Another new year, and another list of resolutions, and like the past few years, most will probably not get done. Too many ideas - which are the easy part - and a year isn't barely long enough to do them all. The best we can do is try, and if it really was possible to do everything I really wanted to, what would that be?
Well, first of all I'd like my newest two little ones painted. They also will need something to wear. Then there's a couple of older dolls who are really starting to show their wear, and need to be repainted. I still have one official commission to tackle. I tried getting out fabrics and coming up with a design this past week, but it was too busy to be creative. Next week everything is back to normal, and that will be a better time.
I'd love to make some special costumes for the newest larger dolls which joined my group over the past two years. That includes Owen, Leona, Soa, and Butterfly Narae and Narin. That would take up a good chunk of the year already!! I'd also really like to make some Medieval or Renaissance costumes in various sizes. My fabric boxes are all full beyond bursting, and there's no faster way to reduce the stash than to make gowns with sweeping skirts for larger dolls. Tiny dolls take almost no fabric at all, but make a costume for an SD or larger doll, and the skirt alone takes at least a meter.
I'd like to try sculpting a BJD head for a photo story I have in mind for later in the year. I'm not sure what medium I'd use, but I would make it to fit on my Maya's body. I've wanted (needed) an older MSD man for some time, and I really don't like sculpting, so have been putting it off. But maybe this will be the year. There's also a couple of other photo stories that I'd really like to do, and I need to make costumes and props for those too.
I'm hoping this is the year I finally get my computer/doll room repainted, and get the display cases rewired so my BJD collection can move in. The glass cases in my computer room are the only place on the main floor where the sun won't ever reach. Right now they are lit with fluorescent lighting, from the top and bottom, and that creates creepy shadows on the doll's faces. The plan is to replace the fluorescent lights with strips of LED lights down the back of all the vertical wooden door frames. That should give a much nicer, softer, overall lighting. I've had the strips of LED lights for two years already.
Well, it's January 2nd already, and what have I got to show for it? Better get busy.....
