*Faire

Arrived safely in Melbourne on Tuesday night; it was nice and cool but it started to drizzle as I was waiting for the tram back to my parents’ place. Typical Melbourne weather!

Went down to Robio yesterday to drop off 2 photo prints for the upcoming Blythe exhibition (opens this Friday at 6pm), and then spent time getting reacquainted with parts of the city on foot – strolled along streets of Fitzroy and Collingwood and browsed through various shops – I love the vibes this city gives off!

Then of course, i went back into the city and got a bubble tea before heading home – got a cup of kumquat green tea with double serving of pearls. Mmm, yum!

Since moving to Newcastle, I’ve started taking commissions for dolly faceups again, and this was one that I’d recently completed that I liked very much.

She’s a Volks Amelia, and the owner wanted her to be feminine, yet somewhat sexy. Generally, I do feel that this sculpt looks better as a male doll, but I had fun repainting this one as a girl anyway! Somehow, she reminds me of an old hollywood beauty.

I’m going to be flying back to Melbourne tomorrow for a short holiday, so won’t be able to work on any faceups for the next week or so, but when I’m back, I’ll be waiting on a few new commissions to arrive, so am looking forward to that!

Poeme doesn’t look too happy that I made her impersonate the Easter Bunny.

Hope everyone (who celebrates it) has a happy Easter though!
