took me a week to finish a wig

So I can totally add twist gel to Tibetan lamb fur to make neat little twists. I would not want to twist a full wig, but at least I know it's a thing I can do. I added a twist to Rich's wig, so they've got one nice, thin twist that curls a bit at the end. The next wig I have to work on is Pompeyo (Does he need a name change? I have a feeling I should change it *shrugs*), which will be interesting since I want it short and I've never taken scissors to any wig. I'll probably have to buy those little poster strips to replace the velcro that (kind of barely) holds on to my dolls' wigs. Those feel like they would be neater to work with, anyway. I will also need to get Rich eyes, soon, because them not having eyes bothers me. It's not bad but I want them to have eyes ASAP. I'll probably get a pair after this Taobao GO I'm in. I paid for 3 pairs of MSD shoes (wanted to get 4 but these sandals I wanted for Tiresias would've held back other orders)
Incoming doll, incoming Tibetan lamb fur, would have incoming shoes, but sliMSDs are such a pain to shop around for (Taobao came up with nothing reasonably sized, so eBay is sort of my only option (I know there's Etsy, but I want too much from too many Etsy stores, lol). I'm really digging the '17" Tonner Matt' shoes even though they're kind of big-ish. I get very particular about doll shoes, apparently). In the mean time, I'm going to be camping out on DreamSelfy and getting clothing ideas. And maybe sometime this week I'll actually start sewing? (I say this, but will it ever actually happen?) I kind of have to do some room cleaning, so if I can unearth my fabric and sewing tools, then I can make a mess of my living room - but at least I'll be doing something productive. Honestly, I can't wait to start using the lamb fur (Is it the same as mohair, or is mohair different?) I really like making wigs for my dolls, since I feel decent at it. ;P

ADAW 2k15 March 14th ~ Apirl 11th Catch up

Pictures are up on the Flickr and Tumblr, thank the gods. Some prompts were more difficult than others, but it's whatever. Got stuff done. 'Mail' was fun to do, because Topher (Soom Afi) was more mouthy than usual to Dez (B&G Eli-Imp). Topher's a sweet kid, but just bittersweet to Dez (because of silly back story reasons). This was also the first time I mentioned one of the adults/older characters from their doll-verse? (I think.) Vergil 'Venus' Adrom (Crobidoll Mikhail) is the guy that Dez and Topher came from, basically. Now this reminds me that one the dolls I wanted for Topher's adopted parents is going to be discontinued soon. I wanted one of his dads to be a DollZone Floy. ohwell. I tried my best to not go outside for 'Spring' or 'Green,' and I succeeded. I really wanted to use the word 'greenhorn' for 'Green,' but that would've required props for Hephaestus (MNF Chloe) that I don't have and didn't f

drive is low, but motivation is on the rise

I haven't taken pictures for some weeks. :/ I got stuck on one of the prompts ('Math') and my drive took a nosedive. My birthday is coming up, so maybe I should take a bunch of pictures as one of many gifts to myself. I also haven't been making time to write about each prompt/shoot, but that's because I take some of the photos at godawful hours, and I don't want to make time to write. :") Lately I've been thinking (more) about getting Doll Chateau dolls. I added Douglas to my wish list  (My wish list is really becoming a list of doll "face claims" for characters in stories I'll hardly/never write) , and I started making plans to dye Agatha, Charles, and Douglas for characters (since they're part of Marco's story, and needed to be fleshed out). I was also wanting the Douglas sculpt as a doll that I could dress in anything (which ties in with their character), because I have this "thing" about wanting to have a, as I c
