Between everything else going on I'm continuing to try taking photos of the missing costumes for my Fantasy Fashions book. Even though Maya and Narin, who are two of my oldest guys, have appeared in many stories over the years, there were never any good full length photos showing their costumes. So I had to take some. First I tried Maya in the castle interior set... He's a Doll Leaves 'M', and was a gift from the company twelve years ago. Then there's Narin, who was purchased eleven years ago during the D'Storic 'Goodbye Bimong' Event, when their contract with him expired. Narin never had a nice outfit until last year when he came to the castle and became the King's secretary. That's when I made him a new wig and outfit.... And then because the two of them would be on a two-page spread with Kyle, my very first Iplehouse JID guy who arrived eleven years ago, I took a photo of the three of them together.... But the verdict was that they blended into the background too much, so I went back to my initial idea of taking the guys to the lake. So, when it was dry and cloudy first thing this morning, I packed them up and we went down to the beach. It was really beautiful down there. I didn't feel like laying down on the wet sand, so we brought along our projector stand. No sooner were we set up, than the sun came out from behind the clouds into a bright blue sky. Good thing I had remembered to bring my big white umbrella to shade the dolls... And that's a wrap. Time to head home and see what's next on my To-Do list....

Yes, Maya and Narin are just ordinary citizens. Maya tends to appear in contemporary stories, and Narin hasn't really been in any until he ran into Baron and Rex on their Winter Patrol, as he was heading for his new job at the castle.

The lake makes a beautiful setting for the photos of the three guys.

Thanks. Yes, the beach is a great place for doll photos, especially for some with a not too crowded background. Comments are closed.
