Happy Holidays from the Crew!
Josephine's annual birthday photo, this time in the tree again as I am home. Some more pics of her:
She's a little cutie but I notice my dolls are getting old, the elastics in her bloomers broke... need to fix that in the near future.

My new toys! Moon Princess Moona Lina in the white dress, and her sister, Darling, pictured here with their moon bunny companions, Blaize (in blue) and Nectaris.
They are all kinda works in progress. They all need stands and I think I might paint the princesses' hair and Moona Lina's crown. And I need to build them an environment. And Nectaris needs all of the above interventions--finish the costume, paint the doll, find or build a stand. But now I have a better idea what kind of aesthetic to go with.

I've been meaning to delete my old blog for faceups I've done. Mostly because my health no longer allows it
This little one was difficult to work on. I was given mostly free reign on him. Because pastels just disappeared, I ended up doing a more graphic style.
The faceup was inspired by the mask maker from the manga Blade of the Immortal.

Another doll line being discontinued
If you want a Doll Family-H 1/5 scale girl or boy BJD, you have until April 21, 2024. Then it's gone forever - thanks to recasters.
Recast buyers wonder why legit collectors get so angry? It's because recasts are ruining the hobby. So no, it's not a "live and let live" situation. It's a "If I tolerate your behavior, I am harmed" situation.
I have to save up for these dolls, if I want to purchase responsibly. Instead, I'm making stupid financial decisions and rushing to buy before a line disappears - and doll companies are discontinuing lines a LOT. Tell me when I can buy a Soom Tiny Gem. They haven't been available in forever - certainly not since I started collecting. Dollzone and Dream Valley are basically releasing limited dolls once, with one re-release if we're LUCKY, and then the dolls are gone forever.
Recast doll purchasers are directly responsible for disappearing doll lines. If they don't buy, there's no market for these dolls.
Mistakes happen. But people who actively, knowingly pursue buying recasts in the face of overwhelming evidence that they are RUINING the legit hobby? Screw them. They suck.
Also - recasts are ugly. Sorry, not sorry. That's why recasting companies steal pictures from Insta and doll companies. If they used their own pictures, people wouldn't buy. Still amazes me that people are willing to accept a bait-and-switch, just to save a buck or two.

Still tragically bald, but her outfit arrived and I got her eyes fitting a bit better in her head, so here's today's Cessare Propaganda - in doll form! Vote for her here! There's three days left!
[Extra tag for @sonic-oc-showdown ! Doll is a modded Petit Gem Soom Leepy with extra 3D printed parts!]

Well, my Mistress of Bones is finally ready.
It started in 2012, if my memory serves me correctly.
Her name is Freesia. She is a hybrid of a DollZone Aurora head and a SOOM super gem body.
What took the most time was figuring out what she should wear.

Where it started...
How it's going...
She's not quite finished yet, but I couldn't wait to share.
This is Blaise. Her father was a jackalope who fell in love with a moon rabbit. Now she serves as a courier between the moon fairies and the terrestrial fairies.
