BJD Dream Valley Doll Lazuli in Jean Shirt and Jacket
This is my Dream Valley bjd doll. His name is Lazuli. I gave him an interesting looking black wig. Wigs change the look of the doll a lot. Not too much. No too Little. He still looks like himself. The tail is attached by an elastic. So, it is not as if I can remove it. It is interesting to try to dress him. I need to account for the size of the tail. Most of the outfits have to enter from the top. He functions better with a two...
Barbie and Teresa Dolls in Bouffant Floral Dresses
I do not know if it is a bouffant or not. The outfit kinda looks like it. So, I just went with it. It is a new type of flower dress. This outfit is a little more elaborate than the usual stuff they wear. I first showed you the simple outfits. I am slowly working my way towards the larger outfits.

LOL Surprise Dolls in Party Dresses Kawaii
I did a new lol surprise dolls photoshoot. One is a pink heart dress. The other doll is in a pretty blue dress. I also gave the dolls cute little purses. It doesn’t add much to the photoshoot.

For the time being, I am going to see how far I can stretch this out. As far as backgrounds, I am...
Self Portrait: Julian Schnabel and Cindy Sherman Watercolor Painting
I made two new watercolor artworks. I first drew the pencil art. I inked them, before adding watercolor. The first painting was done Julian Schnabel style. Schnabel is an American painter and filmmaker. He is still alive and well. So, good for him. His style is Neo-Expressionism. It was interesting to make the fragmented style of this artwork. I added a lot of black ink in order to achieve this effect. The painting that I was mimicking was called in Andy’s Shadow. In my version, I am in the shadow of Julia. Julia is the name of my grandma....
Self Portrait Soft Cubism: Vilen Barsky and Alla Horska Watercolor
I made two new watercolor self-portraits. They imitate the style of Vilen Barsky and Alla Horska. Both reference paintings are in black and white. My version has color. I do not like the monochrome look. It looks a bit unfinished. It is for this reason that I added color to my self-portraits. The first painting shows Vilen Barsky’s wife. I cropped the reference material. I needed to make it a long vertical painting. Vertical paintings look better on Tiktok. Like all my artworks, I first drew the pencil, then I added ink over it. I erased the pencil lines...
