I thought I'd start with a flower photo. I chose Elin because I wanted her to actually be out of scale with the huge flowers for a change. When she was a fairy, it didn't matter how big the flowers were, since all of them would be in scale to a fairy. But as a real girl, the same flowers would be out-of-scale. So here she is with one of my hibiscus flowers.....
The Iplekids Yahoo group that I belong to, is starting an 'Out of Scale' game for the month of July. We are to post photos of our dolls with items, or in settings, that are out of scale. The first person chooses a theme - flowers, food, technology, summer fun, sports, whatever - and after five photos are posted with that particular 'out-of-scale' theme, the next person gets to change it. Sounds pretty easy, but I've trained myself to try make my dolls look like they always are in scale. I thought I'd start with a flower photo.

So here she is with one of my hibiscus flowers..... My group of little BID children is growing - I've adopted a brother for Erzulie. Last night I went to take a quick look at some of the doll forums, and someone had just put up a light brown Efreet BID for sale. He is one of the four original BIDs that were released as part of the Elemental Guardian series, and they can only be ordered thru the Doll Choice system. I was actually thinking of getting him if Iplehouse held their 'Doll Choice at Basic Price Event' event again this coming Christmas, but there he was at a price I couldn't resist. So I bought him. Now I'm seriously going to have to make some little boy clothes!

The group moderators changed their mind about the 'Out of Scale' theme, so I guess I won't be doing a series on them after all.

Oh *rats* .......I was really looking forward to that theme, but I do agree it would have been difficult!

Doesn't mean I can't take some myself and slowly create an album over time. I do have another 'out-of-scale' photo waiting for it's special day next week - one I took when I was under the impression that's what we were doing. Leave a Reply. |
