One of my friends sent me a cute little sled....and if you send Daisy a sled, she'll want to harness a critter....

"Science goes 'Boink'?"

"Of course it does!"

"....hmmmm....."

Observing chickens

2011-06-17T08:34:00.000-07:00

Meanwhile, hidden in the grass, with most excellent camouflage, a tiny goblet observed the little black hen...

So focused on being invisible, he lost track of his prey!

eep! Woebegone held very very still, hoping he didn't look like a bug (or a toilet!)

feeling a little small for such a large adventure, he climbed to a higher observation spot (me!)

visions of a harness and saddle came to mind, and he was so excited at the thought that voiced it out loud!

it would seem that perhaps the little black hen was not so excited at the though as he was....

and he quickly pushed those thoughts from his head!

At this point, I thought I should probably introduce them properly

it was intense few moments, but I do believe that Woebegone still holds hope of befriending her....I saw some scribbles in the dust of what can only be described as a chicken chariot...

I'm still so smitten with my little hybrid Tyni, Boggle
(and I figure, hey, so long as I'm here and updating...)

I neglect this place so terribly

2011-03-24T09:40:00.000-07:00

but sometimes I stumble on it in my bookmarks and think..."I should post a picture...or three...or four..." (if I can remember how...)

So!

This is Jareth, he's a Lumedoll Koit, and he's become my Goblin King...and as such, he needed some goblins!

little tiny Goblets! (because small goblins are much cuter...and easier to contain... than big goblins)
That's Sam...

This one is Ignatz

Augie's name is pronounced 'awwgee' and she's (so far) the only girl Goblet I have

Pink and White Centaur

2010-04-20T11:23:00.000-07:00

Hey!

I'll be having another centaur up on DoA here soon

she's a pinkish color, with one white sock (missed the other front leg mold when I was pouring-drat!)
in NS and she'll come with a Cupid Multihead!

I think I'll only have a couple more of these guys available, at least until Fairyland comes out with some new Multiheads...or I get an offer I can't refuse, but all in all, I've made enough of them to satisfy myself, you know?

two posts in one day? Maddness!

2010-03-18T19:17:00.000-07:00

yeah, well, I was poking through my pictures and came across these pics of Sage again, and she's so pretty, and I haven't posted them here....I don't think!

Scrap dolls are my favorites!

2010-03-18T10:29:00.000-07:00

I had a little scrap cast face on my desk, and I though to perhaps carve down the mouth and resculpt it

unable to resist a little fun, I first took the bottom lip and carved two huge buck-teeth into it...

what happened then was I found myself staring at a Character! and once a face has Character, they become part of the family, much like my darling Pi, they just seem to demand to be kept and loved

the little face reminded me of Reginald Theophilus III (Otherwise known as The Mad Hatter) from Bri-Chan and Lily-Fox's AMAZING artwork on deviantArt

bri-chan.deviantart.com/

lily-fox.deviantart.com/

I couldn't resist, I drilled a body for him, freckled him, gave him blue eyes and now have a Young Hatter living on my desk

It's PI day!

2010-03-14T08:38:00.000-07:00

I don't really have time for more than a quick shot of darling π

I didn't even know there WAS a π Day!

but Happy Pi for all! hope you celebrate with Pie (cause math is.not. delicious)

Finally some snow!

Pierrot

2010-02-04T21:55:00.000-08:00

another scrap dolly for me! Meet Pi! ( π )

whenever I make new molds, I have to do a junk cast, and who am I to turn away a little scrap doll? Nope

I'll be looking for some matching fabric to make a hat that goes with her dress, her goat may get some punky marks....oooooh, or purple legs, yeah!

for reals this time, folks!

2010-02-02T11:23:00.000-08:00

I was approached by a friend of mine who had made a gorgeous wig and tail combo for the purple centaur, and I decided to hold off posting her for sale until I had received them!

I apologize for the delay, but I think you'll agree that it was worth it! Thank you Mimi for the lovely gift!

I'll be accepting offers on her through DoA until the 6th!

2010-01-28T15:39:00.000-08:00

Oh hey....I can re-size the images here in blogger? *facepalm* I'm a slow learner with this sort of stuff!

So, this last week I had my butt kicked by the common cold, and spent most of my time either sleeping or staring at the steam curling up from my tea cup (steam is so pretty)

being sick as thus, I did not put the lovely purple centauress up for auction yet, but she'll be looking for a home very soon!

a few snapshots of last years Christmas Adventures, in hopes that they'll inspire me to have some fun this year too! (even if we are horribly lacking in snow, le sigh!)

2009-12-07T16:19:00.000-08:00

We're busy working on a few new things, but pretty frost on the window does NEED pictures, yes?

Feathers and fluff!

2009-11-12T19:39:00.001-08:00

I've got something in the molding, and I hope it's goooooood

2009-11-03T18:06:00.000-08:00

Hmmmm, Flickr's pictures are very tiny when put here....

Still a work in progress, but....

2009-10-12T17:48:00.000-07:00

I found out what to do with my pesky gift head from Fairyland! it was cute, but I had NO body for it! how sad!

while I'm working on getting this sculpt just right, I plopped my Multihead on my new centaur body and fell in love! (now if only I had cast the human parts in something closer to NS!)

this was the first cast from my new molds, it's called the clean-out cast for a reason, you can see all kinds of crud trapped in the resin from leftover clay, dust, dish soap....it's a clean-out! the hands are atrocious, the arms don't match because they were from my scrap box

but.....the Ante sculpt can make ANYTHING cute, can't she?

2009-10-08T18:48:00.000-07:00

Been quiet, haven't I?

I ran myself right out of good resin, and while I was waiting for a shipment....I was busy with sculpting something else.....
Oooooh, it's a TEASER! WHAT COULD IT BE?!?!?! ahahahaha!

*tents fingers*

aside from that, I've just picked up my new batch of cream resin, and will be plowing through my NS list this weekend, please send me good weather and good casting luck! let the dyes not fail me!

cute picture!

2009-09-29T17:10:00.000-07:00

PukiFee and LittleFee faun legs listed!

*gulp* wish me luck! this is a little out of my comfort zone, though I have no explanation as to why I'm nervous

2009-09-21T14:47:00.000-07:00

*blows smoke off the dremel*

I think I better let this thing cool down some, it was getting too hot to hold!

how are things going my pretties?
good for anyone wanting white legs!

bad for anyone waiting for cream/NS skin legs, sorry you guys, my NS attempts this time around have not been good! I'm ordering more cream resin, and I'll be trying again, they failed that hard

I don't know if the resin I got this last time wasn't good, or what the heck happened, but I could not get anything out of those molds even close to NS, and I used up the whole darn bottle on those failures, ugh!

the white resin is my friend *pets it*

poo!

2009-09-19T10:35:00.000-07:00

having a rough day casting so far, might take the day off and play at a few of my other projects, and my White resin comes in I'll give it another go, me and the cream resin are not speaking as of now *pout*

2009-09-17T18:02:00.000-07:00

LittleFee faun legs *WHEW!* they eat a lot of resin

2009-09-16T13:02:00.000-07:00

have another batch of molds being cured right now, again, must not touch!

eegads man!

2009-09-14T12:03:00.000-07:00

Den of Angels is down for me! (and at least one other person, as far as I have heard, so it may be down for everyone!)

if you're PMing me on DOA, I'll get to it as soooooooon as I can, promise! I'm sorry, and I hope I can get back in soon!

Road Trip

2009-09-09T16:07:00.000-07:00

running upstate tomorrow, 5 hour drive as a passenger......each way....no CD player! ACK!

"Back in my day we didn't have those new fangled contraptions! we drove in cars that had to be crank-started! barefoot! In the SNOW! fightin' BEARS! You kids think you have it so tuff...GET OFF MY LAWN!"

2009-09-07T09:48:00.000-07:00

mmmmm, pancakes!

and then? I think I'll clean my house (the deep clean, not this" sweep and do dishes" that I've been doing all week)

out today!

2009-09-05T09:19:00.000-07:00

of to town today! I need bubblewrap! mom needs Googley eyes, that sounds like a perfect reason to go shopping!

(Maybe we'll find something more exciting than the above)

Drilling!

2009-09-04T10:25:00.000-07:00

Cat! Are you drilling?!?! (Eddie FTW)

ah yes, point of this post, we're getting there!

I cast my fool heart out this week every chance I could because I knew the weather this weekend was not going to be great for resin pouring

today, I am drilling, ow, my hands are cramped! my dremel is cooling down while I shake my fingers back to normal

so many people have mentioned wanting LittleFee legs that I may borrow a doll for a proper fitting, and this excites me!!! LittleFee are as tall as my Mini Riz, and I could make a knee piece that fit between her and the lower half of the LittleFee faun legs, and supply Mini Riz goat legs too! I don't know if there is really much market for those, but there might be!

this is my Mini Riz, Addie....she has no intention of actually staying a faun, but I'm sure I could talk her into playing the part temporarily

2009-09-02T16:28:00.000-07:00

roofing! BRB!

2009-09-02T11:17:00.000-07:00

we're roofing today and tomorrow....I've found that it's not really the heights that I'm terrified of, it's the ladder getting me there

I may be hard to catch ahold of today guys! sorry!

All your Faun are belong to me!

Fauning for Elfdolls

2009-08-30T12:27:00.001-07:00

OH YEAH!

2009-08-29T19:42:00.000-07:00

I totally have a pair of Pukifee faun legs sitting in the molding right now *waits very impatiently....no, patiently.....are they done yet...?

and thanks to Darthmermer, I'll be able to string them! holy crows my pukifee was strung TIGHT!

lucky for any hopeful owners, this trick will work for you too! I'll have to take another pic-tutorial

any tips for getting your dolls to forgive you after you've taken their leg off, and wrapped their faces in plastic for the sculpting process?

I'm gonna have to buy her a pony, aren't I?

not to touch!

2009-08-29T08:35:00.000-07:00

I have on my kitchen counter, a nice new batch of molds, all pretty and pink.....sitting for another THREE HOURS! before I can touch them

oooooog, I can't not touch! *WAAANT!*

I've distracted myself with all my usual haunts on the web, I've made coffee, fed the animals....

and now I still have three hours to keep myself from upsetting the molds

could clean the house...I guess...where's the fun in that? (besides, I can't trust myself cleaning in the kitchen right now! pink silicon! mmmmmm!)

after I pull the clay originals out of their molds, I'll toss them right back into a fresh set of pretty pink awesome smelling silicon, allowing myself two molds of each piece, for now...I might want more than that soon, so many people want!

I have a tiny cute measuring tape sitting here on my desk, and from the corner of my eye, it looks edible, I've nearly grabbed it several times to stuff in my mouth, maybe I ought to feed myself! yes! and go into the kitchen....and....just....look at my new molds....yeah

maybe poke them with a straw!

NO! no precious, mustn't touch!

but we wants to! they are pretty and good!

but they will be spoiled if we take them out too soon!

*flop* my inner Gollum has come, never a good sign

......uh, picture! *browses*

hmmm....I might have to start up-loading some random pictures from my HD, I'm running out! (and can't see any use for a relevant picture....you don't know me very well...)

aha!
that's random!

out with the old molds!

2009-08-27T13:12:00.000-07:00

the old faun leg molds have just about had it, and right on time too! my new molding materials should be here tomorrow!

so, what does that mean? that means that I'll have three sets for sale on DOA tonight or tomorrow morning
(maybe four, if I can coax the molds out of two more pours)

these could be the last sets I sell for $20, with the better molds, I'm hoping for better casts, and they will be up a little in price (don't know how much yet, we'll see after I start making the new sets!)

with the new sets will also come a few more options, elfdoll tinies sized faun legs, I hope. I might also do a couple of colored casts, I'll have a different set of cloven hooves, some horns, and maybe a set of ears to cast and sell

I'll also be stocking my Etsy store this time around

no post without pictures, we'll dig out another random shot...

eep!

2009-08-26T19:44:00.000-07:00

Hey lookit me, I have followers! *shy wave* hullo!

not too much to report on the crafting and casting, I was distracted by this little cutie today

I do hope to add Pukifee sized faun legs to the line-up...I just have to talk her into letting me restring her!

I also hope to offer faun legs for the Elfdoll tinies!
I just can't even hope that they will pose nearly as well as Fairyland dolls, nothing beats Fairyland for posing!

sunburn with added resin!

2009-08-24T14:15:00.000-07:00

I'm sporting a nice rash on my ear after brushing my hair out of my face with some resin on my hand...
so that's fun *g*

remember kids, resin in it's liquid state wants to attack you, eat you and make you look funny!

while I'm waiting for new molding, I sculpted a few more parts that I hope will be well received ("i" be fore "e" except after "c" and full moons and Thursdays....I may never get that word right, thank you Firefox for showing me the error of my ways)

Drilling a few more leg sets today, slow process, especially compared to how fast they have sold, I hope having multiple molds will make this much faster

hmmmm....a post without pictures of some sort is boring? let's see what I have on photobucket today....

nothing really related to faun legs, but this blog really isn't just for faun legs....

how about something really random?

that's what I'd like to be doing today, chilling with my pony

height differences

2009-08-22T16:40:00.001-07:00

These pictures show the height difference between the default human puki legs, and my faun legs

Puki to Faun, a leg swap tutorial

2009-08-22T15:58:00.000-07:00

please forgive this entry...I'm still learning to use this blog....and I can't get the words to line up with the pictures like I wanted, I'll tweek it later, but for now? instructions first, pictures after!

what you will need:

Pukipuki, faun legs, fishing line, and patience!

NOTE! if you want your puki to wear pants, or shorts or whatever, you've gotta put them on before you attach the hooves! the hooves are most likely too big to fit through any leg-holes

Take your nice Pukipuki doll, grab hold of his ankle (not just his foot)

give his ankle a little tug, you see that little silver hook around the elastic?

take a bit of fishing line, maybe 5inches at the most, thread the line
through the elastic loop

now that you have a hold of the fishing line, and the fishing line has a hold of the elastic, be brave, it's okay....I want you to un-hook that little silver hook, put the puki foot in a safe place!

now you have no foot, and fishing line around the elastic? great!

remove the lower puki leg, and the knee cap, keep that fishing line through the elastic loop

get your faun leg parts!

to the right, you have the knee, in the middle you have the lower leg, and then on the left is the hoof (picture below)

grab the knee piece

thread the knee piece, rounded side up, concave side down, thread the two ends of the fishing line through the top rounded part of the knee, and pull the fishing line until you see the elastic poke out the other end

now grab the lower leg piece, thread both ends of the fishing line through the rounded top, pull until you see the elastic at the bottom, the elastic is getting tight now, but it'll be alright

take one end of the fishing line, and thread it through the front hole of the hoof

now you are going to tie a knot,
make the first loop and pull until the elastic touches the top of the hoof, then make the second half of the square knot

make sure your knot isn't going to slip! once you are sure that it is a strong knot, go ahead and snip the long ends of the fishing line, and tuck the knot up inside of the leg

did you live? great! now you get to string the other leg!

slide the knee cap and the lower leg off

Faun legs made for Pukipuki dolls

2009-08-22T07:59:00.000-07:00

These are the faun legs I made to fit Fairyland's Puki dolls, I made the originals out of clay, molded them in silicon, then made resin casts of them

they allow for some pretty fun poses, and I've gotten so many people wanting a set of their own!
who knew?

Here, Harpo is showing off his newly painted legs

I'll be opening a shop on etsy soon! so if you have a Puki Puki who would like to be a faun or a saytr, watch this spot!

also coming soon will be a tutorial for how to switch out the default puki legs with the new goat legs

2008-12-06T09:02:00.000-08:00

is it tasty?

insane journal's stupid smiley face ads were driving me up the freaking wall, so I'm going to erase that and play here!

uh.....have a picture....
