Lottie's World: Skater Girl

I found this cool gift wrapper with a brick design and graffiti that looks wholesome for my project. I thought it would be cool if I make a simple street or alley diorama.

Cute Toffee the dog trying to skate.

Here's how I set up the scene: just a square piece of cardboard covered with the graffiti gift wrapper for the wall, and grainy sand paper for the concrete floor. The lights are not stationary. I move them around to eliminate most, if not all, annoying shadows, just enough not to produce glare on Lottie's eyes.

Lottie's World: Tea Time and Bird Watching

I was finally able to make two pallets from popsicle sticks, and on a different occasion, I bought small artificial greens. I put them together and here they are.

A tea time scene with accidental bird watching on the side, lol. 

My sister told me that the dog in the photo reminds her of her old dog named Toffee. So I told her I will name this dog Toffee then.

I really like how the artificial plants and the pallet came together. The pallets look like actual plant boxes.

That's the hummingbird from Pocahontas, haha.

I don't mind my diorama looking boxy or isolated. This is Lottie's world, after all.

Some of My Barbies

I took photos of some of my Barbies because I had nothing to do, lol. Some of them have been rebodied.

Fashionista Nikki. I like that coat but the sleeve holes are quite small.

Sweetie. I did not know what to put on her so I came up with this.

Nikki with flat feet.

Summer.

Film Director Nikki on a ballet body.

Fountain Mermaid Christie. I love her pink hair.

My Afro Nikki, Foxxy Cleopatra. She's a ballet Barbie on Film Director's body.

Animal Lovin Nikki whom I call Kira instead.

Hawaii Midge looking a little drunk, don't you think.

California Dream Midge. I like her hair up in a bun.

Trichelle from So In Style. I have not removed the swimsuit I made for her since July last year, lol.

Two random blonde Barbies I put in dresses.

And a Chelsea-Breyer hybrid. I thought it's a cool match. The body is from a Veterinarian Breyer doll.

Another Doll-Related Haul

Here's my recent haul.

Let me start with the doll because it's a funny story.

I saved this bootleg Frozen Elsa doll! I found her at the mall parking lot!

She was on the grass, stark naked. I felt bad for her so I took her home. I don't know if I'll do anything with her yet, so I put her in my doll parts box.

1,001 Awesome Stickers book! It was tagged as a back issue so it was like 50% off or something because I don't really know the original retail price of this. I bought this for P75.

I love this page. It's stickers that parody famous paintings and statues!

This page is about travel. Not only is it fun to look, it's also very educational.

Robots! I like this page, too.

I think these stickers would really be helpful in my crafting.

These cheap doll items: a beauty set on the left, and a tea set on the right. Each set costs only P10. I only got the beauty set because of the miniature mirror, but I've already found use for the bow clips which is cool. I hope I find use for the rest of the items so it will be worth it. The tea set is perfect for my Lottie World project for a future tea time diorama, except for the spoons because they're too big for Lottie, lol. Oh well.

A 3D miniature house making kit from Japan Home Centre! It's called Kumitate Ritsutai Hausu, or "Assembled 3D house" in Japanese.

Look, there's even a miniature print on the paper insert of what's inside. It's basically just two pieces of styrofoam boards that have been pre-cut. I already cut these prints so that Lottie might use them, lol.

I didn't take a photo of the finished house anymore, but it's really tiny. Like, only my keychain toys and select dolls that can fit in it. I'll take a photo of them by the house next time.
