davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

[neon_jellyfish]

Triv is really good at all this building and remodeling and other DIY stuff, isn't she?

[davidd]

Your dolls are very handy. Genuine Smart dolls!

If they can manage to be productive and helpful, I might stop fretting about how much they cost.

For all your concern about making them look natural, you always seem to do it as you did here.

The trick, I've found, is to sneak up on them when they're distracted. When they sense the presence of a camera they tense up and look unnatural.

I like the 'behind the scenes' shots as well, and how you make your sets out of 'junk' & leftovers.  looking forward to seeing the rooms after they've been upgraded.

The "simple" upgrade project is becoming more elaborate and time-consuming than I ekspected it to be. Each little thing that I wanted to fix requires several other little things to be fixed first. Perhaps if I were to use better quality materials to begin with rather than raiding the rubbish and recycling bins, this would not be as much of an issue.

It looks so casual, like you've just randomly caught her at work in the middle of a project

That's exactly what happened. 
I appreciated that she was conscientious enough to cover the floor while she was painting.

Well, she's better at it than I am, at least. She seems to have a fair amount of patience for the tedious detail work.

28 April – Janie (Smart Doll Harmony) helped Trivia and Yasmin with the room box project today

[Elfy]

You’ve got a whole work crew on the job.

[neon_jellyfish]

It's great that so many of them joined the project. It will allow them to appreciate their rooms even more!

Janie looks a bit surprised by the camera there. She clearly did not ex.pect to be bothered when she was working.

I agree with neon, surely working on the project will let them all appreciate the rooms more.

Well, don't we all; I mean really...

Another cute shot; I bet they could have some fun(??) with that great big glue bottle!

What's that old saying? Something about many hands make for more opportunities to screw things up?

It's great that so many of them joined the project. It will allow them to appreciate their rooms even more!

More likely, it will give them reasons to nitpick their own rooms and whine about why they're not as good as the other girls' rooms.

The photographer was similarly surprised, and did not ex.pect to see Janie working!

I don't think it's the right kind of glue.

29 April – Monster High Scarah Screams 

[DeadlyNova]

I really can't possibly go back and catch up on the two months I've missed, but the last couple of photos are stunning!

Don't worry, you didn't miss much. I have been in a bit of a slump myself, and have only been getting back to posting more interesting photos over the past few days.

[Alliecat]

Very spooky... I thought of a deserted street in a mystery movie...

What's that old saying? Something about many hands make for more opportunities to screw things up?

Hahaha, that feels like what I've been dealing with over the last few months. I must remember that one.

I don't think it's the right kind of glue. 

HA! And I was just thinking about them getting into a mess and covered with glue!

[Elfy]

Another MH I never saw here. I like her coat.

[werepuppy]

Scarah looks a bit lost. I hope she finds her way.

Your set pieces are so creative

[neon_jellyfish]

I love Scarah's eyes! Although, I think I could imagine a bit scarier banshee... Great lighting!

Very spooky... I thought of a deserted street in a mystery movie...

Oh, good! That's the effect I was going for!

Another MH I never saw here. I like her coat.

Yes, the "pleather" (plastic leather) jacket is very mod!

Scarah looks a bit lost. I hope she finds her way.

Scarah is in her element roaming the city at night. She'll be all right.

You're right, Scarah looks fairly un-scary here. But with moodier mood lighting she can appear quite disturbing.

30 April – GI Joe Action Interior Decorator

[werepuppy]

GI Joe being all in shadow... Pretty spooky
