work in progress

I have no excuse for not posting in so long, except that I'm not very good at keeping any kind of schedule. I was adjusting to a new job, then I was traveling for a bit with family, then I was readjusting to my new job...and I didn't have as much time for the dolls as I would have liked.

Before I left town I got tired of having the resin crew all sitting on top of a shelf boring-like. I mean it worked, as a setup, but I've been wanting to find a more interesting way to display my dolls for a while. I'm insanely jealous of those collectors with the skill and patience to put together unique and creative spaces for their BJDs. I'd like to think I'll get there eventually, but for now I settled for some cheap shelving from Target.



I was a little worried leaving my Lishe standing up there for so long, but so far so good. She hasn't taken a tumble. I think restringing her really helped. She's definitely not a solid poser and probably never will be, but this is better than nothing.

Creepy dolls watch you while you sleep...

Mel, Mo, and Vicky are still on the shelf and will remain there until I can think of anything better. I might end up buying yet another freestanding shelf to put over my desk, but I'm a little uneasy putting so many holes in the walls. Recently my roommate decided to try making mini books for a program she's planning for her library. She made Vicky a composition notebook as practice, then she asked me what I wanted for Mel. I asked her for a Necronomicon. I got a Necronomicon.

I think we'll be okay as long as no one reads from it out loud

My roommate is awesome.

Not much going on in terms of hobby plans right now...I'm still waiting on Ashe's body, which is a bummer. I'm dying to get pictures of him and Mel together. I'm also waiting on an impulse-purchase head which may or may not mean reshelling D. I'll be keeping my Lishe, since I love her as a sculpt, but I'll have to rethink what to do with her. She needs a new faceup anyway. Keeping my fingers crossed for a local meet in the near future, so I can see some cool new dolls!
