Long Time No Post!

  • Oct. 18th, 2009 at 9:25 AM

Hey LJ friends! OMG this semester has been exhausting. But it will soon be over. =)
Myliex is happy, but needs some photo sessions soon! I'm saving up for another MNF and I think her name will be Verity. Don't know why I've become so fond of that name. I'm thinking she'll be a white skinned Rheia with black or dark brown hair and blue or green eyes (depends on which eyes I decide Myliex will keep =P). Anyway, that's the only update I have!

Hope to get some piccies posted soon!

Whoa

  • Aug. 31st, 2009 at 7:49 PM

Omg, looking through a thread on the DoA I stumbled upon two pictures of my very first doll! I haven't seen pictures of her since she was sold back on '06. So bizarre.






She was the original Denali Wind! lol

Doll Wants and Frustrations

  • Aug. 30th, 2009 at 12:27 PM

I have a bad case of the doll wants.... I want this doll, I want that doll.... ugh, no monies!
Perhaps I'll order a MnF A la Carte from Denver Doll Emporium... on layaway.

Anyway, so I received my mom's old Limho and worked pretty hard on him. I gave him a new faceup, sanded him and sueded his joints. He's handsome, I forgot how handsome Limhos are, but to be honest, I've been so spoiled with MnF posing that he frustrates the crap out of me! I used to think they were excellent posers, but man, nothing compares to the MnF. They're so beautifully constructed. I wish they came out with a taller MnF boy, that'd be awesome.

Also, I bought a new wig for Myliex and some cute shoes from DDE. Can't wait.

...I want an entire army of MnFs. *sigh*

Before I Go

  • Aug. 24th, 2009 at 11:09 AM

Just a quick pic.
I start classes today and I'm freaking stressed because the UoA website is not functioning so I can't get the info on what classes I have today and where!!!! GRRRRR!!!! I need a paper bag, lol.

...freaking UoA! I hate you!
I tried calling administration... but alas, no connection. >.<


...awe, but Myliex looks so pretty. =)

NEW FACEUP!

  • Aug. 23rd, 2009 at 10:02 PM

I couldn't wait until tomorrow to take a pic 'cause I was so excited about Myliex's new faceup! Lighting sucks, but hey, the pic came out kinda cool and you can kinda see her faceup. =P

Photobucket

WHOOT! =D
Omg, a satisfactory faceup feels soooo freakin' good. =3

Another Wig

  • Aug. 23rd, 2009 at 3:43 PM

It's fun playing with wigs, I wonder if I'll ever settle on just one!

In the Red

  • Aug. 23rd, 2009 at 2:02 PM

Ooh, Myliex looks pretty in a red wig. =)
piccies )

So... my mom's giving me one of her old Limhos that just isn't doing it for her... so that means, I'll have another doll to take care of. =P I have no idea who this new dude will be, or even if he'll stick around long enough to find out. But, it will be nice to be able to take pictures with more than one doll, perhaps then I'll work out some photostories. =)

The MyMy Journal ;)

  • Aug. 19th, 2009 at 2:27 PM

Myliex, as the perfectionist she is, worked out a new, improved journal.

This journal has a sewn and glue binding, her previous journals were just glue bindings, which don't hold up too well.

Myliex Makes

  • Aug. 19th, 2009 at 12:26 PM

Myliex, or MyMy as she goes by in the business, binds books. In her spare time, she makes blank journals for boutique shops, but most of her earnings come from repairing historically significant books for museums and private collections.

Who is Myliex?

  • Aug. 17th, 2009 at 9:00 PM

I'm trying to discover more about this quiet girl who has been living with me for over a month now. Slowly but surely, I learn a little more each day. =)

Name: Myliex Tannat
Nickname(s): Mymy
Birthday: October 3, 1983
Sign: Libra
Fears: Being ordinary
Weaknesses: Easily distracted, flighty, hot headed, stubborn
Strengths: Dedicated, perfectionist, detailed, independent, imaginative
Favorite Color: Midnight blue
Hobbies: Reading, road trips
Hates: Large crowds, feeling restless
Likes: Books, green grass and clothes, particularly knitted things.
Profession: Book binding
Family History: Born in the suburbs, father John, a dentist in practice and mother Dahlia, a housewife, lived a rather quiet, uneventful and ordinary life. Her parents prided themselves in having the perfect "Leave it to Beaver" family with a mowed lawn and cocktail parties on the weekends.

Although Myliex avoids large crowds like the plague, she's a very social being who fairs well in small groups. Despite being rather reserved and typically quiet, people are usually drawn to her and enjoy her company immensely. Myliex usually doesn't have much of an opinion on most things, but when it comes to subjects she's passionate about, it's difficult to keep her quiet, in fact, she can get down right physical. She isn't happy unless she feels like she's creating and contributing something new to society. Her perfectionist tendencies ensure perfect outcomes, although make it difficult for her to finish most projects she starts. Her independent nature allows her to not rely on others, but if she isolates herself she can get lonely and drift into depression.

My favorites

  • Aug. 16th, 2009 at 9:17 PM

Again, I was reminiscing about past dolls and was inspired by a thread on the DoA about favorite photos taken and began looking through some of my old collections.

I hope you guys can share a few of your favorites too, I want to see them!

Here are a few of the favorite photos of my past.

Three dolls in a bed. Feet! They look so cozy. (Kale, Keeny and Story)

Thanks for looking!

Memory Lane

  • Aug. 9th, 2009 at 11:12 AM

I was just looking through old pictures of all my dolls in my photobucket account and I thought I'd post a few. I can't believe how many dolls I've had and sold... terrible. Lol

Anyway, in order of arrival here's the list and pictures of the dolls of my past. =)

Pointe Shoes

  • Aug. 6th, 2009 at 8:35 AM

So, I'm try to construct a pair of pointe shoes for Myliex. I finished making up the pattern for the toe box... but now, I have to figure out how to make the pattern for the shoe it's self! Any tips?

And what kind of material should I use to construct the toe box?

Vintage Eccentricity

Okay, finally, I was really inspired. Myliex just needed a style make over, and the rest was history. =P
This photo shoot felt so good for the first time in a long time. =)

Hope you enjoy them, and thanks for looking!

Lounging About

  • Aug. 5th, 2009 at 7:39 PM

It's always relaxing to play with Myliex after a long day at work. =) She's even more relaxed on a bed borrowed from my mommy. =)

Photo Funtastic!

  • Aug. 3rd, 2009 at 6:20 PM

So I just discovered this photo program called Pixelmator for Mac, it's everything I wanted in Photoshop, but a lot less painful on my wallet, only $60. =) I can burn or lighten up areas and there's a ton of different color and exposure options. It's a pretty cool program for us amateurs, and photo noobs. =P Anyway, I'm just using a demo at the moment, but I think I'm sold.

My little melon head

  • Jul. 31st, 2009 at 10:00 AM

Had some old fur laying around, so I made a wig! It's a really long pile which is great. Her head is such a funky shape, it took a while to figure our the pattern, still I could have made the fabric longer in the back, but oh well, it works for now.

My little melon head... (that's gotta be her new nickname =P)

Also, I'm leaving for the weekend to go visit my mama! Hurray! Fresh mountain air, green trees, thunderstorms, maybe even a fire in the fire place! Wahoo! =) Plus, I hear my mom has her little doll house all set up in their new place, so I'm looking forward to see it.

See ya'll when I get back! <3
