Right now I'm going through all my many boxes of fabric and supplies, and taking out everything I know I will never use or that is too small or unsuitable for BJD clothing. Saturday is our annual doll club picnic and I figure that's a good place to bring all my unwanted stuff. Many of my boxes of fabrics are so full the lid won't even fit properly, so I'm hoping to get rid of a lot of stuff. Problem is, it's hard to part with things. Each piece of fabric represents a 'dream' - the outfit I had in mind when I bought it - there are fabrics for Elizabethan costumes, lots of pretty "Rococo gowns", "goth fairies", and endless other exotic things.
Finished 'Rosalind', the final Medieval ensemble for my EID women today and took a few photos. This gown is green and I had difficulty deciding which wig went best with it. After trying several, Carina ended up with the red wig. I really need to make some more mohair wigs! Maybe next week. Now I need to decide which doll I'm going to make something for next. I had thought Tedros (finally) but I want some sundresses for my Kaye girls, and I need some "turn of the century" things for some dolls to take with me when we go to the eastern seaboard in October - no point in waiting until the last minute! I'd better get those out of the way first, and then I can work on more things for sale.
