Inspiration: Neil Gaiman's Address to the University of the Arts Class of 2012

This a bit of a long watch but if you're an artist (or an aspiring artist, like me), you MUST see this. 

Neil Gaiman, you are awesome.

Found here.

To my cat Loki

My cat Loki left us today. He was only 11 months old. 

I'll miss you little buddy. :(

From China to Philippines

I was supposed to write a post about the clothes I made for Alice since she got here, but my hands instinctively wrote about Alice's journey from Doll-Love's headquarters in China, to my grubby hands here in the Philippines. The clothing post can wait.

The first time I saw BJDs was back in high school/early college. It was Mistula, the Philippine's first virtual band (and the first doll band). I was fascinated. After watching them on TV, I researched a bit about BJDs - and found out how expensive they are. My heart was crushed. As the eldest child of a low-middle class family, I thought I can never have that amount of money to blow on a single doll. I forgot about BJDs and moved on.

Starting Over

Hello non-existent followers! XD You may have noticed that most of my posts are gone, and I only left the small FAQ post. I deleted them because I'm not happy with how I wrote them. See, I've been in a blogging rut for a long time. I've been trying hard to re-start since I killed/abandoned my thrifting blog ages ago (that blog did pretty well, IMO). I stopped blogging for a year, then created a crafting blog a few months ago, left it, started a BJD Tumblr blog (its still alive here and has a decent number of followers, teehee), and now I made this BJD-themed blog. Well, well, well.

I've been itching to write, to share things I made, my musings and what-not. There are a lot of things I wanted to share, but I lacked the initiative to actually take photos, sit down, and type down a post. Way to go, self.

Anyway, here I am again, trying to get back into this blogging thing I once loved. Maybe, just maybe, I can actually make it work this time. I hope I can commit this time.

To get things started on my end, here's my game plan:

• WRITE! I've made a number of BJD clothing that I want to share. I'm also whipping up some photostories. 
• CREATE! As mentioned earlier, I make some BJD clothing. I'm actually working on a new set right now, which I should write about once I finish the piece.
• TAKE PHOTOS! Or rather, organize photos. I have a bunch of photos in my drive, waiting for me to edit/post them. Most of them go to my BJD Tumblr, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to post them here too.
• LINK UP! I know several people who have BJD-themed blogs. I should contact them to exchange links. I should also try to promote this blog, once I put up a nice number of posts.

So there. Sorry for the wall of text. I'll be getting back to regular (???) posting soon! To reward you for reading until this part, here's a photo of Alice with her friend, Maya.

Lets do this!!!
