Got my birthday present a bit early this year- new macro lens for Canon 7D! I’ve still got a lot to learn, but this should allow for some more atmospheric photos. Plus this lens has IS which should help compensate for hand-holding this heavy gear. I know more hardcore doll geeks use bracketing and shoot…
It was a nice surprise when a tiny box from Taiwan arrived at my door this weekend, since I’d been feeling sick all day. The main attraction? Newly released mobility wrist parts, made by Cool Cat Collection. They’re not the first to make DD wrist parts with a wider range of motion- there are other…
“Smart” can mean sharply dressed, but it also refers to the fact that Melty’s borrowing the Smart Doll body for this photoshoot. Sometimes the long limbs bug me, but here I think the lanky look is a good fit for Melty. I snagged one of my wishlist outfits this month, and it’s a great fit…

Over the holiday break I had a chance to finish the faceup for Innocentsake’s custom Mariko, Rem. She may look innocent but really she’s trouble! I had a lot of fun working on her and the result is really gorgeous. Definitely makes me want to repaint my own Mariko, someday.
Trying a different look for Kirika with a white Leeke wig and homemade eyes. And of course Yuki looks gorgeous as always, she’s wearing the new Brown Bambi set from Volks. I think Volks was too generous on the sizing specs for this set, I found the outer dress looked way too big on SS…
Time to dress up for the holidays! Thanks to the forgiveness of velcro closures, Lorina can just manage to wear this candy striped DD dress I made. Her blouse is from the blue mille-feuille set. It’s hard to believe it’s only one year since she arrived! She’s been hanging out near my desk the whole…
Twins again! Well, there’s a story here. Long, long ago (in 2011) I got my first DDH-03 head to test the waters and see how I felt about an SD-sized vinyl doll. It should be pretty clear how that worked out! And I kept that original head as ‘Leocadie’ after redoing my first faceup effort.…
