Shademon Trickster by Remjie

If you are into art dolls and critters, you surely know Remjie. This link will take you to her dA, but she also has a site with things for sale - Remjie.com only her dolls are usually sold within, like, minutes. There used to be times when I would see the doll show up at her site and be gone in five minutes, literally! Only more expensive once stick around for days sometimes. But this one (the one dA link opens to), it stayed there and stayed there. I think its been a month? Other dolls would come and go, and he would still be listed for sale. And one day I looked at him and realized: he was waiting for me to get him. So the first chance i had, I did.

And now he's settling in on my art doll shelf :) Here are some more shots of him - and his story by the artist can be read here ::::











Onto some more exciting news (err, not more exciting, more news :))) - Remjie recently had a slot open for a pre-order. Which she never does. No pre-orders, no commissions. One slot. And it IS MINE. She will make a mini-doro for me, with olive-green fur and dark-green undertones to her face and neon-green eyes. She is really working out great and her name will be Gaia <3 (ok, off the starry-eyed fan-girl mode, LOL) I got to pick the species and colors. For general reference, this is what a doro looks like (mini-doro is the smaller one, obviously ;))

Infestation?!

Long before I was into mixed-media posable art-dolls (dolls with sculpted parts on a soft body), I decided to get this fella - just on a whim. He was made by musestar and settled in around Christmas 2011. Recently I realized that he was a trigger and the first piece of my art doll collection that has now grown to 8 pieces, soon more - so I decided to give him an honorable photosession and a chance to stroll around the house.

Circus of Wonder

It's been a while since I wrote about the dolls that changed my life. Dolls that connected me with the best and closest friend I ever had. Dolls that are simply different from any other company or artist dolls. Dolls made by Nefer Kane.

I'm not going to say much. I'm just going to show them off - all of them I own, including even Iracebeth I no longer have. These are all the molds Nefer released before Nexeven. Now we ar all waiting on the ethereal wonder that Nexeven is, and then - then, there are many surprises in store. More than any budget can fit, actually :) Go to circuskane.com and look at the latest blog post - you will be blown away by the amount of innovation Nafar can cram into one single doll, and by the number of dolls Nefer can create at the same time - while keeping them unique and different,

So, wordless (almost) tribute to my Nefer Kane Circus...

Humpty Dumpty's penfriend

A little while ago, I met a new friend. Not to disclose her identity, I will just say what matters for this post: like me, she likes role playing with her dolls and we started doing that by letting our Humpty Dumpty (by Nefer Kane) dolls correspond, even while hers is still in production. I am very happy to do this, even though at times I feel like I'm too busy for play. It has been a wonderful experience: a bit of a writing exercise, a bit of a game, and mostly - a huge help to bond with this particular doll and through it, all of my dolls in general. Thank you, my dear friend.
And now, below the cut, the first batch of the Humpty Letters. Hers are bonded, mine are italicized. Enjoy and - there will be the next batch when we hit #15 or so.

So a Humpty girl said..
