Midas's Hair Cut

So with the resolve to work harder on doing things around here, came the resolve to get doll stuff done. The list for the dolls is a mile long and we often push it off in favor of other things. Well, I'm going to try harder not to do that, so this morning I gave Midas a hair cut.


He came into the barber shop apprehensive. "You won't make me look like a dork, will you?" he asked me as I told him to take off everything except his pants. I told him I'd try my best to do a good job, after all I have several dolls right behind him needing hair cuts so I have to learn to do well in order to do all of them.


That seemed to work to reassure him, so he let me drape the towel around him and get him situated in the chair. 

Cutting BJD hair is probably not that much different from cutting people hair, except I didn't wet Midas's hair down. Maybe I should have, because that might've made it easier to do. Either way, I was very careful and went pretty slowly. 


This is the end result. I'm not sure if it's perfect yet or not, but I guess that's the good thing about hair, if you don't like the cut you can cut it again. Unless you really mess up, that is. Then you have to get a new wig and start all over. Luckily, I don't think Midas's hair looks too bad, and I'm not afraid to go at cutting some of the others' hair now.

New Wigs

Image
Last time, I introduced Cory and stated that he would be getting a new wig. I shopped around a bit, though, because I really wanted a good brown wig, and I also wanted it to fit. One of the most difficult things I find in wig buying is getting the size that's advertised and also a style that's not terribly different from the pictures. Luckily, I found a brown wig on Fabric and Friends that I really liked. Not only was the color good, the style wasn't too bad either. I may need to trim the bangs a little, because of how they hang in his eyes, but I'm going to wait a bit before I go there. My hair cutting skills need work. Another character who needed a new wig was Cal. I really liked Cal's old wig, both the color and the style, however, it sloshed on Cal. Because it ran too large, even hot-glue sueding Cal's head cap did nothing to fix it, so I considered replacing it. I'd looked around a lot, but when I was scrolling through Fabric and Friends' wi...

Goodbye, Blogger!

Hi, guys! Long time, no post. So Blogger changed their set up on here, and I hate it. I find it kind of difficult to use because of how photos go in now and all that. It was never great to begin with because of all the glitches I experienced as I used it. (For example, if I left it open too long it would start having different technical difficulties, so you couldn't go to dinner and come back or anything like that.) And when they changed everything else and wouldn't let me go back to the old set up, I was like "you know what? Forget this!" And for a while I toyed with the idea of setting up elsewhere, but was a bit intimidated. I just did it, though, and it's amazing! So much better than being here on Blogger. (This is a personal opinion and if you use Blogger and love it I'm truly very happy for you.) My new blog is called Outcast Chronicles and is set up on weebly. I love that I find it so much easier to set up what I want and work with it and all that. ...

The Knight and the Dragon

Image
On a crisp fall day, Sir Damian took a walk through the forest. Finding a large, flat rock, Damian sat for a while, autumn leaves floating gently from the trees around him. From behind the rock at his back, Damian heard a sound. What is that? Damian looked over his shoulder... A little dragon! Dragons and knights being enemies, Damian leapt to his feet, hand on his sword, and prepared to defend himself. "Hello," said the dragon. "My name is Gene." The little squeak surprised Damian. He didn't know that dragons could talk! Now he just had to get a closer look. "I'm Sir Damian," Damian introduced himself. "I'm a knight." "A knight," the dragon gulped. "Aren't knights enemies with dragons?" Damian explained that many brave knights had fought big scary dragons to defend beautiful damsels and helpless kingdoms. "But you don't look so big or scary to me," D...
