Tulip

Nickname: None
Mold
Head: Ya
Body: Resinsoul double jointed Female MSD
Resin: white
Face up: by me.  She came out really nicely
Eyes: Grey green Acrylic.
Hair: I'll have to ask mom, can't remember off the top... but she's a dishwater blonde.
Extras: Tulip is on the newer RS body, and is before the new hips, so I had to really take some serious sand paper to her hips, and even to the backs of her thighs to make her sit better.  She's got both the regular Rong hands and the Yao hands, not to mention she's got the regular feet and the high heel feet.
Story:  This is mom's doll, not mine.  So I don't really know what kind of story she might ever get, if any.  I know mom likes her but I don't think that mom has any plans for a background story or even a character.
History: Not too much to tell.  Mom's first doll ^_^

It's been a while

Yea I've been out of it when it comes to Doll stuff.  Like REALLY out of it.  But I just had a doll meet yesterday and I'm pretty excited about the idea of getting back into doll stuff making... I think it has to do with the restringing I did.  Helped restring a SD boy who was being fitful and helped out a lot wish she would have brought his head so that I could have helped more... or that I'd have remembered my glue gun so that i could have helped with his sueding but all is in the past.


So A while back my friend (daemon) who isn't into dolls but IS into creepy things said he'd love it if I would make a creepy doll.  We're talking extra limbs, LED eyes, carved in mouths or wounds, anything I can think of to make a creepy doll.  But my own aesthetic insist that I still need to be able to find her pretty.  SO I  think I might start designing a doll.  Not sure if we're talking true undead (Oh stitches would be fun!) Something serpentine (Naga?  extra arms? extended torso?  WHO KNOWS!!! Probably lots of scales.)  or just straight up alien (Additive mod for spines or ridges?) 

I would certainly use a RS or BBB doll for the base, because... Yea even if someone else is funding I'm still just too frugal to buy a super expensive doll to hack up.  Not to mention, I LOVE RS/BBB! they are pretty easy to work with too... So if I wanted to order extra limbs to add arms... Just add it to the order.  It's really that simple.  Not to mention, color is an option with them...

Bad part about deciding is that he'll be no help.  when talking about it, he simply flooded me with creepy pictures that he was hoping I might be able to do. So yea, he gave me ideas, and NO focus.

I am thinking maybe some crazy frankendoll. And I'll buy some extra arms to make articulated wings with >.> that would be badass... can I pull it off? prolly not.. but FUCK it would be cool.

Random bits

So alot of stuff has been going on, some of it fun... Some of it very NOT fun.  we'll start with the not fun.

Not fun: Eldest gets an ear infection, No more than 2 weeks later, Youngest gets an ear infection.  Little one is still miserable with it, poor little thing.  He's been having problems sleeping, had a fever, and after half a week of dealing with that he finally started tugging on his ear so I knew what was going on.

Not fun: I need to start exercising just so I don't feel so dead all the time.  I've been so tired lately most day's after I get biggun to the buss... I fall back asleep for hours.  Like I've slept till 1 several times, and that's just not cool.

Fun: Eldest is doing really well in school!  Had  a meeting with his teacher about him and he's actually doing really well in most areas.  being that He's been diagnosed with PDD (which is an abnormal autism diagnosis) Him doing "better" in all areas and him doing "average" in some and "above" in others... I'll fuckin take it!

Last fun is a bit of a story:  So a while back, there was this fabric that I wanted, but I didn't really have the money so I put it off.  Well it disappeared from walmart, the whole damn bolt.  This bummed me out greatly, because not only was it purple but it had a rather small motif, suitable for dolly stuff.  Fast forward to earlier this week, I'm in the same walmart, looking at their new pretty display of zippers and I turn to talk to the sweet old lady who cuts the fabric.  And there... in this cart that looks suspiciously like returns is a WAD of this fabric.  I recognize it right off and inspect it.  It is neatly folded and almost looks almost like someone just took the bolt out of the center of the fabric.  I ask her about it, You know, Hey is this up for grabs, what is this, kinda stuff.  And she tells me whats going on with it.

Oh this girl who used to work here had me cut that for her, but apparently when she got it to the register her order totaled out at 150 dollars so she decided not to take it.  Simple enough answer right?  She continues the story though.  Apparently this girl Snuck the fabric into the lawn and garden section and hid it in some room back there.  Left it there... Then, for a totally unrelated thing (Oh yea, this is three full quilts worth of fabric, we divided it out, and they were really quite pretty, 2 of them were nothing I wanted but they were pretty all the same) She got in trouble with the office so left a note on her counter stating simply "I quit" and left.  Now honestly most people would have taken the fabric with them, stealing it, but she didn't...  Some security dude found the fabric and brought it upfront and they just pitched it in a cart and sent it back to fabrics and crafts.

This is the point at which I look down and inspect the fabric once again, there is some dust and it's not as clean as it should be but that's not a Huge deal.  Just as I'm about to leave I look down and notice the date on the tag...  2/26/2011 This lady forgot to mention that this stuff had been out there 3 friggin months!! It only mattered because the stickers they use... don't last 3 months.  They last about 1.5 to 2.  Less if the item is deleted (which this fabric was long since deleted)  BUT! I GOT MY FABRIC! and I'm totally stoked.  the backer for the quilt... Was the stuff i wanted ^o^ I have no idea what I'll do with 8 yards of the stuff since I have no intentions of making the original quilt it was cut for (didn't even buy all the purples, some of them were really not that cute) But I am considering trying to make a different quilt.. just don't know what yet ^_^

But yea, interesting stuff going on, not all good... but it's stuff.
