PrettyTiny Film Company -- random pix (Sept. 7)

[Alliecat]

Aww, thanks so much! 
I'm thrilled to report that "On Our Way to the Rally" got first place in the PUDDLE photo category.  Funny cos I thought the 80s sisters had the better chance.  You just never know what judges are gonna like.

A few more pix of Abbi with the yellow flowers, from my pic-a-week shoot.  I had to mow the other day; some of the grass was a foot high and it was going to rain.  I did leave a few patches.
Blackflies ruin shooting outdoors.  I had to do these in kind of a hurry, and then gave up on more.

Very beautiful. Looks like calendar photos.

Very nice posing. There’s nothing “doll like,” all the poses look relaxed and natural.

The selective focus among the flowers has a cool retro 1970 vibe!

The costume and hat are extremely pretty and nicely detailed. Is that the stock outfit for this Dolly or did you assemble the perfect summery wardrobe for her? Is that a tiny cameo on her hat?

Congratulations to you and your little wayfarers for your success in the PUDDLE photo competition.

Did PUDDLE already happen, or will you need to go in person to bask in the honor and the glory?

[Alliecat]

Thank you both
Probably one of this set will get into next year's calendar.
Yes, it's Abbi's stock outfit, and it is indeed a wee cameo.  It has already had to be glued back on once, and fortunately did not come off outdoors.
PUDDLE was at the beginning of June.  It was fun the 2 times I went, but it's really ex$pensive for just a weekend so at the moment it's not too likely I'll go again soon.  Wish it was closer.

I sure haven't been taking many pictures, and even the one-a-week has been a struggle lately.  I haz a funk 
But Yuki arrived this week, brightened up the tough slog and gave me a mental-health afternoon out.
Welcome to the PTFCo crew, Yuki!


"What's this?"
"I dunno...  Do you hear something...?"



"Whoa!"
"Um, hi."



"Look, she brought a pet."
"There's another critter in here too."
"That's nothing -- there was a SPIDER in MY box when I arrived."



"I'm Samantha, and this is Red.  Welcome!"



"We got a sister!!"



"I wonder what adventures I'll have here."








Teaser for adventures to come:

[davidd]

 Oh, that's right, there was a spider that accompanied Red in her shipping container! That was so funny!

Yuki is a cutie; if anything, she has more of a scowl than most Dals, although her scowl makes her look fierce rather than grumpy!

I see Yuki has already passed the "first test" to become a permanent resident: balancing on the porch railing without falling off and cracking her head open!

Once she learns she's been adopted in to a den of pirates, I suspect Yuki will be delighted with her new home! Let the mischief and mayhem commence!

And falling over on the beach.  Several times, because it was windy.  I said, "Don't worry, Yuki, everybody falls..." 

Photodump!
Here are some more pix of Yuki from her first outing to the beach.


"Wow, look at this!"






"Are there dinosaurs here??!"









"Look, Rose, there's lots of room to run."



I think it's hilarious that the fierce warrior-girl has a floofy pink poodle as a pet.















Found a snail.



She didn't come with her stock weapons but we have plenty of swords!

[davidd]

Perfect weather and a sunny day and no other people on Dinosaur Beach! Looks like a great day to me!

Plus -- swords!

Yuki looks to be quite an accomplished adventurer already, ready to stake her claim to her new island home!

Is this the "fifteen minute drive" beach, or is this one closer?

[Alliecat]

This beach is about 15 minutes away.  It's the longest one for walks/runs.


Some photos of Catherine with my only butterfly model for the year.
Her hair is such a mess, and she hasn't even been out that much.  I have so many dolls that need a hair-spa day.  That's just one of the things on The List for When Life Is Different.  Anyway, it was nice to get a few pix outside on a relatively quiet day with relatively few mosquitoes.  Quite a challenge with really fast-moving late light between the trees.




















Robyn was supposed to be posing with the second hatchling, but he was ready to go as soon as I took him out, and he had quite a good long first flight up into a tree.  So here's Robyn anyway.  She kinda looks like she's watching the butterfly leave in the first pic!

[davidd]

Effectively posed "walking" pics with Robyn! Looks like a nice time, out gathering some of the last wildflowers of the season.

Butterfly No. 1 seemed amenable to posing! Although maybe it was hungry and was eyeing those flowers in Catherine's hair!
