New Acquisitions (pics)

The purse strings haven't been real tight lately and the dollies have been getting a little bit spoiled.  Alot of it needed work and the like but I'm enjoying the acquisition of it atm. I'm gonna post a big cumberson post with pics and the like so buckle down.

First off, over view pictures. Have one of the "mostly finished" stuff and one of the "totally needs work" stuff.
Mostly finished

Needs work

Now to the individual bits... Bought some fabric from a doll friend, mom made a Chinese dress out of it for Cassie.  It's really fab and fits her pretty damn well.Classy if nothing else. I'm quite fond of it, she hasn't taken it off yet ^_^

Next up is what poor Val was holding and the only thing thats kinda for him... but not.  Jellies for my dear ones.  Bought bracelets and chokers for msd but turns out that she cuts them for larger dolls.  Not a problem... not even alittle bit.. now I can cut them to exactly the right length and Lotus can wear one of the bracelets as a friggin choker!  I thought that was badass.  Lotus is wearing one of the MSD chokers and a bracelet, she claimed them right out the gate.  Left the black one for Val really and he's going to get to wear them when I make some more punkish (or at least short sleeved) shirts for him.

Speaking of, Lotus has a new outfit, bought from BFK ink's 12 inch doll stuff. bought them for the little back pack and purse...but they fit ok... tight but ok and she seems to be enjoying herself...

Next up, shoes!  Lots of shoes. well three pair that fit and one pair that didn't and therefor isn't pictured.  All from Dale Rae and they fit like a dream.

The pair that didn't fit were actually for Lotus.  I figured she could use some shoes, turned out she could use some smaller shoes. :/

Oh and while we're on the shoes... I found these AWESOME boxes a while back.  Got one to store the extra hands and one for the little dodads I've got for the dollies.  But after I got the shoes i couldn't help wanting to keep then neat... probably because I'd recently lost Cassie's other pair and found them again... brand is  "really useful box" and they really aren't joking.  I went back and bought several more after getting all my shoes and stuff stowed away.

Next is my strange find.  Two tiny cast iron skillets.  No I mean it... cast in Iron.  they both had those silly little paintings in them but since they are like... real tiny skillets I cooked the paint off the one I will keep.  Willing to sell the other... if my sister or mom don't want them.  I even seasoned the cooked one to make it look a little more used and evenly colored.

lastly on the "mostly finished" list is the painting and frame.  This was fun... and frustrating... I've found that it's been entirely too long since I last did a water coloring so this one is... lackluster at best  I like the way the frame came out though, and will likely have another go at making a painting... might go with acrylic next time so it won't warp so badly >.> or use actual water color paper next time >.>

Now.. the unfinished stuff isn't really... pictured individually. But the flowers and two glass bottles are going to be vases, mom's got some sunflowers for me which will be a blast to work with and make a fun piece out of.  purple roses and some little thin foam flowers for the other one, should be interesting.  The two brightly colored frames are for if I ever pull my head out my ass and start doing more tiny paintings... we'll see.  but if I do... I'm going to have to paint those pretty heavily, Might actually pull the backer off the green one and spray it black or maybe even coppery gold or something and make it a mirror.  Copper would work best cus I could use any lost paint as patina >.>

not sure what I'm going to do with it...but I found this at good will today... might be a glass or maybe a votive holder... not sure... but it's kinda cool ^_^

Another non dolly specific thing that's cool is I have a Cricut gypsy on it's way to my wally world and a new Halloween cartridge for it... with monsters ^o^ I'm so making haloween decorations for the dolls.... and my kids >.> of course them too! there is a little paper 3d object at the end... we're gonna have fun sending nearly 30 to school ^_^

K that seems to be all the junk I've collected for my dear dollies  hopefully I'll be able to do an update when some of this stuff set up with their stuff...
