Oh that sounds terrible. Are you sure it isn't food poisoning?

I don't know what it is to be perfectly honest. It might be food poisoning, but the man-thing has been eating all the same food I have and he is fine.  It is pretty awful. I hate being sick and feeling so helpless anyway, but right now makes it even worse.

Thank you for your insight on orchard corsets. My friend and I both have larger measurements that make it a bit difficult to find otr corsets and she is looking into the orchard corset cs-411 or a petite josephine by isabella if she decides to muster up that much money. We were debating the quality difference between the two, because she is nearly certain she wants to waist train or wear it daily and wasn't sure about orchard or how it would look on a fuller figure. Your blog definitely helps :)

Well thanks love bug! <3

dreamsdarkly replied to your post:So my rerooting hair should be arriving this week....

I got a pin vice, an xacto or a testors one, they are basically they same, can get them on Amazon for cheaper than the rerooting tools they sell on dollyhair, and it’s the exact same thing. They are really slick. It’s much easier than searching for an xacto blade handle that…

I was actually looking at getting a pin vice reroot tool off etsy or something :P Last time I had an actual rerooting tool ( the wooden ones anyways) I really didn't like em, they felt cheap and like they'd break too easily u.u I hadn't thought of checking amazon but I should prob look into that since etsy might actually be pricier hmm

Answering some questions for dreamsdarkly ~

On this post; What size brush do you use for the fine details?

Well, I use many different bushes, so thats a bit hard to answer. For long flowy, tapered lines, like the lashes and texture in the iris, I use liners, and from smallest to largest their numbers are 18/0, 10/0, and 0. And for small lines + shapes that don't have a tapered end, such as the iris base color, pupil, eyeliner and waterline, I use really short round brushes called spotters in the same sizes as the liners. You could just use rounds, but the shorter spotters are easier to control (for me). Really, I've just been using the smallest brushes I can find. ;)

On this post;  What did you use to make the poseable antennae?

First I made a wire armature, so they could hold a shape. Then I sculpted over it with Sculpey Mold Maker (Lumina works too), got them relatively smooth and symmetrical, then baked! Since the clay is tan and I didn't want to complicate the flexibility by mixing in color, I painted them with black acrylic. Finally I dipped them in flexible matte gloss several times to get a really nice, smooth surface! 

Here's a pic, in case you're curious...

I wasn't able to attach them before shipping Lydia, unfortunately, so no pics of her complete... But I have made a tail for my devil this way. I need to take some more pics of her! :3

I hoped this helped and I didn't ramble on too much!
