A New Book

12/19/2022

 
My sister and I have been working on a new book this past month.  She had spent the entire year working on a book featuring photos of every single OOAK art doll we had ever made, and then while doing the final edit, one idea led to another, and I made some comment about doing a book featuring photos I'd taken with my BJDs with some of our old art dolls in my collection. 

 I actually got to see her finished book last week, and it is very impressive. Together we made almost three hundred sculpted dolls over a period of about twelve years, mostly during the nineties. The vast majority were sold, but we each kept some of our favourites, and ones that were special to us. Every now and then I would use one of the old dolls in my personal collection in photos with my BJDs. So it's been fun to put together a book featuring those unique photos.

​Well, right now we are in the final edit stage, and almost ready to send it off for the first test print.

I'm really excited about this new book because it features some of my all time favourite photos.
​Like Lawrence in Jurassic Park as Dr. Grant...

...and as the Soldier in the Soldier & Death...

The knights on winter patrol meeting up with my Griffin and his friends......

There's four visits from St. Nicholas, and this is just the one from 2014...
Picture
There's also several pages with my favourite photos from my White Cat story...

All in all 71 pages featuring photos of 29 of my old art dolls with my BJDs.  
​So, something to look forward to in the new year.

It looks wonderful, Martha! I'll definitely be wanting one to add to my Martha Boers book collection 😊

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind when it comes to ordering copies after we do the first test copy.

This one will cost in the same ballpark as the Fairy book since it's just two pages longer. Of course our dollar value comes into play as well. But I'm only going to be ordering enough copies for those who are seriously interested, and no extras this time.

Thanks. It will be an interesting book with a wide range of photos. We still have to get the first test copy printed, and then we will order more for everyone who seriously wants one. But there's no knowing how long that will take, since we have to wait for special discounts, otherwise the books will be way too expensive.

This one sounds amazing! Just the few preview pages look beautiful.

Thanks. There's a wide range of subjects, and includes some of my favourite photo shoots from the past few years, as well as lots of earlier ones. All featuring my old art dolls with my BJDs. So, quite a varied collection.

Thanks. I've added your name to the list for whenever they eventually become available. This time I'm only ordering enough copies for people who are seriously interested. No more extras.
