1. Get the husband to finish the cat ear project - 12% cast and done so far.
2. Finish making wedding clothes and flowers for Lily and Alerich and send them off the Cirquemom for their California vacation.
3. Bake cookies.
4. Poke the husband to finish making puki horns, tiny (puki size) fox doll, and cast more Ryo--ohki heads so we can sell them!
5. Sew costumes and doll clothes.
6. Make a hat with cannon on it for myself.

A lot of half-finished doll outfits I need to be working on -- for Master Ambrosius (Soom Heliot), Princess Nieve (DZ Celine), and the Steampunk Duo (Elfdolls Bambu and "K").... Want to make some small props for the Steampunk Duo, like weaponry and gadgets. (Still ignoring the request for a full-sized airship.... :roll: )

Need to arrange for time/place to work on things like staining unfinished wood furnishings (footstools that will make great tables for 1/3 scale) and MSC-spraying The Kirin's (Soom Heliot-unicorn) hooves, legs and hands, so I can paint/blush them.... The only place I have is my balcony, and it gives me vertigo (9th floor), so I need to visit parents or sister who have a deck I can sit on for a while...

Need to organize and re-arrange furnishings and get rid of some big things so I can have the 1/6 scale stage up at the same time I'm working on other big doll projects -- right now I don't have enough table-top space, nor room for the additional table, so it's a major effort to switch from doing 1/6 to 1/3 scale stuff and back again. Need to find places where the Big Kids can sit or stand that are out of direct sun and out of the way of doing other things... I just hate putting them in boxes. (They get so neurotic, you know....)

1/6 scale projects:
Must get back to EXALTED... I have a future episode stopped in mid-scene on the stage right now, and have several future episodes mapped out (shooting out of order to make best use of stage sets).

Sequel to Lady in Alabaster currently in story planning stages. For anyone who wondered what happened to the Duke and Lady Aimee after they got home that night.... :) (maybe I should re-post the original here... it's been a while, and I'm sure there are folks who have never seen it... )

1/3 scale projects:
Planning for New Dolls.... One should arrive in the next month or so -- he's going to be quite a project in himself :o -- and still trying to decide on the other(s). And of course, they will need Clothes. And Stuff. In the meantime, I gotta find places to put 'em...

And I need to get a new computer, so I can do the website I've been wanting to do for doll stories and animations... the poor thing I'm running at home now can't handle the software I want to use, dangit.
This space for rent.....

Me personally I am needing to finish a bedding set for the bed i gave my daughter for her brownie.
and been snagging some cute kelly outfits for her brownie for her bday,
Getting some baby kelly scale items for her to go with her doll that is on the way i got her for her birthday too.
she is getting a girl baby as she wanted her dolls to have a baby sister even if she herself was getting a baby brother.
been looking at the spampy clothes too most likly gonna snag 1 or 2 of those as well for her.
i need to order my son's 2 dolls he is getting i will order one in mid april then the other after it comes in.
debating which one to order first i think it is gonna depend on his older sister, since she wants to split the shipping with the one place which is fine by me save me some on shipping ;)
i would love to get a gray skin rs lan in the future for a project i have in mind but that will wait til after i get the kids taken care of, i would also like to snag a second hand lati white reg or sp in the future as well as a df pinee.
i think thats about it for now my wants are pretty cheap and reasonably priced i dont have alot of them so i stay pretty content lol. just wish i could find msc here. i have less then 1/2 a can but i think i have more dolls here that need it then i have spray for. let alone future projects. gah! i might have to start paying for company faceups again soon /blah

Looking for: Something that can be used for a four cell AK47/74 magazine pouch, preferably in cloth. 21st Century did a Russian version some years ago but it's solid PVC.
Various Azone Combat Gear bits 'n pieces for the Obitsu girls. I might post a wanted list in the trade section here but this stuff appears to made from unobtanium and unicorn farts.

Making (or planning to make): An RPK 47/74. Basically the light machine gun version of the AK series rifle. I have the basic parts, it's just a matter of getting the saw, knife, sheet plastic, paint, glue, etc. all in the same place at the same time.

Thinking about making that 1/12 scale gypsy wagon for my tinies, then wondering where to put it.
Who's next when Roger and the heads are done, I like making little peoples.
Will I get the twins or Lucifer a 'front man' wig?

So many that I have barely started... will help when the MSC I just ordered gets here, since I am afraid to do anything to my vinyl heads without it, given the issues I am having with the ZM. But anyway...

1) Learn to paint eyes, so I can do everything else on the list.

2) Do faceups on: Cerridwen (25cm Obitsu), Siirist, Galen (27cm Volks EB-Ns), Amrynn (27cm Obitsu Slim Male), Eldrin (25-ish cm Volks hybrid boy), Amara (27cm Volks EB-A that I bought from Kirahfaye), Braedan, Jawn (Placo guys I bought from Setsuna)

3) Do the body work on: Cerridwen, Amrynn, Amara, Braedan, Jawn (those two include flocking some body hair), and Demitriana (unknown female action figure body I got on ebay that I really like, looks sort of like a CY Girl).

4) Root: Cerridwen, Galen, Siirist, Amrynn, Eldrin, Amara, Braedan, and Jawn.

5) Get all (or part) of: Vander (not sure yet, probably a Volks Neo-GUY body & head), Flinar (Volks CHH C type head), Rheatis (Volks Neo-Go body, not sure which head yet since they've been out of the one I want forever and a day now), Lothor (Volks Neo-Go body, probably head 2), Demitriana (Obitsu Male Head 02 white, prerooted dark brown), Quarion and Daville (twins, Obitsu Slim Males with Head 3), Leith (Volks EB-C in pale with Obitsu female head 05 white... and another Volks EB-C body of whatever color, because it has to be painted, he has 2 forms), Tyan (Volks EB-N body and head), and possibly a couple others, depending on whether or not the character stays in our little D&D world.

6) Once I have my sewing machine, learn how to sew and make a metric butt-ton of clothes for all of them.

7) Once I have the parts and people I need to buy, do the face, body and rooting on all that.

.... I feel a bit overwhelmed now... oh well! ^_^

EDIT: I forgot... after all that, I make rooms for most of them, and sets (I guess you could call it) for the others.

Start with a practice sheet of eyes on paper. I use the methods I worked out for my art on my dolls. All my training was in oil paint, self taught water colors, only use acrylics on the dolls. Work with a size you feel comfortable with first then work them in doll size if different.

I didn't think of that. Great idea! ^_^ I only have a few practice heads, so it will be quite helpful to get some off-head practice first.

On a different note, I made one bit a little easier on myself... I found a Ken that will be perfect for one of the guys and will only need a bit of tweaking. Yay! So, that's one Volks Neo-Go that I no longer need to mess with.

Until I need one for something else. <.< ..... >.>
