davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

A whole game of mini golf for $7 sounds pretty good, even with the exchange.

And that's for 18 holes, too!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

[Alliecat]

Cute! And I know how tricky setups get with multiple dolls. This is a fun photo.
Where do you get the shoes?

Where do you get the shoes?

evilBay, o' course!

I got the ones I have a year or two ago. Prices vary by seller and over time, so it can pay to keep watching. I think the ones I have cost me $8 a pair.

A sequel of sorts to the 28 January pic:

Gravity is Such a Nuisance

[dargosmydaddy]

Great sense of movement!

[Alliecat]

She seems pretty poseable too.
Have you tried making any "blaster effects" yet??

[davidd]

Have you tried making any "blaster effects" yet?? 

Not yet. I lack your Photoshop skillz. I don't know if there's a way to do something like that using Comic Life. I should give that some thought.

Members of The Scientifantafiction Society discuss possibly literary influences on the Star Wars saga:

[Alliecat]

Haha. I reallly need a laugh this afternoon.
I'm confused too... now.

[davidd]

I'm confused too... now. 

I was confused all the way through that silly Lord of the Rings trilogy. The characters change their names every few pages. Even their swords and tools have names, and the names of those change, too.

One never knows what Triv and Janie might drag home on rubbish pick-up day. This time it was a Travelers Palm plant. Travelers Palms spread prolifically once established, and one of the neighbors a block over had set a root cluster out for "green waste" pick-up.

After dividing the root ball, the girls planted two separate plants. The roots exhibited considerable damage, but the girls hope that with regular watering, these two plants might become sufficiently re-established to survive.

[Alliecat]

Wow, someone threw that away!? Yay for rescuing plants. I can never throw out something that has a chance of growing. Looks like you scored with that one. A bit late now, but some rooting powder would help. I suppose you could always scratch some into the soil.
Great action shot as usual of the girls working.

I liked LOTR. I don’t remember a lot of name changes…? But, it’s been a while.

The books, or the movies? I haven't seen the film versions, but my understanding is that the film-makers added additional characters -- like there weren't enough already -- and maybe combined some of the minor characters in to "composite characters."

If you ever feel ambitious enough to read the Icelandic mythology saga called "The Prose Edda," you may recognize the roots of "Lord of the Rings."

16 February - Photo-Story: Behind the Scenes

[Alliecat]

Always fun to see behind the scenes.

I liked the books & movies both, but, my memory's a bit shot these days and it's been a while. And I'm not very coherent this week

Triv Clears a Blocked Drain

Those of you who have followed Trivia and Jane's adventures for a while know that clearing drains is nothing new to them. This time, however, Triv noted that the clog was much yuckier than usual!

[Alliecat]

I must be getting a little bleary-eyed; I first read "clog" as "dog", and indeed it does look like someone's been washing dogs in the tub
Another cute and very realistic pose; I like the little touch of her hat being a bit crooked.

No dogs here. I don't know where all that glop came from, but it was icky!

Eldritch Tome

A book? A doll-sized book? Could this be the start, the beginning, a tentative first step toward my long-held goal of creating a miniature haunted library?

Well... it's probably just a book. A single book. Because considering how long it took me to make it, and how crudely it turned out (hence the over-processed photograph), yeah, uhm, an entire library likely remains a fantasy project.

[Alliecat]

Cool book. Wow, you made that? It looks pretty good to me.
Is it a spell book?
I need some spells.

Cool glasses too.
