It's making me want to sculpt one in that size but i haven't finished my tiny yet so i'll just have to be patient. The casting is going to have to wait till after xmas when the money is more available.

Been puttering about lamely with a few things, nothing of note really, been doing some knitting etc and that's about it.

[edit]
forgot to mention i've had false starts on casting my tiny bjd, i thought i'd found somewhere in the uk to make molds and cast for me or sell me the mold making service, but i never heard back from them.
I have humidity problems here big time and it's set me back months.
that and i keep buying things for other people and dollies

They're buying a used doll fgs, there is bound to be a little damage and a little scratch here and there, not to say that i haven't declared it either. I'm fed up of bending over backwards to help people and them not even saying thank you. i'm fed up of people not being satisfied that i'm not a large company and can jump when they click their fingers. i'm fed up of feeling like a servant when i do my best to please.

Damn it, my creativity has seemed to have just gone flying away, nothing is going right.

1. Why the hell don't people read? How hard is it to spend a few hours reading information before posting stupid and OFTEN ASKED BEFORE questions on forums?

2. Why do people go through with a transaction and then change their minds at the last minute? with stupid excuses too, like, o i was ill and decided that i didn't want it, OR, o i can't afford it? IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT THEN WHY GO THROUGH WITH THE TRANSACTION?

3. Why is it that people say they understand that i have m.e and then go ask why i don't have a job/life?

4. How bloody hard is it to phone ahead and say you're going to be popping over for a visit rather than just having 4 people turn up when the house is a mess and i'm trying to tidy?

i don't know if i'm being over stressed cos i feel crap and have a cold or what, i'm just so fed up i feel no inspiration to take pics, draw or sculpt.
I'm so blocked and braindead.

The courier company mucked up and i'm running around trying to make everyone happy.

O look, i failed.

Another house member had swine flu and i exhausted myself trying to keep the house together, i missed the deadline for my Psycology course certificates to be handed in. Means if they will still accept me i have to wait until january to apply again.

O look, once again i failed.

supposed to be saving enough money to pay for my course, resin and some more silicone. I have a few bad days and spend my payday money on something i shouldn't and now i have no money.

suprise suprise.... i failed

can this year be over now?
My motivation has hit rock bottom.

Ah well at least things have been coming out okay.
Made a tiny head recently as well that i may cast.
wondering about offering casting services to people...no one would be interested but hey *shrugs*
having a small relapse of the m.e for some reason. hopefully it won't last long.
so i'm just going slightly crazy as usual.

i'm actually feeling quite jolly right now and very creative so i might not update for a while as i'll be making like mad!

I've given in to my macabre side for a while and been drawing before making the figures and i have some great ideas. Unfortunatly i've always got excited and told people my ideas and had them stolen >< this has happened time and time again and i've been hurt too many times to give in now, especially as they will be for sale on Etsy

so, for hints i've posted some photos of things on the way, but beware, they're not finished at all and don't resemble the finished items that much.

i finally found my light tent, yay! and then my camera refused to turn on at all. so my kodak has given up the ghost entirely. Anyone want a 5mp kodak easyshare for a tenner?

Anyone want to commission some ACEO/ATC?

They say that so many people are joining just with the intent to create bjd's that :
[quote]The sculpting and creation of dolls in this style was never intended to be a part of our forum, but we were happy to accommodate the then-small group of interested artists[/quote]

I don't really know of anyone just joining to creat bjd's to sell. For goodness sakes, not everything revolves around money DoA.

If the focus of the DoA forum is to be: [quote]collecting and customizing Asian-designed and produced ball-jointed dolls[/quote]
then why allow a marketplace AND workshop section that includes: sewing, accessories etc?
Those items are ADDITIONAL to the collecting and customisation. Will these parts eventually dissapear too?

Also if the focus is [quote]Asian-designed and produced ball-jointed dolls[/quote] then ALL the designers OUTSIDE of ASIA should be excluded AS WELL AS those home producers who make and cast their own dolls and sculptures.

THEIR OWN WORDS SAY THAT, and yet i'm sure that things in the 'spirit' will remain if the producers are friends of the moderators. Hang on a minutes...what moderators? The mods are fewer and fewer in number, and threads in the artists subforum have to be moderator approved before posting...could that be the real reason? They have too much work for one Mod and don't want to make any more? I'm sure there are many very trustworthy people able and willing to be excellent mods if that's the case.

I'm finding DoA more and more restrictive, it seems like every couple of months yet more rules and restrictions are appearing. I'm not exactly acerbic enough for DoD and i honestly can't take some of the comments that people give, but at least they are HONEST about it.

Then the server of Nest of Butterflies goes down for 'unscheduled maintenence' damn it! I seem to be cursed when it comes to forums. i NEED NoB to keep me sane, even if our members are few and far away. It's like a security blanket for me i guess. A way to keep in touch with those i don't like to bother on msn and arrange meets and rpg etc.

I REALLY want something to go right for me, feel like i'm slowly going mad here to be honest. My drawing skills have gone out the window as few as they are and i can't write and polymer clay is just going ikky atm, i can't take photos either as i have no camera now. If i don't create then i just get depressed.

OK rant over and i'm going to look at the pretty pictures in the 'best of bjd photography' on here...

On another note i'm slightly obsessed with resin and casting at the moment!
Going to cast my 1/3 head, hatters head and all my little bits. Also been researching into making my own 18 and 16mm acrylic resin eyes.

When i came home from germany it was one of the programs presented by him that helped me with my english.
I'm really upset to hear this, i will miss that lovely man so much. I hope his family are coping well.

Such a sad day.

Yes there are adverts which can be a huge pain in the arse but ffs at least they're more reliable than paying all that money for crap service.

If anyone knows how to upload and make templates available on phpbb3 please please help me out. I'm an idiot when it comes to phpbb, i've been so used to yabb.
Anyhow...new link to the forum (son damn blandly default):

Also reading a lot of Manga and really LOOKING at the art.

So many things to do still and time runs away with me.
Now i'm looking for tutorials to colour all the computer line art i'm making on Sai and want to try on Corel painter as well. Any ideas as the internet search hasn't helped.

Worth it though.

The Clapham Grand was exactly as i imagined a victorian theatre to be. It was love at first sight. Yes i love buildings...

I took shedloads of photos as my foot was killing me and i didn't feel up to dancing in my tent merangue. I met some amazing and lovely people including a couple of aquaintances from my local area and it was lovely to see familiar faces in a crowd i knew nothing about.

It's been over a week and i'm still knackered so i reckon another week for the sodding m.e to say ok, you can go do stuff again now.

I painted a little today, a backdrop for a piccie i have in my head, i also did some choreography for fan or fire fan (can't decide which) to a fantastic tune so when my foot is feeling better i'll see how it goes.

Wow, winter is really setting in now, time for many duvet days and ideas and writing.

Been sewing like a demon the last few days, i seem to have a knack for making Dollfie sized lined coats and jackets. The patterns all seem to end up too big for SD but almost perfect size for Feeple tall boys and just a smidge tight over a shirt on the DZ 70cm boys.

So all in all apart from a touch of disease i am pretty pleased with myself right now.

The light kept going and i was so shaky that most of the pics were blurry or just plain ikky.

i was trying to make a change from a fabric background to make things more interesting.
So today was a failure.
better luck next time.

i finally felt up to taking some photos and had some time today to take some.

After 20 minutes of moving furniture around and draping some of my dressmaking fabric over the back of the chair i was ready.
205 pictures later and they all look fab on the small screen . . .

After uploading i found out that they were all over exposed ><
Even Photoshop couldn't handle the gamma or brightness -__-
(plus the fact that i don't know how to use it.) So only around 10 pictures were tolerable.

Ahh well, learn something new everyday.
(like how to use the exposure setting on the damn camera. Not to mention it's already falling apart.)

Either that or damned Mephisto cursed the whole shoot!

Well all that knowledge and fabric has to go somewhere right?
I am really looking forward to the end of November now.
I don't normally get excited about these things but trogging of to london for a weekend of merriment with some friends will be great.

I find these things so inspiring, i hope i can take my camera, and the Alice set for official pics sounds amazing. Mabe i should take my cuddly white rabbit with me XD

I'm so totally inspired right now . . .i might go do some sewing!

I collect vampire movies

I adore fabric and colour, if i could drown in colour i would, House of Flying daggers and Hero makes me quiver the use of colour astounds me.

I used to be a wiccan, now, i'm not sure what i am . . .

I have no talents and i always wish i had known what i wanted to do when i grew up. Problem is I never have grown up.

I am suprised i like BJD dolls so much. I love mine to pieces, and i REALLY REALLY hate it when i have planned a character and name really hard and for a long time and then someone just does a doodle, names it the same as my character and then because they have a job and money, gets it before me. I feel like i do all the hard work for nothing, and NO it's not as simple as just changing things.

I wish i didn't have m.e and could work, no matter how hard i deny it.

My shoe size is a 4 and a half, i am 5ft and 1/2 an inch tall and i weigh too much ><

I always want the impossible, sadly, i am a hopeless romantic at heart -____-

It's so hard!
At least now i have progressed past the fish lips and monkey face stage, at least i hope so.
Some work in progress photos very soon.
I started to use grey sculpey as it's much firmer than the flesh colour and smells less as well, i seem to be finding it a bit easier to work with.

My sketching has suffered and i still haven't updated the gallery with some of my manga style pics. ah well.

Thanks to child-of-aros on here she got me a manga on a 3 for 2 offer. i would never have seen the artwork of this manga. And of course xxxmadhatter cos i would never have got into manga in the first place XD

Anyways, i just lay on the bed and doodled this and i still in shock over it. it's turned out better than anything i have ever done in my life.
I just need to practice how the manga-ka does her bodies and then i can do a proper body drawing.
Any advice is welcome ^__^

{ insert pretty pic of the support stamp XD }

Yeah, i might do this...
Expect lots of photo's of a kitten soon....baby animals are too cute to leave alone...

I managed to do some jewelery designs too which i may one day get round to making real.

After 5 days of managing to stay awake all day, today was a disaster...sneezing and headache and 4 hours later... @_@

mostly concepts for gothic style badges and t-shirt logos etc as well as my fave macabre victorian ladies.

I did a little more typing today, another part of the story falling into place. hopefully once all these notes are down i can then expand some of the skimmed over parts. i also want to do some doll art....either photos or drawings but i'm not good enough.

The only thing i have ever been good at is tracing elements of pictures and collaging them together before inking and colouring. how can that be considered art? it lacks the 'creation' element and is hardly original.

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Sleep deprivation is used as torture you know....12 years or so of this and i'm going crazy.

There is so much i want to do, sewing, drawing, painting and writing. It's hard to do anything when your eyes won't even focus...

I'm supposed to be writing about Uriel and Soubi, NOT Mephi!

on a plus note, while rooting for fabric to make some bjd clothes i found one of my old sketchbooks with my fairy and goblin sketches in. i shall scan some of them in tomorrow.

Thanks to all the nice people who friend, fave and leave comments! i never expect any you know. my stuff is just random junk i spout every now and again...

I cut out and made my BJD a white shirt. I was very pleased with the finish, much neater than my normal sewing attempts. it was also the first ever time i have set a collar onto anything!
so that's my first collar and my first lined bodice in 1 week.

I managed to take the dog for a walk in the gorgeous afternoon sun with mom and when i came back i felt inspired to write more, so i did.

So busy busy busy

I'm supposed to be teaching a dance class right now, but there was no one to get the key to the hall from.....
damn it, you think they'd be in wouldn't you.....grrr.

i suppose something good came out of it. I managed to finish off the writing i started this morning. Mephi has been demanding it....

He was so difficult to write. I always thought i'd be able to write pure evil, but it is much harder than i imagined.

i also must find the originals, for some reason all of the ones i found are strange sizes...

My fingers are beginning to itch to do some sewing soon too...

Eating too much sugar in one go makes me hyper....i'll never eat merangue at 11pm again! too much randomness and singing cheesy songs.......

and then after the sugar fall and the headache i get a bomb of inspiration! go figure and i wrote a few pages of random prose as well as posting in the new rpg i tried to set up @_@

I'm such a freak!

I spent another half hour or so setting up some dollie rpg on the forum and only about an hour in total all day actually on there....not like me at all.

Ate too much sugar today and had the mental sugar rush moment...shame nothing productive happened today.

Might do some writing tomorrow.....

I have a few more chibis to do today and i may get them inked as well. i really need to practice colour, i don't think my brushmarkers are very good. ah well, it'll keep me out of trouble for a few hours, and with the scanning in of old art work it should keep me busy most of today and tomorrow.
Must start uploading some of my poetry and writing as well.

Can't do any more of my bjd sculpting until payday in a week so i can buy some polymer clay to finish of the torso and legs for the bjd. God knows when i'll make a start on the 1/3 scale head...

Also been putting of photoshoots....i put things off FAR too easily!

So armed with a duster and a packet of anti-histamines i shall conquer the mountain.

Ugh, i hate all these people who keep buying bjds, i get so depressed being on benefit and having to pay almost half of it on bank charges....then they go on and on about ooo i bought a new one, that makes 3 this year... and i can barely affor to live on the £10 i have left a month. Why do people have to rub my nose in it. It's not like i can even do a part-time job... ><

Money is evil especially when you don't have any.

i might dig out some of my old stuff from school if it hasn't disintergrated in the portfolio. Lots of logo type things in there and even some 2000AD fan art somewhere...i always liked Judge Dredd and the PSI division..O the marvels of having an older brother who kept every issue he bought!

I really need to take more photo's too, especially of my BJD's, Jun is nearly finished, i just need his lavender eyes and then he's done (apart from a Soubi outfit but that will be when i get another 1/4 and make him a Ritsuka one)

Damn this bug thing i've got, takes away all motivation and concentration i have, especially after being sick so much. Hopefully it'll start to improve soooon!
