The typical moving photo, aka wigs and clothes are god-knows-where so some are bald and some are...questionably dressed. But that little boy looks good in everything, with everything, and without anything.  He's just too stinking cute!  And we're back to trying things for Gabe, but at least I think he's keeping that name as it has seemed to stick through all the different changes.  I did however remove the epoxy ears I had put on him, which was surprisingly easy.  I was dreading it, but a bit of sanding and pressure and they popped right off.  He so needs a face up soon though, this blankness has gone on for too long! Perhaps once I'm settled in my new place the weather will cooperate.  

Also on an unrelated note, cute dog photo!  Bear settled down to nap with my Totoro and Catbus plush, and it was too cute an opportunity to pass up.

Liam came to work with me again today, he fits so perfectly in my purse!

I decided to take Liam to work today, and he's snuggled up in my big fuzzy hat. I have been wanting to take a doll with me lately, but most of my boys are too big for where I work now. I really need to have someone small enough to tuck away so he's invisible, and Liam is just the right size.  Now I just need to find where I put his clothes! I packed everything up when I moved, so well that now I can't find a lot of things. But I know they're safe, somewhere...

Bring you imp to work day!

The Littlest Saint

 

Liam's new wig!

I received Liam's new Leekeworld wig in last week, and it's different than the picture, but still nice. It's much lighter, with the top hair much more blonde. I think they may have used the wrong color mix, which can happen. However it's grown on me, so it's good.

Real life has taken over!

However, I'm working on beating it back. ;)

A few little updates...  Connor's name is changing once again, I think to something final this time.  I realized that I really do have too many Connors as it is one of my favorite Irish names, and I didn't want to add another to the mix.  So instead we will go with a name I had been thinking about, but wasn't sure if I wanted to use...Liam. 

I received Liam's tiny props, guns and coins and such.  They are awesome!  Really detailed, and perfect size. He's got some very Saints guns, a nice "Rambo" knife, and a rifle just because.  The coins are also fantastic in size and detail.  They really look like shrunken down versions of real coins.

He also has a new wig arriving today.  I love the brown one he's wearing, but he needs some variety.  Fur is nice, but I found a beautiful Leeke wig for him that's part of their "custom" wig series.  Basically they combine two of their colors to create a new kind of wig, and have offered them up for purchase for a limited time.  It's just the perfect color!

Pictures!

I mentioned that I had bought Connor his very own Saints coat, as part of his cosplay/character.  It's adorable, I must say. :)

 

Next we have a project I've been working on for a while, but haven't taken any real pictures of until today.  It's a doll case that was made primarily for Gabe, but Connor looks cute in just about anything. ;)

The box itself is a sort of mini wooden suitcase from Hobby Lobby.  I loved the outside design so much that I grabbed it without having a really solid plan of what it might become.

Then I realized it would make a great, steampunk-esque doll case.  Specifically I was making it for Gabe (Volks SDC Arashi), who is supposed to be a vampire with the adorable habit of sleeping in a very large piece of luggage.  Not because he has to, but because it is safer for a vampire to sleep in something during the day, and this was what happened to be around at the time.  He took a liking to it and never let it go.

I bought some Victorian style scrapbook paper and used that as a background for the box (previously it was unfinished wood), and then glued various things on top of it.  Here you can see his framed Nosferatu picture, a snipped from the Dance of Death, a planetary diagram, a flattened/imprinted penny, and the beginnings of a world map.  These images were just printed on some stationary paper I had, and then ripped out to give them worn edges.

More posters here, and you can see the full extent of the world map at the bottom.  There are also Clash and Dropkick Murphy's posters on top.

Even more posters!  I printed out a diagram of Firefly's ship Serenity for kicks, a tiny version of "Lunch on a Skyscraper," and a miniature Voltaire poster from a show that was on my birthday.  On the bottom there is a picture of a Davinci sketch.

Just one last bit of detail here, I included a Fleur de Lis, as well as some miniature Mardi Gras bead.

Connor says goodbye and thanks for looking!

It's not completely finished yet, but it's done enough to post some pictures of.

More Connor spam!

I've decided to give into my fangirl tendencies and just name him Connor Murphy MacManus. ;) So here's some new pictures of Connor this evening, after I finished the pants he's wearing. Ignore all the junk...everywhere lol.

Pirate boy!

Reunited my camera and it's cord. :)

First, a couple of pictures of Gabe with his prior face up which I shall return him to soon.


And my cute new little guy. I'm not quite sure what his name is yet, though I'm sorely tempted to name him Connor Murphy MacManus. ;)

It's happened again...

I bought (or am in the process of buying rather) another doll. In my defense he's an adorable Volks Yo-SD, and I really miss having one. :D

Terrible excuse, I know.

I suddenly started having this need for a smaller doll, which doesn't happen often. I'm more of a larger doll kind of girl. However, I was perusing through some Yo-SD pictures, and I remembered the Suzuna I used to have... And then I found a Yo/Tenshi hybrid in the MP and put a down payment. And then I bought clothes, and shoes, and eyes.

The funny part is that all of his stuff will arrive before him. :P I'm hoping to finish my short layaway by Monday and maybe have him out for next week if all goes well.
