An Another Night Comes...

         I got so excited today as the FedEx brought me a very good news (actually a package from Cholo ;) in the late afternoon. I carefully opened up the package and checked things out whether they are fine. The features at the headpieces are not scratched or damaged during the shipping. Thank you God that they come to me safely. The moment I saw the real headpiece and the necklace, I cried out that they are much more beautiful than the pictures. The sparkling from the beads and crystals he made reflect my eyes and I suddenly just tried them on the doll. The costume, that it normally looks great by its own decoration and style, becomes more gracious and beautiful. I got so amazed to see the whole thing for a big while. I smiled to myself and Thank You to God that I always meet nice people and friends who are always besides to help me. I didn’t want to go out to the gym or start any works in the eveing, but just need looking at the doll for so long. I took many pictures and here are some that I would like to share to you now. 

         The white color of the features goes along very well with the long red hood from different ankles by the camera. It reminds me of some mythical pictures, something beyond our imagination that we will never wear in the real life. The white skin of the doll itself looks very bright, especially when the light reflects on its skin. When the red hood is on, she becomes a mannequin that displays a very lively costume and the whole thing. That’s why I couldn’t take my eyes  out of it…

           At the front of the red hood, and on the both sides, there’s needlework, a golden thread that was used to make a couple of the griffons. They are pretty small but very clear by a very high-resolution camera. I hope that on the day I take the pictures, I would be able to show them clearly. The white necklace by Cholo can be applied with the white peacocks costume inside very well. I will separate the costumes, jewelry, and nude doll and then take the pictures separately on each single detail. This could be a 4-6 hours for the photographing, and I hope it will be satisfied me with the nice outcomes. 

          And this is how it looks by the back of the red hood with the beads and Swarovski,and some kinds of synthetic gems.

         Meanwhile the 3^rd production dolls are now being remade, (the previous set was useless as the mistake during the firing), the doll stand is now almost finished. It’s made of the brace and decorated with 20 red and white diamonds on each side. (3 sided) I need to cover it with the velvet or some clothes that will protect the doll feet and its surface from the antifriction that can cause the unexpected scratches. 

         I got a lovely logo on the right of the stand. Each doll stand will have a different stone colors depending on the costume color of the particular theme. This set is for the Bride of the Dracula, so I think the crystals should be red and white that they will look great and fit when the doll stands on it. It’s so shiny and strong enough for the doll! 

         There are 2 things left before I will fly to Japan. The 1^st thing is to paint the doll after the firing method(Ofcourse, it takes at least 5 days for this process). And the other thing is to take photographs as a piece of art that I’m working with the setting and props I have prepared. I could be the zombie again, but a happy zombie that works on what he really loves!

Thank you for following my small place here. Good Night every one :)

                                   (The Glass House Coffing is waiting for me!!!)

The Glass House Coffin.

         Normally, I always take the whole pictures myself. It’s very fun and challenging to see the doll in the photos when it’s completed. To find the settings and materials for each theme composition is what I really love to do so much, apart from making doll and paint! (But it sometimes takes away my huge money for these things). I feel that the doll will be more interesting if she has the scenery that fits her look and costumes. The proper composition with the doll will tell a good story of the whole thing and I think you may let your imagination flow with the pictures you have seen about the doll in each particular theme.

          For the Bride of the Dracula, I found a glass house one day and suddenly I got an idea that this thing can be used with my doll for this collection. It looks is a Gothic style, with the curves of the mirrors that are special made by the shape of the house. It looks beautiful and at the same time, it looks mysterious. The Bed (not sure to call it an altar) is made of the lime, also the pillars. They perfectly fit on the scale and the overall look. I thought I should need to add more details on the setting, but I changed my mind as the doll will look less dominant  if the settings are too much. I might add more dried flowers in the blue and violet tone but I’m not sure that I can find them or not.

 

         The bed stone looks very strong and I think I should find the lace to cover it so as to make it look softer when the doll sleeps on it. This will depend on the day of the photographing that it really looks good in the photographs or not. But at least I should be prepared for this.

        This Glass House Coffin is a setting when the girl is bitten by the Dracula. People think she might be already dead and therefore her body is kept in the glass coffin and being buried when the sun rises. Or it can be a virgin girl that is being sent to be a Bride of the Dracula! By the way, the whole things are not completely done yet. There are a few things to finish. I got really excited to see the whole things in a complete set and then start flashing my camera on the doll! 

                                      Thank you for watching :-)
