Puck: Faces and clothes
Both heads have come home today! Just in time for some quick snap shots, before they're send back to China again.

UPDATE: Face-up pictures
Lynsey from Bangarang (formerly Cross Pistols just send me the pictures of the two face-ups for Puck I commissioned her for and I'm in love! She's so talented. I love the colours she used on both of them and how they are very different, despite using almost the same palette.
I hope it won't take long before the heads come home.

Dealers and Doll Fairs
So, with my prototype home and some clothes on the way (woohoo!), it's time to schedule an appointment with a possible future dealer. As always though, things are going a little slow. Because of situations in both our personal lives, and the fact that we live on the other side of the country, pinpointing a date is a herculean task, to say the least ( Read more... ) -
UPDATE: Puck's prototype has arrived!
In the flesh! Well... Sort of. I'm so ridiculously happy, it's almost kind of sad. For my cat that is. It's been twice now that the poor thing dove underneath the couch, because I started jumping around like a madman.
Puck is just so much more beautiful than I expected. His resin kind of glows and it makes him look even more gentle. He's also quite ( Read more... ) -
UPDATE: Puck's prototype has shipped!
I am glad to say that Puck's prototype is on his way home as we speak. Keeping in mind that he will probably be taken hostage by Dutch customs, I expect him to be delivered to my house in about two weeks. Can't wait to see him in his actual resin colour! -
UPDATE: Posing pictures from casting company
Yesterday I received these pictures - among others - from my casting company. Apparantly they had much fun with the posing and I'm glad to see he's able to sit like this, keep his arms horizontal (not these pictures) etcetera. Puck is a better poser than I thought!
*cough* it helps that these people aren't as afraid afraid to break him as I was, so ( Read more... ) -
UPDATE: Puck's headcap
The casting company asked me if it was okay to change the headcap system I designed to something they were more familiar with. Because this new system involved magnets (a type I can't find in my own country), instead of the rubber band my own system would need, I had no problem with it.
So, this is the system Puck will have from now on:

WIP Salomé: More torso pictures
Because I used NSP as a core to build her on, her stomach area has a different colour. It didn't look very attractive, that's why these pictures are uploaded in black and white.
Salomé still needs more work to get her symmetrical, but before I do that, I will start making her joints first. Chances are much of the detail will get lost otherwise.

UPDATE: New message from casting company
I just received an email from China and they told me how much it would cost me to make a first prototype.
$650. Yikes!
They already gave me an estimate, so it didn't come as a full surprise. Still, to see the numbers in black and white is a little daunting.
Some other 'bad' (as in: less good) news: They have found some room for improvement of the ( Read more... )
