hazard the Post for our hobby, the more often disappointing mistakes are likely to happen.  Always take precautions when sending your resin people for accessory fittings, mods, or painting.

Elena's Third Box day


This week, on Dec. 31st, it was Elena's box-day.  Three years ago yesterday, I posted Elena's box-opening on Den of Angels.

I made her a little satin collar with a drop-shaped pendant to celebrate our three year anniversary.  You can see it in some of the pictures below.  I am intending for it to be part of a larger costume project that I have underway for her (there will be updates in the near-ish future).

As I have stated before, Elena was my first BJD, so her box-day is not only the day of her arrival, but is also the day that I saw my first BJD in person.  I'm sorry the lighting is not ideal in these pictures.  In what I fear might become an annual tradition, Elena could not be persuaded to move to a better location.  She spent the day lying in bed and moping over the hideous, awful, inexorable progress of time.
