bjd, cute, doll, photos, stop motion, stopmotion -

In this stop motion video, I tried to read some fairy books. I made the little miniatures and everything. The fairies also appear to play pranks on the ball jointed dolls that are trying to read. The fairy pranks range from benign to mean. The mean pranks come whenever the screen turns red and black. It is an effect I like using a lot. The special effects come in the form of rain. I also had the magic bjd doll put up a shield, and also shoot lightning. In the middle of the video, there was a bit of an...

Tanabata has become of a little family tradition. Brother person got into celebrating Tanabata with his girlfriend. I ended up joining in the fun, along with my mother. For those not up to date with the fun, Tanabata is known as the Star Festival in Japan. The celestial deities Orihime and Hikoboshi are together at last. They are only allowed to meet up once per year, on the seventh day, of the seventh month of the lunar Calendar. Since the Gods are in a good mood, the folks in Japan take this chance to ask for a bunch of stuff....

In this drawing, I feature a maiden playing the Cello. The cello is like a very big violin. It has a nice, sad type of music to it. I frankly enjoy a lot better the sound of the cello.

There are less cello players mainly because of the size of the instrument. The cello was invented around the 1530s. It belongs to the violin family. Some of the...

There are examples of ancient harps in Iran, Iraq, Egypt, India and China. Other versions later appeared in the continent of Africa, and even as far as Ireland. Needless to say, the harp has always been a pretty popular instrument in almost all parts of the world. The oldest one dates to 3500 BC. It was found in Sumer. I like saying BC, instead of BCE....

butterfly, garden, gardening, gardens, photo, photos -

It was very late at night. It was then when I noticed this cool looking butterfly. This butterfly usually wanders about really quickly. As such, it was rare to see it standing still. I took this chance to feed the mosquitoes and take a nice photo. I used the flash to take the photo. I had to inch closer, and closer in order to take a clear photo. My flash has a range issue. You can sort of see the darkness behind it. This is also the time when the snakes go out and play. So, I was like on...
