Howl's Day Out

We had a big snowstorm today, and so I took a doll out for photos in the snow. I got him back at the end of December and have been wanting to introduce him, but I wasn't quite done with his outfit yet. I'm still not--he needs a sheath for his sword yet--but I also wanted to get photos of him in the snow, and I decided today's storm was the perfect time. So immediately after breakfast, I grabbed him, my camera, and my coat and hurried out for some pictures.


This is Mycroft "Howl" Wolf. He's my winter wizard wolf. Here he is, standing in our front yard. Immediately after I took this picture, he tried to make a "wolf angel" in the snow. Before that he tried to do that same thing on his back and on his face. Our front yard is a little uneven...


He had an easier time standing on the rocks for some reason, but he may've just been leaning against the tree.


At least the snow wasn't so bad under the trees...


If it weren't for the snow on his cloak it would almost look as if this shot took place in the summer.


By about this point I was wondering what was wrong with me. My fingers were freezing, I was all wet, Howl was all wet, and the camera was wet. What sane person takes photos in the snow? The things we do for our "art"...


Finally, even Howl had to take a rest on a few logs up by the house. He couldn't wait to get back inside out of the cold and the wet, so that's where we went next.

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...
