Maybe a little silly out of context, but I wanted to take similar photos of all five of my dolls for use in a new website layout. So, yeah. These aren’t the exact shots that I ended up using (obviously), just part of the batch. Like outtakes, I guess?
Yggdrasillion arrived today!
She feels so strange. I knew, in theory, how big Yo-SD were, but it’s a whole different story once you actually open the box and realize how absolutely tiny they really are. I don’t know how anyone gets by with the even smaller BJD; they must be microscopic in person. She’s pureskin, but she’s brand new which just gives her resin the oddest feeling. Smooth but not at once. Her joints are a little crazy, probably because I’m as used to the “kneeling” system as I am to her size – that is, not at all.
Spread you wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
— “Butterfly” by Mariah Carey
These were taken for a different blog post, hence the strange size… but the set as a whole is kind of too cute not to share here, too.
I’m like a bird, I only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is, I don’t know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I’m like a bird, I only fly away
— “I’m Like a Bird” by Nelly Furtado
