4. Which doll have you had the longest? How long has it been?
Satoshi, he was the first doll I got. He's been with me for 6 years.

5. Which doll is your favorite?
I realized I get more attached to the dolls I spend a lot of time modding and customizing. My current favorites are Vlad and Mischa, I always find myself taking photos of them and giving them loads of attention. It might also be because their characters are very dear to me.

6. Are you waiting on any dolls now? If yes, which one(s)?
Nope.

7. What is your grail doll?
I had 3, now just two are left: Delf Breakaway OE 05 and Super Gem Dia boy.

8. Did you learn to do something new because of this hobby? (e.g. photography, painting, sewing)
I got into photography because of this hobby and I also got better at painting, sculpting, sewing.

9. Have you made any friends you might otherwise not have because of this hobby?
Yup. I am as shy online as I am in real life and find it hard to just start talking to people, unless they start the conversation, but I made one of my best friends because of this hobby.

10. What are your doll plans for this coming year?
None. No more dolls for me until I move to a place with more space. No bodies, no heads! Just make clothes and figure out what to do with the heads.

Personal Favorite Photo of 2013

Not like the others

 Ever since birth,  Rose was never fully accepted by the other demons. Something about his hair being too vibrant, his eyes too bright, his kind and loving nature, it all made them hate him from the get-go.

Clingy Rose

I thought I have posted this. I am so scatter brained lately.
Here are some photos of Rose bothering Vlad while he's trying to rest :D

Rose

He is complete ♥
The moment I put the eyes and wig on him I fell in love with him all over again. I didn't expect him to turn out exactly like I imagined.
Photos and story....

6 years later

I can't believe it's been 6 years since I got my first doll, a DOC Limited Elf Ivan, Satoshi.
I remember the day so clearly. My hands were shaking so badly, all photos I took turned out blurry, luckily I had two friends over and one took decent photos.
I've learn how to restring on him... the first time were a bloody disaster. I had to redo his face up twice because I needed him to be just right. He's got many chips and dents over the years, yet to me he is extremely precious.
Looking at him always brings a smile to my face.

Lovely freckles

 The freckled beast and his baby brother. Ugh I love these two so much! Look at them and their freckles. I am so proud of myself for their face ups ☺

Sand and camels

Damie just loves going on adventures ☺

Just hanging around...

He doesn't get enough attention, but I love both the character and doll so much. He is very special to me, so I decided to take some photos of him despite the fact that his eyes and wig are completely wrong and he has no body of his own.
Haruka is sad that he can't see either of his best friends right now so he just hangs around my room.

Pajamas

 Precious little Mischa. He loves to stay in bed, in his pajamas and daydream or spend his time listening to his favorite bands and "fangirl" over them. If it were after him he'd only wear pajamas and never leave the house.

Traveling by human part 3

 

Day 2, we went to see my other grandma for lunch.
