I'm sure many of you have seen this image before.....
Well, that's definitely me on the right right now. So many different things going on, with doll stuff everywhere, that I feel like my house has been taken over with dolls and their stuff. There's not even room at the kitchen table to sit and eat....
I'm still working on processing photos taken at Christmas, and there's a new theme coming this way, which I already did a photo shoot for, and now I want to build a castle interior so I don't have to get down on the floor every time.
The only chairs I have that look remotely medieval are two with woven seats, but the bright red one won't do, so needs repainting. But first the woven seat needed to be pressed down (it was bulging way up) so it was soaked and pressed down to dry.
I borrowed the medieval banners from the Barbie castle in the basement, and used one for a throne room scene already, and now need to remake some of the brighter coloured ones in duller, more appropriate colours that won't stand out like a sore thumb. Plus, they are way too 'cartoony'. I also need a proper medieval table, which will get made from one side of a wooden box we picked up at Value Village this week.
I decided Lawrence could use a pet, and what better companion than the black resin wolf I've had sitting around here for years. So I printed out some Timber wolf pictures to help with painting him.
My granddaughters were getting rid of a lot of their dolls tuff, and I was invited to look through the props and furniture to see if there was anything I could use. I took home, amongst other things, a wooden cabinet (in photo), but it needed some white paint smears covered up.
I'm trying to catch up with old Gallery pages that were never made, finish off Favourite photos albums from 2019, start new pages for 2020, shoot some photo contest entries, and start some new doll costumes. I did a google search for medieval tables, and the food they ate back then. I'd like to make several food items for future medieval photo stories. Could be fun.
But first I need to strip down four dolls that are going away tomorrow - Baron, Monica, Layla and Hope - for various body blushing, manicures, and faceup work. And it's finally time for all the Christmas decorations to come down. So, never a dull moment!
So, I better get back to it.....although I feel tired just trying to decide what to do first.....
