Today I made more 1:6 scale reading material while natalunasans went out and did errands.
Alison shows off one of natalunasans’ presents for me: a toolbox-shaped gift card holder from Lowe’s. It’s perfect for storing all the books and magazines that I’ve created on this trip!Here’s Alison’s dream journal, a closed book with a cover made from yesterday’s galactic deck of cards. Black foam forms the text block. Bronze paint marker provides messy gilt decoration, as well as the impression of gilt-edged pages within.Alison reads one of the original books that I designed today.Sea Folk Around the World is by Marina Delmar, with a study for John William Waterhouse’s “Little Mermaid” as cover.
To show off the last few books, I enlisted Carnelian and natalunasans’ catwitch. Both of them are Coomodel collaborations with Ouzhixiang in their Monster Files series of dolls, No. 4, the Witch. natalunasans got the human head, which she put on a body and styled as shown. Meanwhile the cat head, hands, and feet went to the aforementioned Evilcat. As for me, I purchased the Witch as a fullset and left her mostly as she came, although I did improve her body and outfit as mentioned earlier this week. Anyway, I wanted to compare the two, so they had a friendly meeting below.
natalunasans also got me two more dolls that arrived in the mail: Mattel Fashionista 90 Rainbow Bright, who I’ve been calling the gay Barbie, and Mattel WWE Superstar Naomi.
The gay Barbie has a fabulous shiny dress [at least on the front >:{ ] and very dramatic makeup. Her cool, deep dark brown skin matches exactly zero articulated bodies on the market today, so I have yet to figure out how to articulate her.The doll of Naomi looks very close to the person it’s based on, at least in terms of facial shape and features. I think that the skintone is too light and too yellow. However, look at that charming smile! She’s so cute!
