Dennis descending into despair.

I almost forgot he's the same character who used to cut, because I don't have bandaids on this body (his old body had it on the arms) and I never did make the scars on his lower arms cos I'm just lazy, but when I think of despairing, and just really down thoughts, Dennis seem like the best doll to photograph for such emotions.

Sometimes I wonder how he could have gotten out of that period in his life if he didn't meet Nat. Why is it that often in stories or songs, people need someone else to bring them out of something? To be the first person to finally see who they are? Can't they do it themselves? Is it actually impossible, or are we just used to using another person being our savior that we give ourselves excuses to continue dwelling where we are? I'm inclined to think it's actually near impossible to help ourselves out on some days when I'm down, but I'll also like to think it might be possible to do it ourselves because ...well, maybe I just like to think it's doable. Because to trust someone to bring you out of your state requires, well, trust. Trust that I'd think Dennis won't have much of in anybody other than himself. And yet it's Nat who eventually helps him get out of it. I can't really understand how that works... Or maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic because sometimes, even jaded people take a leap of faith. I just don't really think it'll be so lucky sometimes. Oh well.

And I'm getting rusty with my photography skills. Especially using manual mode which I do for doll photography

Wig making :D

I got some wool/yarn at Spotlight the other day because the blue and purple was so pretty (I really like the green as well but that ball of wool/yarn was more expensive and I didn't want to buy it just for an experimental wig making since I won't have any use for wool/yarn when I can't knit >_<) I combed out a lot of yarn after making the basic wig (see the progress photo on my tumblr here), and of course I had to cut it up, because that's the most fun bit about making your own wigs (not being afraid that cutting them up would mess up the whole thing, since you can always remake it).

The wig is rather imperfect, but I'm happy for my first try, haha. You can't see it in the photos, and also cos I styled the heck out of it, but the wig is kind of bald in some places (I got lazy sewing the "hair" onto the wig cap), and the wig cap I made was a bit too small/short at the back (I had to hold it on his head with some masking tape). I love the colours a lot, and these are crappy nighttime shots cos I was so excited to take photos. I have to say though, the photos can't show the real colours in this wig. Gonna give this same wool another try when I have time...probably on Sion? Haha. And have another photo of Jack.
