gratuitous craft post for the day

I posted the journal I made with a candyland board for the covers for my disappearing-swap-partner, and someone mentioned having been horribly upset when they changed the board. And so I had to do a search to see what they'd changed it to, and found this:

this woman is... I'm not quite sure what the appropriate adjective would be. Somewhere between absolutely amazing and completely insane. (I also really like some of her multimedia maps)

Remind me again why I didn't want to be an artist when I grew up? Oh well.

The doll has been dremeled (part 1) and now I'm working on drying contour putty (in the stupid humidity, so coat 1 is still not fully dry from last night) and various spraying of substances. For next time, I wish to remember the following:

*bug spray and June outdoors go well together
*wash hands between handling sawdust and handling doll parts
*cranberry juice + sealant does not make a healthy or tasty beverage
*light is your friend
*REMOVE bug spray & sprayed clothing as soon as it becomes no longer necessary

oh, and in other news? (doll drivel)

I am not ordering Soom's June doll, but I am seriously considering putting up a want-to-buy for one of her extra heads in the DOA marketplace. The sculpt is absolutely gorgeous, and she'd make an excellent Janet, but I'm not sure how I feel about the super gem girl body. (It's all very well for Lady to have slightly odd proportions-- she's not human, and a shape shifter anyway-- but real humans do not have bulbous armpits etc...)

Of course the gray skin would make a pretty excellent harpy... (sigh)
