Last month I did an Interview for Musume for her blog "My Dolly Adventures".

I'm busy multi-tasking with several new things on the go. I'm in the process of completely deconstructing the two toddler dresses so I can make 4 Kaye Wiggs MSD-size doll dresses out of them. I've decided I don't care for plain long sleeves out of dark brown velvet for little girls, so will make short puffed sleeves out of the cut-off skirt fabrics instead.
I've also been hunting for some appropriately-sized mice for a doll photo, and was ready to give up. But I was in Dollarama looking for the same doll-size witch's hats I bought last year in the Hallowe'en aisle, and trying to avoid looking at all those creepy severed body parts, when on the opposite side I saw packages of brightly coloured miniature plastic rats. They were bright purple, green, blue and orange, and would need to be completely painted to look like real mice, but for a dollar I figured why not go for it. I've under-painted some of them....

The mask for Queen of the Night is coming along nicely. After the basic mask cured, I added eyelids, the silver filagree 'crown', and stars onto the front. I've fine-tuned the eye holes and sanded the inside, so it's now ready to be painted. As much as I hate working with the uncured Apoxy, I love working with it after it's cured. It's so strong and light-weight, sands really well, and takes paint beautifully. It's just getting over that initial sculpting hump. The rest is fun!
