Two New little Girls

3/12/2013

I picked up Soa and Erzulie from Charie's last night.  Soa is so beautiful, and Erzulie is just so cute. I spent a lot of time trying clothes and wigs on them, trying to find what looked best, but none of the wigs I had were just the perfect look I was after.  I'm sure they'll settle into a special look all their own eventually after I take the time to make some new wigs and play around with them some more. Right now Soa has a black mohair wig, but the black is too dark and "dead", and she needs a hat to keep the wig under control. I have some very nice dark brown mohair I can make her a wig from, but I think what she really needs is some kind of girly style out of dark brown synthetic mohair like Byuri's - after all, they are supposed to be sisters. I'd like Erzulie to have shorter hair, but I'm a little reluctant to cut her wig just yet.

Anyway, here they are..... first Erzulie...

And in other news, I just signed another contract with Springbok puzzles!  They will be making another one of my photos into a puzzle. This time it wasn't part of their annual contest, but they actually approached me, in early January, having seen one of my doll photos where the little girls were posed surrounded by nutcrackers. They wanted to know if I had taken any photos of the nutcrackers without the dolls, and if I hadn't, would I be willing to?  Sure, you betcha!! 
I LOVE Springbok puzzles, and would be happy to take a photo for them. Our Christmas decorations had already been packed away, but fortunately the nutcrackers go into a separate box, so Jan and I unpacked them, then spent a whole evening in the basement studio setting them all up, and taking a photo. I don't think I can show a picture yet, but as soon as Springbok introduces it to the public, I'll post my nutcracker puzzle photo.    Just goes to show, you never know what opportunities will present themselves by posting doll photos online!
