This is the last photoshoot featuring my Odette bjd doll. I tend to split the photoshoots in two, for organization purposes. It also saves a bit on loading time. The photos that I tend to take are huge thanks to my trusty Fujifilm camera.   It is almost a decade old, but it still turns on. Most of the photos I take them vertically.   They tend to look rather nice on the cellphone. Also, the dolls are easier to pose vertically.   This time I used a reference book for the photos.   As much fun as it is...

Saung is a Burmese music instrument. It is the only surviving harp of Asia. This instrument comes in different shapes and sizes. The saung is typically made of lacquer, and it is decorated with cotton tassels. The instrument usually has 16 strings. The instrument was into Burma around the year 500 AD. It is said to have originate from somewhere in Southeast India. There are 14th century song poems that were companion pieces for the instrument.

This is the first part of my Odette photoshoot. I got her a new red dress and I wanted to take some cute photos of the doll.

To Get the Book: Scary Cat and Birthday Mime - Kindle edition by Blanco, Teresita. Children Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. This is another one of the raw pages from my Scary Cat book. These days drawing or publishing books is a bit of a hobby. If it is not an item description for a Dark Souls weapon, nobody is interested in reading it. It is interesting to see the way the world is going. Well…books had a pretty good run. I even doubt if you are even reading what I am writing underneath this cute drawing. Sigh…it is hard to...

bjd, doll, photo, photos, photoshoot, vampire -

Today, I did a little photoshoot of my vampire doll Candice. She is wearing the historical jammies she came with. Even her undergarments are Victorian. Vampires seem like a Victorian era type of deal.   When one pictures a vampire, the fashion that comes to mind is from the Victorian era.   Then again, the woman outfits of those times looked pretty amassing. Even today, a lot of maidens still wear outfits that resemble those gowns.   It is just one of those things that never goes out of style, like 80s. As for me, I only bother to wear...
