A Few More Trip Photos

6/27/2012

Nelly's sari outfit is coming along nicely. I just need to sew on some flowers, make her a necklace and the hair ornament. Then she'll be done.  In the meantime I have a few more photos from the trip. The first one was one of the very first doll photos taken on our trip. It was taken at the Badlands in South Dakota. It was so hot and sunny, and I was really worried about too much sun on Kyle and Aeran. It was also the first place I tested out my newly-made tri-pod doll stands, which were only moderately successful, so this shot was taken using the standard old-fashioned stands with supports hidden behind a doll's leg, and the bases covered with "local gravel".

Then, another photo of Byuri with the totem poles at Thunderbird Park in Victoria. We had just come off the ferry and breezed through Customs. The ferry from Port Angeles at the north of Washington state sails right into the inner harbour of downtown Victoria. I had been nervous about Customs - I always am - but the entire re-entry area was extremely tiny and Customs had already pulled aside two RVs and the search area was full. I was surprised and relieved to just be waved through. So, in that stunned state of mind we parked in the nearby Museum parking lot and took two dolls to the totem poles for some photos. We were downtown in a busy location, but I was oblivious to any passers-by. That was one of the only times I shot the dolls in public.

And finally, the first photo I've processed from a series of Aeran taken in the 
debris field of the Athabasca Glacier, at the Columbia Icefields in Jasper.

Well, I better get back to Nelly's costume. When she's done, I'll take some photos.

Morning,
I am French and I stumbled upon your blog, I'll soon have my first BJD (now three years since I seek). Your outfits are gorgeous! I started sewing and I hope one day reach your level. I just wanted to tell you congratulations.

did any of your trio ever want to simply give up the journey, and refuse to go on? :-)

Even though they all got wet on several occasions, and each one fell face-first into the snow at least once, none ever complained. In fact I was the only one who often felt too tired to take photos - but I forced myself.
