Nymphaea caerulea

Nickname: (Nile) Lotus
Mold
Head: Bei
Body: ResinSoul Single jointed female tiny
Resin: light blue
Face up: by me
Eyes: Safrin doll Natural mossy 14's at present. 
Hair: Yarn Wigs by me.  Her hair is dark purple braided (half plied yarn)
Extras: As a fairy she will be modded ever so slightly so that her wings will stick, likely that means that she'll have a magnet inside her torso.
Story: Lotus is the top dog of my fairys, she takes no guff from anyone, she's bull headed and always has to be right.  That's not to say she can't be fun, she loves pranks and the like but she wants them done on her terms and doesn't want to be the butt of the joke.  She seems to believe herself some kind of  Egyptian Muse even though she came to be long after Cleopatra died.  That's not so say she's young or a child, she is in fact some 250 years old, though she won't fess up to her exact age, claiming to be quite a bit older than she really is.  Out of the three she is the most mature acting and the others do allow her to be in charge, or at least defer to her in matters they aren't comfortable with themselves. Her flower is the Nile Lotus or Blue Nile Lily.  Her wings will be scarab wings.  As must be obvious by now, Lotus leans towards an Egyptian theme.
History: So at one time I was like "OMG MEI+LAVENDER= FAIRY WIN!" and I started planning some fairies.  Then I met a lavender doll and I was heart broken.  It wasn't purple... It was a lavender grey!  so things got put on hold.  There had always been a bit of an "Oh bei would make a perfect sister to Mei"  so I was planning a bei and a bao but I wanted three fairies and with Mei out of the picture, well that left muuuch planning to be done.  In the end I decided that a blue bei would be perfect for my ringleader fairy, thus Lotus was born.  Entertainingly while she was on order is when I picked out her name, and Fig, my green bao (not sure if he'll stay a bao since he's still in planning) managed to get a name before she did.  Received her on 1/5/2011 as a late Christmas present ^_^ THANK YOU MOMMY!!

Loreli

Nickname: Lori
Mold
Head: Fairy head (gogo)
Body: Felix Small comfort
Resin: Natural skin
Face up: by me.
Eyes: Acrylic blue
Hair: Yarn Wigs by me.  She'll be a llittle brown headed thing, probably with some silly little punk wigs just to liven things up... baby wig shown ^_^
Extras: Lori will -hopefully- have two heads, an open eyed head and a sleeping head.  We'll have to see what the little booger has when she comes.
Story: Likely to change, Since Cassie and Val are up in the air.  Cassie and Val's baby... As for her personality, she's a bright cheery baby who loves all the attention you can lather on her.  be warned, she loves to chew on fingers.
History:  As far as dolls with back stories go, Lori has had one of the more frustrating ones.  When I saw the Small comfort... I immediately fell head over heels in love with the body.  At the time I had not wished or wanted for any doll more than Cassie and had every intentions of it staying that way for the rest of my life (oh how foolish).  But seeing that little baby body, with those little baby toes and little bowed legs... I was smitten.  because Cassie is white I had to come up with a reason for this little baby to have natural skin.  My options were, adopted and dark daddy.  Well if you've ever seen Val's profile, you know that the answer was darker daddy.  I started trying to find her, to get here and man was that an ordeal... It's all over the blog but sufficed to say Lori is the reason I started looking at other dolls and ended up actually getting other dolls.  As of right now, her mom and dad dolls are in flux, so right now she's going to be a foundling that my forest critters have found until I either decided to pick Cas and Val back up in new shells or totally rewrite her.

problems

I'm havign so much irritating problems.  I'm wanting to finish my last commission (ever) but I just can't get it finished, it keeps frustrating me.  I have way too much of it done to just tell the person I'm not doing commissions anymore but I've been at these same wigs for FOREVER! T_T  not to mention it's like nothing I do makes these thigns any easier... I'm way too far to be in the "home stretch"... and I REFUSE to start on any other wigs until these are done.. so Lotus and Izuko are both boned until I'm done with them... not to mention tien has a wig that i'm supposed to be making.... and any wigs I wanna make to sell can't start until after this is done... SO MUCH is riding on me finishing these things and I just can't even look at them...

Can I please borrow some Gumption?  anyone?

Izuko

Nickname:None yet
Mold
Head: Lan (Lightly modded)
Body: Resinsoul single jointed Female MSD (lightly modded)
Resin: white
Face up: by me. It seems I'm getting better
Eyes: Acrylic brown.  Size 10
Hair: Yarn Wigs by me.  She's going to have a bunch of straight yarn wigs.  I suspect she'll be wearing her updo wigs more often than not so I have her pictured wearing one.
Extras: Izuko is supposed to be a geisha so we decided to make her a liiiiittle more Asian looking by evening and lowering the center of her eye.lids.  Essentially we straightened the inside of her eyelids.  Then I sanded off her nipples to nice round pseudo nipples so that she could be a modest Geisha (can't have those things poking through her outfits! XD)
Story:  This is my sisters doll so I have no claims to who she is or what she does. What I do know, is that Izuko is supposed to be a geisha.  She's got Kimono after Kimono after kimono planned for her clothes along with some other Asian flavored clothes coming from my mom.  She should be fun.

Welcome to the family

LOTUS IS HERE!!!
Now to get to making more clothes for her >.>

*explosions*

So I think I'm really REALLY close to vibrating at my own frequency right now.  I kinda hoped that when I got my second and third doll I would be less excitable about it... but turns out I was wrong.  My doll is now IN our town so I should be able to hold her today or tomorrow and I tell you... I think I shortened my husband's life I scared him so bad when I squealed "Yes" Seeing "usa 52404" as where my doll was in EMS... I hope they make a special trip or soemthing and make sure my dolly comes today... My house might burn down from me exploding if I have to wait till tomorrow at 3 to open her...

INCOMING!

So my newest baby, Lotus is beign shipped right now... LIKE NOW O.O like according to her tracking she's in the air right now... on her way, most likely to jfk airport in New York.  My sister tells me that her last doll took 4 or 5 days from shipping.. so I'm happy to tell myself that she should be here friday, and if she comes earlier.. Ooo I will be one happy little turd!

Unfortunately it looks like the poor girl will go to her first meet without any of her own clothes, without a wig and there's pretty much no chance she'll have a face.  I'm actually pretty sad she has to go to her first meet so much not herself... but I really want her... really badly.  I'm looking forward to her getting here... I am looking forward to it so much that I am repeating myself.. not just here.. but everywhere... When I got val... I wasn't this excited, I mean.. Yea.. I was stoked... but not like this! I am ape about getting a hold of her!  I've got yarn and fabric for her... no paint yet.. but I can't pick that out until I get her here... since she's blue skinned.

Either way I'm rambling... so I stop now... *scampers off and checks the EMS tracking number*
