I reorganised my dolly area and although I don't think I have amassed a lot of things relative to the number of dolls I have (13dolls, 1 floating head and 1 more head I'm selling), the fact remains that I am out of space to store everything. At least now parts of it are more organised, but I probably would want to sell more clothes etc and get some space back. Right now their shoes are just sitting on the table in a cardboard box because they don't fit in the drawers with the rest of the things...

Still haven't gotten the energy to really do any doll stuff yet, but I'm thinking of redoing my Tae's faceup. Elly's supposed to be more edgy, although that is a bit hard with such a sweet face. Gonna think what would work, and maybe do a mockup once I get my tablet back. I did switch Freddie's head onto Elly's body, and she looks mostly fine (a little bobble-headed) with a wig on. No photos yet other than the instagram one, haha.

In other news, I put my Roderich head for sale on DoA because much as I like him, I really would rather have some space in my doll area for dolls I like more, and he's the one I'm least attached to.

Things I'll like to do once I have a bit more time to play with my dolls:

1. Try Freddie out on Elly's body, even if the resin match is bad, since Freddie's head is rather yellow. And since Freddie is a tomboy, it means I have to figure out to change the SDGr body to flat feet (finally since Elly's only ever uses her heeled feet), and take some photos of Freddie outside. And also try the various wigs I got on Freddie since I'm still not sure which works better on her.

2. Think about how I want to redo Tiyana's faceup and actually redo it. I've been thinking since last year but I've been too chicken to redo her faceup in case I don't like the new one (I really like how I did her lips for the current one!)

3. Play with my LLT Roderich. He's still unnamed. But I'm pretty proud of how I did his faceup so I'm really reluctant to sell him. :/ Sigh. What is this.

4. Change Kristolf maybe. I got him some new clothes.

In hindsight it will be better if the blanket wasn't yellow, but I had fun editing it. Joe hasn't had much photos, if at all, eh. :/ He's supposed to be happy but I guess I like gloomy shots. Haha.

Sdrcow's dA journal on Recast Information (friendly).

Just thought I'll put a link to it because much as I am anti-recast, I think it's good to have a more friendly/neutral attitude when starting to introduce the topic of recasts, especially to people who just encountered the topic. I might link this properly on the sidebar but for now, let's leave it here.

Won't you just look at this cute and happy face? Cypher is one of the easiest to pose, on account of how light he is, and cos the LTF body is pretty damn cool with all its inner notches to help hold poses. I was playing with him at a dollmeet although he wasn't really dressed for the theme (kinda just brought him along cos he's light, haha) and I wanted to see if he could squat.

I've not really had the time or inclination to play or photograph my dolls lately, because I feel like I'm really busy (well, I guess I am, technically), but I'm thinking if that's actually a smart move. I just realise how happy playing with them makes me feel, and school has been making me feel really stressed lately, no matter how much I tried to alleviate it by doing my work regularly and on time. At least for a short while when I do play with my dolls I feel more relaxed. Hmmmm...

Either way, just editing this photo makes me feel a bit better, so, yay, Cypher? Haha.

Gah, I thought I was set on selling my LLT Roderich, but everytime I pick him up in real life, I decide against selling him. And I'm also worried that if I sell him, I'll end up regreting it. The problem is, I ran out of space for so many dolls. Like honestly, the only reason why it's okay now is because the 2 SDs that won't fit inside my wardrobe (which already has 9 SDs in it) are being brought to hostel with me. Which basically means that I actually ran out of space for dolls 2SDs ago. Gahh.

Besides the Roderich head, Freddie (Volks Olivia) is my only floating head left without a body. And I still want to get at least a Dollmore Zaoll dreaming Luv in white skin. Which is why reason would suggest that I sell the Roderich head, because I'm the least attached to him, and he doesn't really have a character. But I am so reluctant to part with pretty resin things. Sighhhh. Why am I such a hoarder?

Some updates now that I'm back in Singapore, haha. I feel kind of busy/still dazed from finishing the semester in Korea, then going to Japan (so many things to see, so many things to buy), and I'm not even done unpacking, lol.

Anyway, I actually went to 2 Volks stores in Japan, one in Akihabara (Akiba), and one in Osaka. The one in Akiba I kind of stumbled upon, while looking at a shop that sells Azones (Pure Neemo are so cute), and I just went up the floors of that building until I saw Volks by chance, haha.

The one in Osaka was the one I intended to go:




Took a while to find the place with my friend's directions and just when I thought I won't spend any more money after leaving Volks with some clothes, I saw a sign for Dolk...so I went to find that as well. It's quite near Volks Osaka. Anyway, Dolk has some of its own clothes and eyes, but mostly that store had items from other companies, like Dollheart, Ninestyle, etc. I bought a shirt and a pair of eyes there, cos I couldn't resist. Being on holiday makes me spend with less restraint (so badddd).


And now that I'm back home, I had to open up Elly (whom I've shipped back home from Korea), and Joe's body (the Dollstown 15 boy body I bought 2nd hand). And I only just managed to put Joe onto his body yesterday, and dressed him up in something random so he won't be naked (apparently in my absence, my doll drawers have been blocked by a table that my sister used for studying, which makes me reluctant to dig through my clothing pile for something for appropriate for Joe).



But to be honest, I'm still kind of tired and lazy to want to do anything with my dolls besides lay them out to look at them.
