2015 ADAW 4/52

Dear Readers,

Oh I have missed the blog world very much!

I miss reading about your life, looking at your beautiful pictures and discovering amazing new books and dolls featured on your posts!

I miss writing on my blog too.  I am trying to come back gradually.   Today I setup a quick scene to introduce you to my new doll.  She is Yeolume, the future daughter of Pullip, a ten-year old elementary school student.  

I find this concept quite funny.  Pullip is only 16 but Groove created a new character that would exist only in the future.  Yeolume apparently means "fruit" in Korean.  The first release is named "Podo".  She is dressed in a school uniform.

I named my first Yeolume "Valentine".  I imagine her to be shy, gentle and caring.

Since she is about the same size as Dal doll, I decided to buy another school uniform for my Dal so they both can attend the same school.

Here below is my friendly Scout telling Valentine to not worry about making new friends at school (^_^).

I want to take some close-up shots of Valentine so you can see how cute she is!  

Her body is not easy to pose though.  It's not the same type of body as the other Groove dolls.  Her body reminds me of the Licca body.  It's not really ideal for posing so I may change it to an Obitsu or Pure Neemo.

I wish you all a lovely Wednesday!

Hugs and kisses xoxoxo

2015 ADAW 3/52

Dear Readers,

Thank you so much for your kind comments on my previous ADAW picture.  I really appreciate your words of encouragements!  I am not a good photographer and I have so much to learn in this field.  Sometimes it's depressing to look at my photos but I am looking forward to learn new ways to improve so it gives me hope when I read your response to my blog posts ^_^

Today's picture features Dal Cinnamoroll 10th Anniversary!  I wanted to do a shot of boredom and this Dal doll was the perfect model because her eyes are somehow a little sad.  She is looking outside her house, her elbow against the window sill.

"Mélancholie quand tu nous tiens."

(Melancholy when it holds us.)

I don't know why the picture posted on my blog is so dark.  The one I have on my computer and Flickr is much better!  If you want to see the difference, here is the link to my photo on Flick. 

The dollhouse is the Barbie Totally Real Dollhouse which is quite a versatile house because of all the different walls for each room.

You have probably noticed that my ADAW photos are mostly of Dal dolls.  It's because I have decided to showcase them in this photo project so people can see how beautiful they are.

I am afraid that Groove, the company that produces Dal dolls as well as the better known Pullip dolls, will stop making Dal dolls, There have been only 2 Dal releases last year.  Groove had already discontinued their collection of Ai-dolls and J-dolls so it is a real concern to see the Dal production dwindle down to only two in 2014.

I will maybe let my other dolls into the ADAW project from time to time but for now, Dal takes the spotlight.

I hope your Saturday was less boring than it has been for Dal Cinnamoroll!  Enjoy your weekend :)

2015 ADAW 2/52

Dear Readers,

How are you?  Have you kept your resolutions so far?  I have been very busy at the office so it wasn't an easy schedule. But finally it's Friday and I have some free time at last.

I am one week behind on my weekly photo project "A Doll a Week 2015" (ADAW) so I'll post two pictures this week.

The first one is Little Dal Lady Vixy on a Picco Neemo body.  I gave her a new wig and I think she looks much better with long hair.  

The picture on Flickr is better than this one.  For some reason, my picture look so dark on blogger! 

The horse and riding clothes are borrowed from Barbie Chelsea (who came in the same playset as the horse).

The background is a quick watercolor painting I did in a few minutes.  It was fun to paint again so I'll probably do some more for my future backgrounds.

I plan to take another picture tomorrow to post it on time.  I really hate being behind on my projects so hopefully it can be done :)

I hope you will all have a lovely weekend!

2015 ADAW 1/52

Dear Readers,

How was your weekend?  Are you ready for Monday?  I wished I could still be on vacation mode but it's time to shake it off and start 2015!  

As usual, I made a list of New Year Resolutions and one of them is to participate in the photo project ADAW 2015 (A Doll A Week 2015) which is basically to post one picture of a doll once a week and post them on flickr,

For my first picture, I chose Scout (my Dal Tweety) because she was so fun to work with during the Dalicious 2014 Challenge.  I also chose her because her fierce and determined character are traits I will need to accomplish my goals this year! 

Scout is looking ahead at a year full of new adventures and discoveries!

Do you have any New Year Resolutions?  

Whatever your projects may be for 2015, I wish you good luck with them!

Have a great week everybody!
