I like the kitty on the pillow and the silver flowerpot(?) and the little Danbo made me smile.
Thank you for your comment, Alliecat! I also prefer kits, but so many kits are Victorian based style furniture.. I love it for many dolls it is flattering, but that is not the style I need for this particular doll so.. have to hand make out of necessity.... The cat is just a little keychain charm and the silver flowerpot is actually a laser-cut puzzle!! I used to have to sell these at toy conventions and I really loved how elegant they look. They are various scales but you can find them in many educational toy sections or book stores (or amazon) this potted plant is actually a miniature tree: http://www.fascinations.com/metalearth/m...-palm-tree

You did a great job showing his character with your choice of props, and the way you turned the case into a display for him is genius!Thank you Kitten-squid for your kind comment! I like to work backwards from having a space or box to use~ but now the trick is keep it from getting cluttered haha.

Fishy, thank you for the comment! The Kaidan-dansu and the little lanterns are from a wood kit in Japan call "Can Do Wood Craft" (http://www.cando-web.co.jp/blog/wood/), unfortunately it looks like the line was short lived... I tried to glue first and stain after, but the wood glue I used, despite saying it can be stained on the label.. doesn't take the color well.. so I'm in trouble or going to see how much sanding and re-painting I can do.. Either way, it's a cute little addition! I'm glad it's not too small, as most of these wood kits are around 1/14 scale.

Thank you very much for your comment, Offgenemi! I'm trying to fit his mood based on his room shown here ... even though I'm basing off a pre-set image, I want to have some fun things in there too haha. Pets and special pillows or books haha.
