~dargosmydaddy's a-doll-a-week 2023~

[dargosmydaddy]

Figured I'd better jump in on day one before I could talk myself out of it...

Week one!

[davidd]

Okay, she's totally gorgeous! What a fantastic start to another year of... it's gonna be A Doll A Day this year, right? 

Oh, wait... your title says "A Week." Well... just wait 'til you get warmed up!

Glad to see you tackling another "A Doll A..." project!

I can totally relate to the "before I could talk myself out of it." I've been having that internal dialogue for a while now.  

Is this a stock hair and eyes, or is she a custom?

Is this a stock hair and eyes, or is she a custom?

The eyes are stock, but not the wig.

[Alliecat]

Yay!!
Glad you will be doing ADAW again
She has lovely colour coordination -- as is usual with your crew -- and that's a neat wig!

Week two
Took this last Sunday, and then my batteries died and I was too lazy to change them. Finally did that today, and discovered all the pictures were extremely glare-y/ overeosed, so making it black and white made it slightly more interesting to look at. Anyhow, here are Henri and Harper, who were my very first Dals.



Week three
Roxy in a tree

[Alliecat]

Ha! love the Farscape shirt. Is that one you made?
I just love Roxy's faceup. She's so cute.
The evergreen branches make this photo look warm and not-wintery.

If you are using AAs, I can recommend rechargeable Eneloops, especially if you have a battery-eating camera. Ex$pensive but you won't have to keep buying batteries.

[davidd]

Roxy is cuuute! She reminds me of Cindy-Lou Who from the Dr. Seuss story, with her blonde hair that curls at the tips and those big eyes!

Yeah, I'm all too familiar with the "convert to B&W to save a bad ex-posure" technique!

And with the can't-be-bothered-to-change-the-batteries malaise.

Week four
Shadows. Wind. No snow... yet...

[davidd]

Wind... as evidenced by his wild hair! I like that look!

[Alliecat]

A little bit of winter sun is always a treat.

[dargosmydaddy]

Week five
Not a very inspired photo, but here we are...

[Alliecat]

She’s so pretty. The black hair, pale skin, and gray eyes are very striking.
I really like her cute little jacket and top.

[davidd]

The lovely eyes are sufficiently engaging that additional "action" is not required for this image to make an impact.

Week six
No longer frigidly cold, so we ventured outside...

[Alliecat]

Ahhh, no snow in sight! She is also really pretty, and what a cute shirt.
I like her hopeful ex-pression.
