    2. I have my new Pupu Face Up done and there are about 6 or 7 pics I want to post --How many pics can we post in one topic before we get flagged?:whitetruffle
       
    3. I think it is only 1 pic per thread, still need to take a pic of my Roro for this new thread.
       
    4. Wovenflame: I will miss mr Magoo and Miss muffet too. :( I am so glad you did get another face for mr magoos body. We would miss you terribly here if you didn't have any realpukis left. So glad you are staying.

      Twiddle: YOu can post one photo here , but put a bunch in the gallery. You can start a thread there and put a link to it in here. Then we can go peek at all your photos. I can't wait to see what you did!

      kate2kate: Sorry I don't have any white skin realpukis. I can't help you.

      Derilan85: I would love to see photos of your kid!!!

      This isn't a great shot, but I don't think I posted it before. This was a shot of my fairy house before I finished decorating and putting grass and stuff around it.
      [​IMG]
       
    5. FAIRYHOUSE!!! (Drools:drool with envy and runs off inspired to work some more on those pesky stairs.)
       
    6. THANK YOU BOTH! I'll post one here tonight and then put something in the Gallery and come back and edit to supply the link - THANK YOU for all your help with what to do as well!

      Purplekaren That house is DELICIOUS!!
      My Puki's want to live there!!

      Ok, here is a shot of mt Pupu-- Still working on a name for her. The way I interpret the mouth sculpt is that she is shy or pensive and is curling the upper lip down and over the lower lip.
      So to me, there really isn't much of the lips to show.
      I kind of went into the bathroom mirror and did the same thing with my lips and thats how I came up with what I would do for my pupu.

      Like I said before my hands are still a bit trembly. My Pupu eyebrows suffered a bit. I am way off from the tight clean precision that was required of me in the Deco Studio where I worked for a collectibles company for years. I've also painted much smaller miniature faces for years, and so I am a bit disappointed with the lines, BUT I did manage to get my interpretation of her emotion, and what I felt the sculpt was trying to express, across.

      I'm also not the best digital photographer. I was trained on 36mm film cameras and these new ones get fuzzy or under exposed for me unless I go outside and its just TOO humid and hot here in August for me to spend much time out doors! I am SUCH an Amy! LOL

      So here is the one shot I am permitted here. (And here is a link to the Gallery Thread I made for her http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...First-Fairyland-FaceUp!&p=9339433#post9339433 )

      I have another one that has the factory painted Sleeping Face along side for comparison but chose this for the first look - I hope you lot like her :

      [​IMG]
       
    7. Well, poop! While I was perusing the previous thread, it got locked! Lol.. Guess I'll have to post my thanks to Summer-elf for posting the link to her RP pattern. It looks nice and simple and perhaps something even I can make. Thank you very much for posting it.

      Twiddle66, I think she looks fabulous! You may think the brow lines look shake-y and not that great, but I think they look perfectly fine. You've done a much better job than I could ever do.

      LM
       
    8. Twiddle66, that is such a sweet faceup...you really captured something wonderful in her!:aheartbea
       
    9. twiddle she is very sweet love the look you gave her! what are you planning to do for hair?

      mr tumnus wanted to make it to the first page so we quick edited one of his vacation pics, relaxing on a mushroom
      [​IMG]
      mr tumnus finds a mushroom by onebluestocking, on Flickr
       
    10. Thank You everybody! I really apprecaite your feedback so much!

      auntbear I am going to start making her a wig cap tomorrow-I want to make a pattern so I can make my own wig caps out of white fabric- then use acrylic paint and textile medium to paint the outer layer the same color as the wefts I will use. I am also going to build two magnets into the wig caps for my fairyland dolls--I love that they have thos magnets! I will be able to just click the wigs in place!

      I love the wild furry wigs many of you have- so I will also want to make her one of those sometheing spikey maybe, but I really want to make her some very "Lord of The Rings Elf Kingdom" type hairstyles--only shorter childlike versions of the styles--like what Galladriels (SP?) 5 year old daughter might look like. Or the little shoulder length sideswept hairstyles of the childlike fairies you see in 1920's artwork.

      I have not wefted hair laying around right now. I do have some rayon viscose that could be glued onto a wig cap. We'll see! LOL
       
    11. I LOVE MR TUMNUS! Those little freckles and his coloring are so SWEET!




      BTW -- I'm really going to Miss Mr McGoo! I hope whoever is adopting him is a DOA Member!
       
    12. Love your ideas, Twiddle66. You can post more than one picture of your little Pupu here, just not in the same post, and without posting consecutive posts with no one else posting in between. So you can post one picture, wait until a few other people have posted, and then post another photo. The thread itself ends up nearly a 1,000 posts long and I know for sure people do not post only ONE photo for the entire thread's length! So....One picture per post. No consecutive posts.
       
    13. magnets in wig caps, what i brilliant idea twiddle! i wonder why no one has thought of that before?
       
    14. I never though of magnets either and it is such a good idea. Your Pupu is precious Twiddle66, I appreciate all the good close photos you have posted of her. I look forward to seeing her with hair.

      I adore mr tummus. When I see Pupu as a boy I think I want one.

      PurpleKaren,
      everytime you post pictures of your house I find more things to see. I love the little bridge entry way and the furniture. There is so much detail.
       
    15. auntbear mr. Tumnus sure had a great fairy vacation! He is such a cute guy, I love his freckles.

      Twiddle66 I think you did a very good job on your Pupu's face up. And I like your idea of making a wig with magnets. Are you going to glue them to the fabric cap?

      Here's something new from me. I made a vintage-style outfit and Evan got to model it. Initially he is a boy, but from time to time he doesn't mind to play a girl's part too. [​IMG] Do you think he makes a convincing girl?

      [​IMG]
       
    16. purplekaren A wonder fairy house that I never get tired of seeing.

      Twiddle66 I love your little face up. I think you did great. I still need to whiten some RP teeth but not sure my hand is steady enough.

      auntbear Mr Tumnus look so comfortable. Great photo.

      Summer_Elf Evan looks just fine as a girl. Cute clothes. Tell me more about the shoes.

      I can tell this new thread is going to be good also.
      Brook
       
    17. Brook thanks, I made those shoes too.
       
    18. Oh my gosh Summer_Elf, this may be the most adorable outfit yet. Evan is a real sweetie for letting you dress him up.
      I love the boy realpukis so much. But then I start making clothes for Fern and I think, oh maybe I need another girl, girl clothes are so much fun to make. It is a tough choice.
       
    19. WOW this board moves fast. I wanted to comment on everybody and then I got lost. I know I can reply with quote but the post would be huge. So if I left anyone out it I apologize.

      PurpleKaren - That house is amazing. You are very talented.
      Twiddle - I found that pic (or one of them) on Flickr. Just too cute. On flickr I am DollyDetails. I think I made you a contact.
      AuntBear - The bright red on Mr. Tumnus really makes his cute face-up stand out.
      Summer_Elf I love the outfit. But really love the jacket. very cute. I wish I could sew.

      Katie
       
    20. Summer_Elf that outfit is adorable and the little details like the scarf and button loops are great!
       
    21. Summer_Elf I am impressed with the shoes. I made some felt shoes last night but your shoes look real
      Brook
       
    22. Purple Karen your fairy house is amazing. So creative. It's really magical. I'd love to shrink and play in it myself!

      Twiddle66 your Pupu is so sweet. Her face up brings out jher character. I like the idea of the magnets in the wig caps.Sounds very interesting.

      Auntbear Mr Tumnus looking so adorable, as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth there. I bet he gets up to mischief when you're not looking !

      Summer_Elf that is a wonderful outfit as I said on your flickr. The detail in a shirt that tiny has me in awr.


      It's been very hot here this weekend. I started making some wigs to open an Etsy shop. Pod wanted to wear one and be one of the girls. They all wantecd to be naturalists as it was far too hot for clothes! One thing I might add is that body blushing them makes them pose much better. The slight friction that the msc provides really helps those tiny arms and legs not to keep snapping back.

    23. EEEP! Cute overload! :)
       
    24. Cute! Cute! Cute! Keep the cute spam coming! I need cheer-up spam today!
       
    25. sherbet hee-hee what a cute picture :D
      I love the body blushing! It really makes their skinny bodies look chubbier.
      Those wigs are perfect too.
       
    26. PurpleKaren: I forgot to ask if you have any Interior shots of the house? I am dying to see the inside. I love the leaf roof!

      Summer_Elf: Evans Outfit is FABULOUS! And yes I think he makes a Great Gal! My Puki's all call me Miss Alice--because Puki's see people by their Hearts and not what they look like on the outside. I am actually a guy but none of them even seem to notice. They all call me miss Alice--even though my hands are DEFINATELY too big for Alice--they'd never have fit down a Rabbit Hole!

      Thats one thing I like about Fairyland and espcially the Realpuki's - they are all so gender neutral- you can do anything with them and I also like that gender roles don'e seem to be an issue in their world either because I have to be honest I have never felt it easy to adhere to them in the human world!

      The wig is beautiful too! Now that I am in the market for wigs in this size thats become very important to me! LOL

      And YES I am going to Glue the magnets onto the wig cap sfter it is sewn and on the head - so the edges of the cap will lay right where I want them to after I have the wig finished. I will put little discs of fabric over the magnets then so they won't be as noticeable and wont loosen and fall off later. Then I will paint the acrylic textile medium on and then I will glue hair or attach wefts as style dictates.

      Sherbet: I LOVE THE WIGS! Can't wait till you get that Etsy Shop going-- I'll be there! I don't like to make all my stuff- I like to collect! So even though I'll be making some wigs , it will never fill my need! Please keep us posted.

      As for the MSC and joints I can second that! I have used it on my Mui-chan when I did her body Blushing and was amazed how it helped with the "kick back". I do plan to use the MSC on my Realpuki's bodies and my Pukipuki's bodies too, but I am a little intimidated by some of the itsy pieces to their anatomy and I am afraid I won't put them back together right. They don't just have the gauntlet joints, but they have compound ball joints and the itty piece in the hip joint that slides into the groves-- well, I need to think about it a bit- but I really DO want to do it. I've restrund so many dolls of every size in my life that I am sure I probably can do it, but never strung a body that small that also had THAT many parts! Is it easy to figure it all out when putting them back together or did you just stay dilligent with keeping all the right and left bits seperated?

      They sure are CUTE! By the way--I play with my dolls- I am not one who paints them and then just stares at them---and I have to say I just LOVE the durability of the MSC-- I did Mui-chan over a year and a hlf ago-- and take her all over the place and redress and pose her daily and I haven't had any chipping or flaking of the MSC from the joints yet!


      EVERYONE: Thank You SO MUCH for your sweet comments about my FaceUP. I am Much more satisfied with it now after hearing from all of you. And DesertMountainBear-- I was pleased as Puki Poop to see your comment that I had retained their non-human- or unreal quality!! I was desperately hoping to keep them mystical without having to work neon ponys into their cheekblush! I want them to look nonhuman in the way that woodland creatures do-- like, if you were to find a REAL elf in the forrest - wouldn't it also have a natural feel? I hate when you go down the Barbie Isle and see the fairy dolls with rainbows painted on their cheeks or glittery stars painted on their eyelids to indicate that they are somehow mystical.

      Loki's Mom! Haven't I seen you over at the Mui-chan thread? Hmmmm- which Mui-chan was yours---CARLY??

      I'm trying to come up with names for my Realpukis now. And saturday my first Pukipuki arrived. I had to order Pongpong, so to keep me from busting wide open over the next 12 weeks until he arrives I bought an in stock doll now. I bought Chuchu because she looks like a closed mouthed Pong pong --or Pong pongs sister. She only was stocked with a face up and her faceplate hung over the back of the head a bit, but I got out my old handpiece and bits from the days in the resin tooling department and flushed out the faceplate to meet up with the back of the head and now I just need to deal with the facepaint. I am not sure how I want to go with her so will live with her a bit until I start to see her other self in my Alice Heart.


      ONE LAST THING/ Another Question!:
      I wonder why these BJD companies don't backlight the magnet sockets--or powdercoat enamel the magnets in a pale color before glueing in. Has anyone removed the magnets and put a bit of paint in the magnet socket to back light it so the magnet does not create that shadow in the thin areas? I want to try this. We used to do it on our prototypes at TFM and it worked great, but I never removed glued in magnets and so far have had no luck getting them out. I am guessing the glue is a cyanacrylite- like Zapa Gap or Crazy Glue? Has anyone tried removing magnets for any reason and if so what did you use? I think there is a crazy glue remover that might loosen the glue but how to get it into the joint!
       
    27. PoeticSoul: That was the idea. I know you get going when fairy houses are posted. I am DYING to see what you have done. I am chomping at the bit.

      Auntbear: mr tumnus is so adorable. I love that mushroom. They make some of the coolest photos. Would love to see more from your trip.

      Thanks. There isn't a bridge. I think you are seeing the chair with the rounded top, but you have given my an awesome idea. ;)

      SummerElf: You are really creative. You are lucky he is willing to model girl clothes for you! That outfit is really cool.


      Thanks Brook. I need to take some new photos to show the details better. Maybe one of my kids can give a house tour.

      kate2kate:Thanks. I didn't make the house but I did decorate around it and bought the furniture. The house was made by Julie Mclaughlin. She is really talented. I have ideas to make stuff like this but no time.

      Sherbet:Thank you so much! You are welcome to come over and play anytime you want to. I need to buy one of your wigs!!!

      Twiddle66:YOu really did an amazing job on the faceup. You did better that you thought. I love the eyebrows.

      A few of my friends got together today and brought a few dolls. My kids got to hang out with nancyme12's dolls. Our realpukis had a little fun. Sorry the picture is kind of blurry.
      Her kids are in the front and mine are in the background.
      [​IMG]
       
    28. Sherbet, it was about time for you to go Etsy! [​IMG] Good luck!

      Actually I was going to ask if you put the bodies apart for blushing. I surely could use some help with the kicky limbs.

      Re: the magnets - it was exactly what I always thought. Why don't they paint the magnets? Really curious about the issue.

      As for doing this afterwards: I think that the magnets are not glued but put into the forms and the resin ist poured around them. That would explain the differencies between individual feet/hands, as I can imagine how different it would be to place the magnets exactly in the cast. But I can be wrong.
      Anyway, if you put a paint on the magnet or the resin afterwards, you might have trouble in getting the magnets back in the place again, as there will be a thin coat of "something" between the surfaces. Maybe it could work if you put the resin parts into hot water and the magnets into a fridge for a while to shirnk. Maybe they would even stick together without glue after that - but you have to find a method of getting the pieces apart first. :)
       
    29. Thanks for kind comments. Re: the wigs, at least I think I will try an Etsy shop!! A lot of dolly folk have asked about my wigs, although I'm not sure I will be able to make that many to warrant a shop now I think about it. Will need to see how it goes but I'll certainly be selling a few, will keep you informed anyone who's interested.

      Purple Karen I just love your whole gang photo of your's and Nancy-me's RPs. They look like they had a party. reminds me of my kids parties when they were about 5 years old...mayhem lol. Would love my trio to come over and play in your adorable house but me being in the UK and you in New Jersey it will have to be on hold. Some day..you never know!

      Harey and Twiddle Re: Body blushing. No I don't take them apart at all. There's really no need. I stretch them open on their front front and spray with msc and let it dry. Then do the back the same and the sides. It's just crucial that it has dried before adding another coat. Parts where they snap back like the arms, front of elbows, I hold the arms open wide and spray and hold till they dry which is quite fast with msc. Also the joints around the top of the legs need extra attention so they can stand with their legs astride, and sometimes the neck needs help. You can't get the parts done in one spray so I hold open one bit till it drys then move it and spray another bit, if you see what I mean. Anywhere where they want to kick back gets extra help and more coats. Any part that continues to snap back I just give more coats till the issue is fixed. Sounds like a lot of work but really isn't. It can occasionally want to peel off in hard wear places like the neck but it's an easy fix. I clean off the msc totally on that body part (only) and re do. But the posing really does help. I found them just too frustrating otherwise and I think they look better.
       
    30. Twiddle66, the faceup is really great. Love the way you did the eyebrows. They are so hard to do.

      Summer_Elf,that is a fantastic outfit. She looks wonderful.
       
    31. I adore them with their bodies all blushed. Thank you Sherbet for the tip. I will be spraying mine.

      What a fun, fun, day you must have had purplkaren, with all those realpukis around. I have never seen so many together.
       
    32. Well I've ordered a new outfit for Bliss ( still waiting on her wig ) and some Sylavanian Families accessories which should be here in the next couple of days - and tonight I go to pick up her Treehouse :D
       
    33. Beary Tales, do you have a Flickr account, or another account where you keep your pictures? When you get your new things I would love to see them. Since you can not post lots of pictures here it is nice to be able to click on a picture and have it go to Flickr or where the rest of the pictures are.

      If you do not have one you can set one up for free.

      I found you on Flickr. Your pictures are great. Now I can keep up with Bliss and all of her belongings, and I will bet friends.
       
    34. Hehe, getting a Puki is like getting a baby. :D
       
    35. Sherbet:We did have a big group of realpukis. I had so much fun with all of them. It is too bad we aren't in "playing range" :( rats. Someday? It's fun to think about.

      desertmountainbear:I love when I can get together with dolly friends. I am glad I was able to get nancyme12 to come over to the darkside. ;) Just needed her to get that first one, and then you know what happens. :)


      Beary Tales:You are getting the tree house?! I am so jealous. I LOVE that treehouse. I hope you take LOTS of photos. You must be having a great time with her.
       
    36. And sometimes Harey, the "baby" arrives with a beard. >wink< ;) >wink<

      Though my new girl, Becky must leave soon for "Ban's Boutique", she wanted to drop in and show off her new dress.

      [​IMG]

      I find making clothes for my dolls always helps me to grow more attached to them. I was not too fond of the Popo sculpt when it first came out but this little one is really starting to grow on me. Somehow you just can't help but smile back at her! And with the customizations I've arranged for her I'm quite excited about her potential.
       
    37. Desertmountainbears - I will be sure to add more pictures of Bliss and the treehouse
       
    38. It's been ages since I have posted but have enjoyed all of the great pics of both the new sculpts & the old.

      My Mina thought it was about time she hopped on the new thread. She is having tea with her little buddy Caico this afternoon.....looks pretty happy about it too!

      [​IMG]

    39. FINALLY...Grannybelle's fairyhouse is complete.:) Here's a peek (it's difficult to photograph realpukis from that distance, but she wanted to show you the house in it's entirety.)

      [​IMG]
       
    40. Awesome fairyhouse Poeticsoul Grannybelle must be very happy!
       
    41. poetic soul that looks fabulous!
       
    42. Thanks so much!

      And now for a partial shot of the interior (the backside.) And there's a complete shot of the backside in the Homes for Tinies thread.:)

      [​IMG]
       
    43. [​IMG]

      It's not a good picture as its dark here, but here is the bare treehouse, I will post pictures on my Flickr account once the furniture arrives

      Bliss has a quick go of the swing and loves it :)
       
    44. Oh Jonlyn, Mina is adorable. You have some of my most favorite realpukis on Flickr. It is your Tyni's that have made me re-look at that sculpt and fall in love with him.

      PoeticSoul, Grannybelle's house is perfection, both inside and out. Her belongings fit perfectly in there.

      Wow! Wow! Beary Tales, I love this house. So many possibilities here. I can't wait to see what you do.
       
    45. Thank you desertmountianbear Your little one is so darling too & I LOVE the beautiful bears that you make. I so miss doing shows. Have you ever done a bear show? Sorry that we have never met. I am hoping to get back at it again & posssibly do what used to be the Linda Mullins show in Jan 13. My poor tyni (Keebler) has been sharing his body with someone new. Sweet little guy has been so patient....guess it is time I let him come uut & play too

      Love seeing these wonderful homes makes me feel like my poor little ones are sadly neglected as they only have a shelf for their home. I meant to tell you that Mina is named after my dear Grandma too Poeticsoul.
       
    46. purplekaren Great picture of your real puki get together. I wish I had nearby friend with bjd s

      Wovenflame Becky looks so nice in her blue dress and I like her bunny

      Jonlyn Mina does look happy. That must be great tea.

      PoeticSoul Fantastic!! I will have to study this picture for awhile to see all the details. It was worth all the hard work.

      Brook
       
    47. Poetic soul, your house is absolutely amazing, inside and out. I love the little front door you've made and the balcony that your Pupu is gazing out from is such a lovely detail.

      Jonlyn I love mina and caico. I just look the expressions on Minas and Caico's faces.

      Wovenflame. That's a very nice little blue dress.

      Bearytales, can't wait to see your treehouse all decked out.
       
    48. Thanks Brook & sherbet! Mina always makes me smile! Caico is also a character & I love him too. Hmmmm....maybe I should check & see just what they are making that tea from! They are asking for coconut milk next, well, Caico is a monkey after all.

      desertmountainbear~Awww I can't wait to see your littles one after they get all blushed!! I loved Sherbet's all blushed even in every crack;)
       
    50. Love your sweet little Mina, Jonlyn. She's so usual with that lovely white skin of hers! I never used to like WS dolls much but had a WS Juri '08 kind of choose me and she has helped change my mind.

      That is absolutely flippin' amazing, PoeticSoul!! What a wonderful achievement. I'd like to say that it has inspired me to make one of my own, but who am I kidding? I just don't have the patience and talent that you have! Grannybelle is one lucky gal. The interior is amazing too. I'll have to go check out the Homes for Tinies thread. Where did you find her lovely furniture?


      Bliss is probably already thrilled with her new place, Beary Tales, but rooms full of little furniture and accessories will be the crowning touch.

      Thanks Brook and sherbet. Becky wasn't quite satisfied with the dress as it was so I offered to add a small ribbon bow along the line of ribbon. Well! Let me tell ya....don't ever take your RP into the sewing room! Next thing I knew she had come up with a highly embellished version instead. Iridescent lace, beads, and embroidery. Now she's asking for hair ribbons too! Thanks a lot DaisyLady! Sheesh, as if she didn't have enough ideas of her own.

    51. I love this new furniture Fayette, I love all the little mosses that are tucked all in the cracks. It's just what I imagine in my mind when I think about them living somewhere in a stump.

      Wovenflame
      , I am think about the book "When You Give a Mouse a Cookie" I think Becky must have read it, and now there will be no end to her wants. Of course though what little girl doesn't need hair ribbons. She is so sweet, I have always really liked Popos' sweet mischievous face.

      I have blushed Soso's and Popo's bodies, and Sherbet is so right, they are not near as jumpy as they were. The MSC really helped. Thanks for the tip Sherbet.

      And on an off topic note: Jonlyn I did two shows this past year. I think I am done. It keeps me offline for too long of a time. Ebay works well for me.

      Please let Keebler make an appearance here. Did you do his face? I am in love with it.
       
    52. I've read that book! >grin< It's not just that though. DaisyLady keeps popping in over at Flickr to give the girl all these bright ideas. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up!

      Here's "hair ribbons" as requested.

    53. Wovenflame She's adorable with her hair ribbons:aheartbea


      Loving everyone's realpuki's! Hoping to be able to come out of lurkdom soon...Beittoven is getting lonely!
       
    54. Oh yes, I can see how happy she is that you have given in to her ribbon request ;)
       
    55. Thank you for all the lovely comments on my fairyhouse! It is very much appreciated...and now that it's finally done and Grannybelle has happily moved in, I can relax for a bit and just enjoy all that hard labor. I must say I truly appreciate all the hard work miniaturists put into their craft! And fayette2009, I'm talking about you because that twig furniture is sheer perfection!;)

      purplekaren, that photo of your crew and all their pals is wonderful! It's so much fun to see so many realpukis together.:)

      Beary Tales, that tree house is amazing...even empty! I can just see realpukis having a great time there. I can't wait to see it with furniture too...those empty rooms have such fun possibilities for these little ones.:D

      Jonlyn, I think it's so incredibly sweet that your wonderful little Mina is named after your grandmother too! What an amazing tribute because she has such an amazing faceup and styling that are so special.:aheartbea

      Wovenflame, your gorgeous little girl is so cute...no wonder she wants to glamour-up her wardrobe to make it as cute as she is! And to answer your question about Grannybelle's furniture, I first found the wardrobe and dresser being given away right here in the DoA marketplace (only paid for the shipping...such a great find early on a Sunday morning.):) That gave me the pink color...so I made the bed out of pieces of picture frames from the dollar store and painted it to match. Then I stumbled across that wonderful chair and ottoman on Etsy...with a matching pink stripe in the upholstery.
       
    56. OH MY GOSH! THis fairyhouse is HEAVEN! The outside makes me think of a Fairy Arc--like it could float if need be! The inside makes me DROOL! I wished you lived next door so I could come and play!
       
    57. Great furniture fayette2009. I too like her in ws. Have her open eye fp too but rarely use it. I have 2 more soso in ns. Like you Wovenflame, one ws stole my heart but it was my ws Banji who came long before the RPs.

      I was blessed with a storybook Grandma poeticsoul Warm homemade cookies & a cuddly lap to feel so safe & loved in. Miss her & think of her every day even though she has been gone for many, many years now.

      Shows are tons of work but so much fun too.....maybe we will meet at one someday desertmountainbear.

      Here's an old pic of Keebler & Jax right after they came back from Winternight's spa. I love her work & she did Mina's face up as well.

    58. Jonlyn:Mina is so sweet. I haven't seen many white skin realpukis on here. Yours is so pretty. I love her faceup. Her buddy Caico is very cool.

      PoeticSoul:HOly smokes!!!!!! It is absolutely amazing. I can't believe what a wonderful job you did. :abow: NOw I see why it took you so long. All that amazing detail. I love the staircase on the outside going to the top. The turret is really cool. That is going to be great for Halloween photos too. I love the balcony, the fence around the yard. The wood looks wonderful and warm since you sealed it. So cozy and warm for your kids. I love the pink furniture. The chandelier? I see why it took you so long. Love love love. Now my kids want to come stay at your house!

      Beary Tales:Oh man...so many possibilities with that. It's going to be so much fun. I can see that swing being fun for her!


      brook:Thanks. I am lucky I have a few friends that live close enough to visit, but most are really far away. What state are you in?

      fayette2009:Oh my! The furniture turned out great! You can use my stuff for ideas any time you want. You improve and make the stuff better!!! I might "borrow" some ideas from your flicker. I was just looking there and drooling...Thanks again.:aangel:

      Wovenflame:I am loving your new Becky! I am so glad you kept a realpuki! I love your photos!

      Jonlyn:Keebler and Jax are just beautiful. I have never seen them. I hope you post more photos of them. They are stunning to look at.
       
    59. Thanks purplekaren! So happy that you like my wee family...there are a couple more that I will have to get some photos of one of these days. Jax is the same little guy that is in my avatar. I think he looks so different in the earlier pic as they had just gotten back from their face ups & I was trying different hair on them both. He now has a great wig that he even shares with some of the other boys now & then!
