So I thought that I would re cap the 2016 resolutions I made last year, to see what resolutions I kept and what resolutions changed/I didn’t meet, since my doll plans definitely changed!
– Name my fairy prince
I did this, he is now named Kieran!
– Buy said prince a body
I kinda did this. LUTS released their winter event recently and one of the dolls is a Youth in Dark Warriors Bory Limited set, and they one head is exactly the same as the unicorn Bory head I have, just without the horn. I had wanted this sculpt in Brown skin but i found the head second hand offered in light tan skin. So when LUTS released this fullset I kind of decided that I would buy the doll in brown skin and get the body too, and as a result sell the Bory head that I already have. So that happened and Kieran is going to be a new but still the same sculpt 😀
– Sew Kumiko her hakama and celestial kimono
Half did this. I sewed a really crap hakama and I plan on remaking it out of better fabric but it did get sewn. Her celestial kimono hasn’t happened yet but I did pick up a cute kimono from Doll North this year that she wears 😀
– Sew/commission Ofelia’s fairy garb
I started this but then I was having second thoughts on the style choices and then my thoughts on the doll changed. So I’m in the process of selling Ofelia to upgrade her to a Elf Cherry head on a romantic body. So still the same sculpt per say, just a bit of an upgrade (and a bob job)
– Build Kumiko a diorama
This didn’t happen unfortunately so hopefully I can accomplish this next year.
– Learn how to use my airbrush
This also didn’t happen T.T … NEXT YEAR
– Attend a doll meet
This might still happen, there’s one I want to go to on the 18th of this month so as long as I’m not working I can go!
– Attend Doll North
I did this, as stated above. I didn’t do panels really since I was selling art in the artist alley, just participated in the raffel and the marketplace
– Practice more photography and maybe do some on location shoots
Um well I practiced but I don’t feel as much as what this resolution was intending. Also no location shoots.
So something that happened that I hadn’t intended on was I found one of my grail dolls on the DoA marketplace this year. She’s a Juri2010 head on an A-line minifee body and I’ve never been more in love with a doll in my life, she’s just so perfect I love her so much. I don’t have a story for her yet but she does have a character and I hope that if fairyland ever releases a doll with faun legs I definitely want them for her.
So there’s my 2016 recap. I’ll definitely write a blog about my 2017 resolutions and my doll plans for the new year so be on the lookout for that!
