PrettyTiny Film Company -- Alliecat's crew -- Happy Halloween

[Alliecat]

Still here, still doin' pix.

I'm very 'behind' in sorting photos.  Here are Poppy & Daphne with the last of the 3 butterflies I had this year, taken near the end of August.























We put the girls' little friend on a tree till the morning as she wasn't really ready to fly yet.


A couple of quick pix of Natalie today.






I don't think the tiny pumpkins will be ready for Halloween!

Tiny ghost pumpkins for Halloween!
Will the growing season last a bit longer yet, so you might get a mature pumpkin in November?
Below-freezing temps in the forecast here for this coming week.

It's always fun to see your butterfly pix!
Did you have milkweed growing on your property this season?

[Alliecat]

No, I don't have any milkweed.  I brought some from Ontario when we came but the deer ate it within a few years.  It doesn't grow here outside of a few people's butterfly gardens.
The thermometer hit zero last night.  That's the end for the ground cherries and the pumpkin vine.  They are not really any bigger than when that was taken and they're yellow.  IF they ripen on a windowsill, I might get a soup.  No freezable puree unless I buy one again.  And I still have puree from the last one.


I took Sofia to the shore for a few late-light pix.  Alas, 2 hours after high water was already too late and I didn't get all the shots I wanted, and also standing on slippy rockweed over sharp rocks hand-holding both doll & camera is not really conducive to sharp photos.  Guess I'll have to go again, but it's getting cold these days 
Also, shooting on location with her is reeeealllyy scary because she has SO many little bits & pieces to lose.  Dropped her dagger a couple of times, and a tiny little magnet about 1mm across from her compass pouch popped off.  Fortunately it's shiny and I found it in the rockweed.  Going on the fixit list for when I open the Krazy Glue!
Anyway, here she is.

[davidd]

I particularly like that second shot, sitting on the rock looking out to sea. The eksposure worked well on that one.

I can't believe you managed to spot the tiny magnet among the rocks and weeds! Good eye!

Yeah, the 1/6-scale figures photograph well outdoors, but present an extreme challenge due to their many small pieces and relative fragility.

[TrueFan]

I also particularly like the 2nd, and the fourth!

[Alliecat]

Thanks, both.  I'm so glad I got her when I did.  I randomly got a promo e-mail from Giantoy this week, and I was curious whether she was still available.  Their search function didn't work, so who knows.
Also, the ONE time I write a post here instead of Notepad & paste, the forum ate it.
Let's try this again.

----------------

The camera loves Flora... she's sooo cute.  I'd still love to know who made her.  I'd also like to get her a new body because [insert long rant about T2 bodies, especially hands, who tf thought that was a good design??!] but it would have to fit her outfit.
Here she is with the last dahlia flower, salvaged after the plants got frosted.



























Thanks for looking

BBK Pirate Sophia appears to be sold out at Giantoy. The figure is still available on eBay via sellers based in China for more or less the original retail price.

Giantoy has a pre-order for a pirate-esque (or maybe a highwayman) female figure called Lady Maria:

It is rather eggspensive, as are most figures these days, and has molded hair rather than rooted hair.

Flora is indeed lovely. When you say "who made her," do you mean she is a custom as opposed to being a stock release? She looks quite elaborate. Those hair ringlets are really something, plus having roses entwined in the hair.

I do not think I have ever seen a T2 body. Those joints do not look familiar. Yes, if the custom costume is form-fitting on the body, finding a body that would work might be problematic unless you could see other bodies in-hand. Sounds like maybe a trip to PUDDLE 2027 is in order!

Ooh, I like her outfit.  Doesn't sound like a particularly nice character though, from what I looked up.  For a figure at that price I'd probably want actual hair...

Yes!

You haven't missed anything

A weee bit belated, but, at least I got them done ON Halloween!
Could not get a pineapple this year, wah.


The cat-themed crew members.



Minis' Halloween dance party.
This was photo #5555 on Flickr.  Appropriately, our founding member and CCO* is in it.

And, a few of the J's.

Getting better at this light-painting thing... just 7 takes for the minis & 4 for the J's 

[davidd]

The light painting worked out really well. I love the appearance of these photos, just slightly darker lighting with a lovely warm glow from the pumpkin and the string lights.

I, too, intended to carve an Aloha'ween pineapple-o-lantern this year. I even purchased a pineapple, but I got distracted, let the pineapple sit for too long, and the pineapple top dried out and the fruit got hard on the outside and squishy and smelly on the inside.

I guess I just wasn't feeling the All Hallows vibe this season.

Your pix are fun. I like the poses of the J's. They look very action figure-y!
