This is Puck. He looks a little strange. Don't worry-- he'll look a great deal stranger soon.

Two boxes. The first has no note, no return address, and contains three items. I assume it is from my MIA partner in the crafty detective swap. Or at least, I can't think who else it would be from.



two bags (giant messenger bag, fabric shopping bag) with gear stencils, and a rather pretty little wire & malachite tree charm.

The second box was my order from junky spot:



In this picture, there are two piles. The first one is the stuff I ordered. The second one is the insane amount of extra stuff that came out of the box while I was still trying to find the MSC. I'm not completely positive I got it all... there might be another Gamera DVD or box of pocky lurking in the plastic popcorn. And the pink thing is a disturbingly pink wallet with scary anime pigs on it.

And so then I opened the doll box:


More popcorn!


It's not a doll, it's a mummy! Wearing, um, Bart Simpson underwear?


Wow. I was thinking of him as eyeless, actually. Those are fabulous though. And he does look rather egyptian, when not shrouded in a cloud of reddish mohair (as he is in the site pictures)


Hi!


You're cute, but kind of creepy!

Yeah, so I'm waiting for the crafty detective swap mods to confirm that the first package actually *was* what I think it was before I post it in the gallery, and now I'm going to go to fencing. More exercise needs to happen in my current lifestyle. And more coatings research, and getting back to the jointing bits of doll sculpting, and my drawings of how to do wings. And I didn't salvage the broken clock from the trash at work to turn into some bizarre work of art at a time-as-yet-unspecified-also-known-as-never. Aren't you proud of me?

No clock salavge? What's wrong with you??

Oh well. The packages with all that STUFF look very exciting!!!

(Is he seriously wearing Bart Simpson undies?)

He is. They're kind of hideous. Although well made of nice material. And this means that he's now the only doll around here (except for some of the barbies who come with underwear tatooed on) who's got any underwear at all.

And then the comparison is so odd... he's this cheap little pre-yellowed white skin creature, but his joints are beautifully engineered compared to the awkward Soom bulbous armpit syndrome, and I can't find a mold seam on him, except for the fact his head-cap doesn't actually fit. Which is coincidentally not terribly much of a problem, since I was planning on making him an alternate one.

He...looks like some sort of creepy alien thing. The kind that reads your mind and uses you to destroy yourself.

His current pet name is "little alien"... eventually he's going to be mostly in brass-tone, and have hair and wings. Or at least that's the plan.
