Vivi in the snow

Before I post photos, I must say this session I had some silly hiccups before I took the photos…

First, I forgot keys to the door, couldn’t get out… Then I realised I don’t have battery in my camera, and third, I don’t have memory card… THEN I realised the battery I took with me from upstairs, was drained… (LOL!!!!) I think there’s more stuff which I forgot to do before I could actually successfully take any photos, so I ran up and down the stairs more than 5 times to get everything in order :P

Anyways, hope you like the photos!
Disclaimer, no dollies or snowman was harmed in the taking of these photos ^^;

A very special girl is here for a visit :D

It’s Daisy and Clover! Her current “mommy” dropped her off as a very wonderful surprise last weekend :) I am so happy to have her visit ^O^ They visited in a “capsule box” ;P First look at her again after such a long time! I am bursting with happiness!

I have to make her some new clothes and take her out for pictures when I have time ^^;;;; been too busy this year =_=;

Nendoroid “damage” at work

I work at a friend’s shop once a week, today they had a new shipment… Could I resist the Nendoroid?


Can you say no to this knife face? No. ^^;

My friend’s Ryu comes to save the day….

Ryoko versus Ryu ROUND ONE, FIGHT!

Ryu: Hadoken!

Ryoko swiftly and gracefully dodged the move, so Ryu tries another move… Stinky Foot!

Ryoko: Ewwww! *Ryu’s leg drops off on cue*

Omake ^^;
Hadoken versus sharp knife, who will win?

Before actual shooting started, Ryu lifted some weights to buff himself up ^^;

Non related stuff:
Some nifty shipment came in, which included this Batman & Bat-Pod figure thingie, I felt the artwork looked familiar and it turned out it IS my favourite artist Masakazu Katsura’s work ^^; Feel so dumb for not realising it sooner :P (as in the moment I saw it)

fan girl squeeaaallll :P

Kakoii!!!

Near end of the day I borrowed this from my friend (aka boss).. Difficult game desu ^^; I cannot get the last piece right lol other attempts resulted in a few pieces misfited ^^;

Thanks for peeking ^^/!

Tutorial: Halloween Paper Hand Puppets

Wow time flies, it’s Halloween already! I still recall the first Halloween tutorial post which was inspired by puchicollective. :) This year, I have a simple one to share too!

For this small tutorial, you will need to have access to a colour printer (preferably), paper, scissors and craft glue or double sided tape.

This template will fit blythes, Licca and dolls with similar sized hands.

1) Save this template onto your computer, and print it out using a picture editing program.

Hagu gets a new body

I came across a friend’s flickr photo and realised that the obitsu body has a new type of body, and I liked what I saw, so I bought a couple off ebay to sample. ^^

http://puppy52.com/temp/x/2007/0210/hagu/IMG_5245hagu_manga.jpg

After some thinking, I decided Hagu (my Honey and Clover “fan art” doll) would be the new recipient of the new 25 cm body ^^! Just realised that her blush had faded a bit over time (oops) hope to find time to reapply soon ^^

So here are some comparison pix of the new and old body:
The new body has soft bust and torso, the latter I didn’t know about so it was a surprise. My only concern with soft rubber parts is sometime they tend get stained by dark clothing easier. But that hasn’t happen yet — I rarely put dark clothing on my dolls.

My older obitsu body came with a bald head, some neck parts which I never use, and some spare hands, the new body comes with a couple neck parts and a few hands as well. I think the older type of body these days do not come with the head anymore — from my most recent search on ebay.

Different elbow joints – the new joint is easier to bend for elbows, but for knee it’s a bit harder to bend to desired positions.

Front of knee joints

Side of knee joints – I noticed that the older body has more visible seamlines compared to the new one.

Similar pose ^^

Hopefully this entry is for some help for people who are considering to get obitsu body for their dolls. Thanks for reading!

Nendoroids outting part 2

Continuing from my earlier news post on dannychoo.com, we bring you more pix from the great outdoors with my current 2 Nendoroids…

Haruhi don’t lick the berries! (Nendoroids are quite a handful huh — or maybe it is just Haruhi?)

Oh noes Pastel ink is lost?!

Pastel ink couldn’t find us for a moment and she got really upset…

Thankfully she managed to find her way to us, cheered up very quickly lol

Trying to find some people around… Too bad they’re too busy to be curious lol

Near by is the fountain which is always on, even in winter ^^;

Too bad Pastel ink is a bit washed out/blurry in this one, was using a smaller point and shoot to take some blind shots ^^;

Pastel Ink, stay still for a picture! :P

Don’t wander off without telling me okay?

I like how it seems like Haruhi is directing Pastel ink chan to look at the camera lol

Constant balancing act

Near the end of the photo session came across this… Hippie car? Pastel ink chan was not very willing to go too near it, she told me she saw doll legs on the car o_o;
