Rickmaniac on the loose

OK first of all.. WHY Hermione of all people? Well.. Mostly because I wanted a girl-doll I could sew girly stuff for. And I thought I might as well stick to the Potterverse... and then... Hermione is, all things considered, the most tolerable girl in that pantheon. (unfortunately, that's not saying much)

( but anyway... here's my newest doll :) )

OK. I'm in love with a resin head! After some confusion at the post office (the idiots had delivered the parcel not on our own post office but one a few miles further away... - luckily I had sent hubby on the Pick-Up task, while I was at work, and he wouldn't risk coming home without my head two days in a row!

( Soooo.. on to the opening: )

First.. if you're feeling a sense of deja vu it may just be because you've seen this on my LJ ;)

Sooooo I was checking the tracking number on my Raam, and finally it dawned on me to use the danish site instead of the Korean one, who had him still in customs. And lo and behold: He was AT OUR POSTOFFICE!
Needless to say, I rushed out of the door as soon as the ordinary mailman had been there with the customs bill. And MORE WOOT! Instead of the 7-800DKK I had been prepared to pay, he was only taxed 120DKK (less than $20!)

The explanatioin to that came when I had opicked up the parcel: The value on it was listed as "Doll, US$ 45" So yay for "cheap" dolls!

( And of course there is PICTURES - right under this cut! )

Sevvie got some new pants today, I'd bought them online and ... well.. they kinda sorta inspired me *eyebrow wiggle*

( 7 pics under the cut. Risky perhaps, but should be worksafe )

Right.. these dolls (well in this case, mine and Big Kid's)

They have means of inspiring really really odd and random stories from time to time. I can't even blame this on drunkenness or fever, though.. yeah.. it seems like that...

( On to the weird doll pics )

OK I can't even promise to stop soon with the doll pics. Because I'm having all too much fun with Sevvie.

Last night, it snowed again *GAH just as you thought spring was coming!* so this morning, I made him a pair of (fingerless) gloves, a scarf and a hat so he could go out and play in the snow.

Later on I decided to make the pics appear like they were taken some time in his childhood. So ... yeaah well.. nuff with the talk, onto the pic:

More doll-picspam... Despite my rather obnoxious cold (oh what a lovely way to spend some days off... This was supposed to be my weekend, dammit!) I managed to sew Sevvie a blouse today. T-shirt of sorts, in an attempted early 70ies style... (poor boy!)

I blame it all on kamion btw...

What's that you're wearing anyway?"

( lookie here... 3 pics only )

First.. Not sure if I've mentioned it.. but these Ball Joint Dolls are HIGHLY addictive. So after first Big Kid got one, and I got one, the turn now came to Little Kid (who, at 12 isn't really "little" anymore - she's taller than me...)

And well.. she got a girl-doll and...

Seriously.. I HAVE to show off...

I never counted myself among Those Who Could Sew, nor did I ever plan to enter their ranks.

But getting these BJD's - and especially getting a CUTE girly BJD (heh and yeah.. me who has never played with girlie-dolls either...) has apparently triggered some dormant gene in me because I've been sprouting out clothes for Dina (Little Kid's doll) since we got her last Wednesday.

( So.. have a look under the cut at what I've made so far )

Today was the day for the traditional easter lunch at the in-laws (yes, today is a holiday, here)

And since Little Kid got her doll yesterday, AND I wanted to use the oopportunity to photograph Sevvie in different surroundings, we brought the dolls... Needless to say the rest of the family were staring at us (OK .. me!) with the "lost final marble" look...

Oh well. Their loss...

Below the cut is some of the pics that were taken. And yes, we had FUN! (even if Sevvie smashed his nose and had to get emergency nose-surgery... I'd planned to sand him down anyway.. just not with a nail file...
(  Pics (all 7 of them) below this cut )

Thanks to majmunka, Severus now has a cauldron so he can make his beloved potions!

( See the pics (only 4 this time) under the cut )

Today I was going to meet another Doll-o-holic after work, so I figured if I had to bring Sevvie along all day, he might as well see where I worked. It was a lot more fun than just leaving him in my locker at work..

So here's Sevvie in a train :o)

( Several Severus pictures under the cut )

OK first of all.. This is a conglomerate of several posts made over at L***Journal. So some of you may have seen some - or all of this - before.

It also means that this post is extremely picture-heavy and will take a while to load. In the future, I promise to post Sevvie in smaller doses here ;)

And and then, just before the cut, a small explanation to those who may wonder WTF an "ABJD" is. It stands for Asian Ball Jointed Doll. Posable dolls made out of resin. As these dolls are handmade, they're priced accordingly, so at the moment I only have one *sniff-sob* (well and my daughter has one, she was the one who introduced me to this hobby...

Anyway.. off to the spam:
