Hello friends. I'v been on and off with dolls for a while now but it appears this is a major off. Then every time I pick one up for photos, it's Harmony. Well this off time is a bit different. I'v just gotten married and i'm immigrating to Canada and you wouldn't believe how expensive it's turning out to be. This wouldn't have been such a problem a year ago when I moved here with all my funds, but a year of no jobs leads me here. Luckily we have some amazing friends who have given us things like pots and pans etc. But the overall need for extra funds is still there. Which leads me to this.
May. I love this doll so much and yet it's always Ha

It's not hatred, it's incredulity.
when i was ten years old my
teacher asked the class,
"if you were god, what would
you change?"
and i remember
biting my lip so hard
that it bled. carefully,
i wrote about
how i would teach
kids from an early age on how to
love yourself and no one
else and that there is no such thing as
an almighty power that will pity
you and answer your desperate prayers
at three a.m. because you're the only one
who has that kind of control.
when i handed it in she just looked
at me like i was the
monsters under
her child's bed. the next day i
was sitting in her office wondering
why it was so wrong to
talk about what's in your heart at a catholic
school
Hahah well.
So I waited 10 months for my hand to heal...and I'm in debts due to medical bills. Hand is finally nearly healing, I thought I could finally quit this host gig and apply to anything art related. Or just draw normally.
My laptop broke.
Oh the irony. My shiet are all drawn digitally.
To compose a nice artsy resume for a graphic design job,
I'd need a laptop.
I'm incapable of buying a new laptop at this moment. (
Looks like I'm stuck at a job that goes nowhere for awhile.
Long hours, inadequate pay.
I stood outside a restaurant looking at their menu for the longest time...and promised to myself. One day, I'll make a living
Hey hey
It's been ages since I've actually done something on here.
I was just wondering if you guys would like to see some doll pictures again. I have done practically nothing with them for the past few months. Yuki and Hya have new faceups and I was hoping that would stir something inside me, but it's doing absolutely nothing. I think it's a shame because I used to get all excited about thinking of photo shoots and dressing them up, but all of that seems to be slipping away. I miss it. I really can't be bothered with taking them from their shelf or even pick up my camera. I still love them. That will never change. But my love for this hobb
And it has been about a thousand years since I last posted a journal entry. So here is a new one! I thought maybe it would be fun just to write some random personal @$ about myself and the doll "hobby" :)
Despairing realization:
I hate white skin dolls. I hate them so much. I discovered this after purchasing a royal TON of them on the 2nd hand marketplace when prioritizing by sculpt (goes something like this: "I want doll A, and I will buy him as cheap as I can in whatever color I can find"). I started working on these pasty people and trying to come up with some sort of pleasing color scheme for them and the way they limit me makes me wa

Secret Time II : Face-up Sealant Run Down
Hello all! I wanted to write a quick journal before an afternoon of work addressing some face-up topics such as media and technique tips (from my own personal habits). I hope that this information may be useful to those of you who have expressed curiosity to me in the past.
Sealants
Sealants are an essential part of the equation for non-airbrush media BJD face-ups. The two I have found I most like to use are Mr Super Clear Flat (Matte) and Purity Seal (by Citadel / Games Workshop). Because you hear a lot about one of these sealants (MSC / Mr Super Clear) and information about Purity Seal can be somewhat more difficult to find, I'd like to d
