Dolls Ahoy!

Rococo, Tanzen, and Hemakshi
Warning: Big picture, so you can see the faces, since they're all customs
Rococo is a Mattel When I Read, I Dream head with yarn hair sewn in the scalp center and glued on the rest as an undercut, on a standard Obitsu body (Kite is her doll and goes with her)
Tanzen is an Obitsu head with custom rooted hair on a DML Eve 2.5 with Barbie neck graft. Left wrist is missing a chunk, as is common with the Eve 2.0/2.5s.
Hemakshi is an acetone-shrunk Barbie head on a playline articulated Barbie body (not Fashionista), with...um...a little bit of custom sculpting and paint. Whole body is clear coated. One of the ears has been broken and glued back together.
$20 each or best offer

And, juuust in case you need to see it again, here's the other sales post.

Husband is the warehouse manager for an independent toy store. He will be working long hours until Christmas Eve, every day of the week, leaving me alone that much longer with only Conrad for company.

...although, it shouldn't be as bad this year, being alone with Conrad that much longer every day, because the kiddo is, well, a year older. He's able to generally entertain himself, as well as being generally entertaining, now. Plus, I have many, many unwatched (well, unwatched in the last 10-15 years) MST3K episodes in reserve (will have to play them on the computer instead of TV, though, thanks to Mr Button Pressy).

I will be staying far, far away from shopping venues for the duration, too, with the exception being the very early Sunday morning WalMart grocery trips. Whee. Oh, and, trips to the post office.

Either I'll start to go stir crazy, or I'll re-evaluate things and become a complete homebody. Hmm.

She also has rather ingenious leg articulation.

I really didn't appreciate her from my brief encounter with Eric's Sakurana, or even his in-depth reviews. For shame! She's a wonderful doll, and Eric did cover all the wonderfulness.

1. Oh, she does have extra hands and feet! They were packed inside her little pink zippered bag.

2. I HADN'T REALIZED SHE WAS SCULPTED BY HIROKI HAYASHI!!!!!!! (that may mean something to few people reading this, but, still, it's nice for me)

I'll try to take some pictures when Conrad takes his next nap.

*click*

And, for the next 18 hours, if you order the lowest-priced Sakurana and pay via PayPal in a certain way, she'll ship via EMS for no additional charge. This message is for anyone else who's been pining for a (relatively) good price on Sakurana since she debuted.

Open to negotiations and all that other stuff, as usual. Thanks for looking!

I'm preparing to update my sale/trade list again--a few dolls, many clothes.

Flo, if there's nothing in the update that catches your fancy, I'll be ready to ship the stuff you've already claimed soon, then.

Kinjou, I'm still holding the Volks body and the hanbok, too, no problems.

Ridiculous or fabulous? Also in red and black. If the heels were lower (or sturdier), I might be more tempted...

I don't.  Husband doesn't, either.  Our land line serves us quite well.  We don't really understand why cell phones seem so vital to life now, since it wasn't that long ago that nobody had the things, and humanity survived just fine.

Maybe we're just old fogies.

...so there's not damage done to more expensive parts?

Mine didn't squeal.

More expensive parts have been damaged.

Yay.

I'll also trade for a Dynamite Girl without one of the MZ head sculpts.  And, for all of the stuff for which I'll trade, I may even consider trading custom sewing, such is my desire to acquire those things without the loss of money from my personal records.

To those of you who have contacted me regarding stuff, I'll calculate everything later today, hopefully!



PS--Today is Conrad's birthday.

OK, link to Etsy is here.

Remember the last sales list I posted?  I still really want to eliminate most of it ( a few items may get to stay).  I've also thought of some things for which I'll trade:
•  Obitsu 25cm body/bodies, no magnets, regular skintone preferred, but, hey, I'm not picky
•  Volks Beauty Midi 25cm body/bodies
•  A Hujoo with either of the original headsculpts, any skintone
•  Um...I know there's more, I just haven't been making an obsessive list...  I'm open to suggestions, and heavily trading in your favor.   Flo, consider yourself as having a credit in the trade karma, too.

Thanks for looking!

Trying something new in the Etsy offerings...

Jumpsuits!
It's too short to fit over Momoko's torso, but, the fact that full-Pullip-leg-length doesn't look so bad on Blythe is enough to make me happy.

...with Kemper eyes and wig--the wig which is on sale on the Kemper site right now for $3.95.  $3.95!  This is pink milk straight out of the package (no restyling), and I also bought the deep dark blue version.  Size 3-4.  You should buy some for your small-headed bald dolls.  *Nods*

Just in time for Halloween, Mirpeva the Vampire (creative, eh?)

Lots of pictures if you click through to Flickr, as well as pictures of SUPER PINK HAIR Tarina Tarantino Barbie (Thanks again, Chris!)

A few pairs of 1:6 sunglasses--mostly Barbie, some CG and other.   Does $5 + shipping sound like too much?

I just lowered the prices for everything listed during August in my Etsy shop.  I may or may not lower September item prices soon, too.

I know people have urged me not to reduce prices, because that may lead people to wait for the reductions, but, I'd rather sell at lower prices than not at all...

I'm also not supposed to like Dals, either...but...well, I do like her hair, even if the rest--including the eyechips--would have to go.  But, even more, I like the December J-Doll, Andrassy Avenue.  However, since I'm also supposed to be poor right now (this is why I can't quite convince myself to spend $42 total for a Dynamite Girl, as per the previous post), I knnnoooowwww I won't be getting either of those dolls.  I merely post this because I want to share the cute.
