No commissions. I like bjds and making arts and crafts and such silliness.

Up until recently, I didn’t own any manga. A year ago I bought this person’s manga once, then returned it to the book store because it was too spicy for my taste. But, recently I picked up the book again and I’ve decided I will read more. A lot of work went into the illustrations. And I appreciate each page.

And, yes. I have an obsession with skulls.

In July, I will be displaying my homemade BJDs in a library. I really want to get my recent one finished in time. Lots to do. I need to create a dress for my lamb doll too.

Current events are making me sick. I write my thoughts down in my journal. This song has stayed in my head while I’m at work.

I’ve been hanging out with my friends and working on my doll. I hope to post a picture of it soon.

Sculpting and sanding while listening to metal music on college radio. I’ll be connecting the head cap soon and working on the ball joints.

Cutting the arm pieces

I was really nervous about this part. These pieces were tiny. I am going to try to design a bigger doll next time.

I’m working on my doll a little bit more. So far I’ve used wire, Elmer's glue and cotton before applying actual clay onto the antenna. I cut up more pieces with my exacto knife. Feeling nostalgic and played Disney’s Spectro Magic music. I worked at Disney World once upon a time as an intern helping with the technics for the parade. It was a fun job.

I ordered a faux fur jacket! I always wanted one. I lost a few pounds from going to the gym. Right now with my work schedule, I feel like I don’t have much time/energy for myself outside of the gym.

Pretty song

Sometimes bad memories come creeping in on me that I wish I could forget. It’s not fair. Certain things just leave me confused. All I can do is just record my thoughts, release it to a higher power and pet my cat. Aside from that, it’s my second month of going to the gym. I overdid my forward lunges last time I was there. Going up and down stairs hurts. I’ve been very busy. Too busy right now to work on my doll sculpture. But, I’ll get around to it.

The cats were being naughty today and spilled my Bjd pieces all over the floor. But fortunately, I found all the pieces. It’s able to stand without elastic. it’s week two of going to the gym. I’m grateful to have a friend who meets me at the gym. So far, I’ve lost three pounds.

Decoden

Just some show and tell. I made a decoden at a class at my public library years ago. I still have it. I would love to make another one.

Impulsive life changes. Wish me luck.🍀

Impulsively, I got a gym membership. I have a friend who will be meeting me there.

Boy for new years, should my resolution be to lose a shit ton of weight and hook up with the first person that says they love me ( for me of course? Or, should I dedicate my year learning how to be a kick ass 2d animator and doll artist? Self discipline is key. Hmm. I only have 12 minutes to decide which one when the ball drops. I’m a simple creature. I can’t choose both.

Xmas music is everywhere. There is no escape.

I’ve been taking time to animate a lip sync animation for a friend.dreams 2 came out recently and I want to try it out. I haven’t done animation for a while, so my stuff looks really bad. I have 4 days off from work this week. I cleaned up my desk and will be working on my doll bjd at some point of the week.

Happy Holidays everybody.

I got new brushes for my procreate app. So, I tried them out on my day off while I was hanging out with friends for coffee. I had Metallica’s “of wolf and man” while in my head while drawing this. Ugh! I need to draw more.

Let’s join our hand towards dream.

Even though I have been depressed, I forced myself to sculpt my doll today. I feel a little better since doing it. The arms on this are very very tiny. I just hope it doesn’t break while I make the joint pieces.

My shr1nk, Ginger the cat, is on call. She isn’t happy with my progress. Every late fall season I’m like this. Thank God I have a break from work tomorrow.

I’ll work on my doll when I’m feeling better.
