There was a big deal for me – how to make an arm prosthesis  for a BJD. A BJD’s arm is already looking like somewhat of a prosthesis for us. My decision is simple and evident to sculpt a doll-prosthesis as a realistic arm (as far realistic as my trifle skills allow) of a not-living colour and slightly smaller than his “alive” bjd-arm. I’ve made two arms as I want to get plaster molds from them (for some not thoroughly realized reason). The work took three weeks. My papier-mache techniques are really slow. There is a post about  these doll-arms and prosthesis in my Live Journal https://vertebra-p.livejournal.com/187336.html. (in Russian)

I’ve finally sold my inner toad on an anatomic model from “Aliexpress”. Haaa, it was a big deal ))) Well, I don’t know if there is any “inner toad” in English language. In Russian it is a metaphorical pet of poor people – a personification of thrift. The model is small and of rather average quality, but I think, it will be helpful. My dolls will hardly become more anatomically correct… In course of time my lack of anatomy understanding and a feeble flair for sculpture turned from a failure and an evident bug into my personal “artistic” trick.

I've made 10 pairs of eyes for him. And it was the second attempt... Yeah, the first 10 pairs had been failed.  It is amazing how eyes change the doll's character.

Dolls with a doll...

When I was sculpting Franz-Xavier I took a lot of interesting process-photos and as usual had no time to phototshop them. So now I break the chronology and show some of those pics... May be they are not very interesting for you as you've already seen so many Franz's photos, but I like them, they even inspire me to concoct some poetry in foreign Language, ha-ha.

Every desolate cage dreams about a turquoise birdlet and yearns a bit to be a flower – a white wild rose with long lean thorns – so she has them but not her – the empty rim with prickly trim. ***

Despite being ill for the whole week I finished this cage yesterday. The cage for a shrike... not really, just for my Franz. The cage for a strange philologist. How he will use it - I tell later.
