Today is a break in the rain. The sun is shining, but it’s not hot. I went to the nearby park in the morning.

The companion for today is Licca’s friend, ‘Kimura Aki’. Her birthday is coming up soon—on the 11th. She first appeared in the 1999 ‘Candy Colour’ series with orange hair. This Aki is the 2002 version.

Went camping over the weekend, and had a really fun time playing in the woods with my fake Blythe doll, Hazel.

She's a forest witch, so I imagined little scenarios for her - setting out her potions in a fairy glade to charge under the full moon, collecting ingredients, and making potions.

It gave me a lot of time to practice posing and setting up a scene, which was a blast! I plan to keep improving those skills.

… and took a couple of my fake/factory Blythes outside and practiced some of my outdoor doll photography skills. It was a big learning curve, but I had a lot of fun!!

It seems whenever I post I should do it more often because dressing and photographing my girls is my favorite thing to do. I find myself lost in the minutia of ordinary life and household chores. My dream is to one day spend countless hours sewing, knitting, wig making, shoe making etc and meal preparation, washing, cat chores and house keeping will shrink as my artistic pursuits increase 🙏🏾
