Den of Angels

just a reminder, todays the last day to get your order in for ED eyes for this month. :)

http://www.denofangels.com/ed/

updated with more eyes FS. I found another seldom-used stash of eyes in my closet, so I'm clearing more out.
Also reduced prices on my remaining clothing and shoe items

Related, we've started the next ED eye group order.

I redressed June and Usagi today, with the plan of taking them out, but I had so many errands to run and things to clean that we never actually made it outside. I like how cute they look sitting on my desk though. Maybe we can "go out" on Wed.

---------

cleaning up and out time again!

DOLLS: Clothing and shoes FS thread

DOLLS: Eyes and wigs FS thread

sketchbook and (human) tshirt sales <--- Note that prices have been significantly lowered on sketchbooks and tshirts. I really want to clean out my storage areas to make room for new stuff, so give me a hand! :)

larger lolita (human) shoes FS

cute fabrics FS here with lots sweets!

... and as always you can buy Japan Ai: A Tall Girl's Adventures in Japan at amazon or your local bookstore! If you liked it, please recommend it to your friends, every sale makes it easier for me to do more books (which I'm already working on! :D ) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE making books.

Light and Onyx Soom are really interesting! what a neat way to utilize grey skin! I like their curves too. They really look like mythical goddesses!

there's some other interesting stuff over there too. I'd look around more, but their website, the popup on the left hand side obscures the menu and I can't close it. *_*.....
anyway,... and then there's this one, Spinel, who is so "romantic lead" from a movie. (LOVE the jointed hands. WANT) and then this Sabik looks like he was ripped right out of a traditional costume manga.

also, this dollfairy mermaid is AWESOME.

am still being spectacularly good though about not buying things, but it's fun to look.
ugh. so tired. don't want to be awake. haha.

Enchanted Doll Eyes order for June is closing, email me asap (today) if you want to join. I'm sending everyone who's already ordered their emails today.

thanks for your patience with me, I'd been out of town and then I got really sick this week. blagh. am getting caught up though! sorry for being a slug!

Just a headsup that I'm starting the MAY Enchanted Doll order! please finalize by the 30th!

Also, I took a couple photos of some neat eyes that came in recently (including MILKY) you can check this post

I hope VOLKS translates these history pages...! I can't quite read through the babelfish translation.

I wish I could go to the Dolpa in Japan right now! (or the NY one)

So thanks to people's suggestions, I asked Zolala if she would do a Unoa pattern for Haute Doll Magazine. The most recent issue of Haute Doll (June 08) features her pattern! It's an adorable dress and jacket. I was so excited to see this, it's so cute.

This brings me to another point though, that a good part of content in Haute Doll is due to people submitting or giving ideas. So if you have ideas for articles, or you have a favorite customizer you'd like to see featured, or you have a favorite clothing maker you'd like to see do a pattern, etc... won't you email me or Haute Doll to give suggestions? Thanks to those of you who have given suggestions. Each time I'm trying to do something along those lines.
my email is: aimeeATaimeemajorDOTcom

It was interesting to see the Lana Turner Integrity doll in this issue, too. I'm learning more about this time period recently and I thought the doll's facial sculpt and clothing was lovely. I was a bit squicked by how thin her arms were though. It's like everything else has such beautiful proportion, and then the arms!

I really wanted to go to the NY dolpa, but I guess I'm just too busy. I forgot the deadline, actually! But I guess it's for the best! Maybe next year!

I got these gorgeous doll boots from Dollheart the other day. I've actually been really good about not buying doll stuff, but these had to come home with me! Aren't they fabulous? I love Dollheart.

What's your favorite new doll item(s) (or doll(s) lately? :)

just a headsup, I'm doing another ED eye order, get your orders in before the 25th! thanks guys!

man... I'm just so tired and burnt out right now.

I'd really like to go to the NY dolpa though and hang out with everyone! But I'm not sure whether I should try to go. I always seem to overdo things and overextend myself. :\

it seems it was totally the right thing to do to sell the dolls that I did. I still want to sell at least 2 more.
I'm very much enjoying looking at the 2 I have on my desk (My Kurumi and my Lin) but... I'm so tired and burnt out. Japan was fun but exhausting. I actually took my Lin with me, but I took no photos of her at all (I know, what is wrong with me). and then when I got back I got really sick. I guess I just need a break for a bit. I'm sure I'll come around and be OCD about my dolls again this time next month.

oh my gosh, so cute and nostalgic!

also, upcoming US dolpa events:

am slowly catching up on the torrent of email I have from being gone for two weeks. and am sick. UGH! but YEAY YOSDS ARE CUTE.

This is my remaining doll family.
I sold 3 in the past week and shipped them off yesterday. I would like to get the number down to 10, but I am still debating. We'll see.

Honestly... I feel better having sent 3 off. When I get back from Japan I'm going to go through my doll closet and get rid of some of my SD16boy, YoSD and SD13boy items... whatever doesn't suit my current doll family that I can bear to get rid of.

I'm doing another Enchanted Doll eye order!. If we don't get another 12 or so eye pairs before I leave for Japan then the order will be in April. (April for sure, though.)

Kurumi body still FS, price lowered!
also my YoSD Suzuna is still FA

I am selling my Yukinojo for sure now, if you are interested, please email me. aimeeATaimeemajorDOTcom

Thanks you guys!

so... the cherry blossoms are blooming again in Southern California, which means... it's been a year since Sarah died.

It was so wonderful the effort everyone put out to do pictures last year for Sarah, but also in thanks to people we've met through BJD. I'm personally so very thankful for the kindness I've been shown through the BJD community. Thankyou. Please give thanks to friends you've met through BJD and let them know how much you care about them.

Kelly was thinking that it would be nice to do it again this year and create a tradition of it. If you are interested, please see the LJ com:

My YoSD Suzuna (Marzipan) is FA on DoA
My Sweet Dream Lucas (full)
and my Kurumi BODY are FS on DoA.

I will probably also be selling my SD16 Yukinojo
... and MAYBE my Jun T. :...(

There's nothing "wrong", I just have a lot of expenses this year and I really want to cut back in life overall. I still love my dolls but honestly, I've been feeling for a long time that I have too many. I think I will enjoy them more and really have fun with the ones I have, if I have much less.
