PrettyTiny Film Company -- Alliecat's crew (May 15)

[davidd]

I'm not sure why the photos aren't showing up, but the links to Flickr work.

Original Liddle Kiddles! I think they were a pretty major fad for a while, but when they disappeared, they seriously disappeared! Once in a while a pic of a vintage Kiddle pops up on Flickr, like once every several years, and I'm reminded of them.

I'd forgotten just how tiny they are.

The mossy setting looks appropriate for them, like they are little fairy forest creatures or something.

I think you really do live in a Fae Forest. Or what's left of a Fae Forest.

The Fae Forest is a sad remnant.  Fortunately the Kiddles only need a few inches of space for a setting.
Do the photos work yet?

Not a whole lot of signs of spring, but my crocuses are in a warm spot behind the garage so they are always up before anyone else!  The purple girls are the default choices for pix with these.






Lila's just sooo wonderfully purple and these crocuses are a perfect match for her, but her hair makes photoshoots difficult.  She's gonna need some restyling again soon.















And Jewel's arrival was an example of what happens when people know you like minis so much that they tag you on other people's sales posts! 



This little clump is a perfect match for her.














Thanks for looking!

These are such fun photos! Your flowers emerge in a variety of purple colors, and you have a variety of purple dollies to make the most of the multiple shades!

Nice sunshine, too!

[Alliecat]

Thanks

The crocuses are done already
But before they started to look tired, I got a few pix of Flora.  She's so cute!!  Dang, I would love to know who made her, and to let them know she got rescued from Dollyteria and found a home where she's loved 






















Thanks for looking! 

[davidd]

Flora is a customized Pullip, yes? She's very pretty.

Does she have two costumes, or is that a jacket that fits over the white dress?

Is she on an aftermarket jointed body?

[Alliecat]

Yes, i would love to find out who made her.  No idea what the base model was either.
The coloured over-skirt & jacket go over the white dress, and she is on a T2 which I hate.  Her hands fall off if you look at them.  I'd like to get her another body.  They seem hard to come by.

I finally sorted the other pix I shot of Mariya with the amaryllis.
















Entry for PUDDLE contest, "Raining Cats & Dogs".  This one took 2 hours to set up and another hour to get the shot!    Cheers to Cherie who was looking right at the camera without any of the usual adjusting 



Catalina also got to represent this year.  A bit less time for this one; I didn't have to cut a fazillion raindrops out of tinfoil. 

It was fun solving the lighting challenges on these.  Especially for Cherie because everything kept coming out blue -- maybe it was her white dress affecting it?  So I ended up painting with a second flashlight to warm up the ex,posure from the first one.  And somehow my time counts ended up short every time.  I'm usually pretty much right on, timing ex.posures

I recognized the "raindrop" picture as yours when TrueFan posted up the PUDDLE contest entries on Flickr. You'r lighting style is recognizable. In fact, the pic with Catalina confused me, because that one also looks like one of yours. I was not aware that multiple entries were allowed.

I was intrigued by the raindrops. So they are aluminum foil! It's quite an eye-catching effect. I cannot figure out how you suspended the raindrops. They're not on the background because they are in front of the clouds. They do not appear to be glued to fine string or wire; and also, that would have taken fifty-bazillion hours to accomplish. Pasting the raindrops to a transparent pane of glass or plastic doesn't seem like it would be conducive to light painting as it would result in reflections. I can't figure it out. Just pure amazing talent and technical skill, I guess.
