So get your paper out and start writing that story!

          This is a picture of me (Skull Kid) and legendary voice actor Chris Ayers. He was very impressed by my costume and asked for a picture with me, while I was trying to ask for his autograph. I was ecstatic. :)

          Just so you guys know... I'm selling a T-Shirt making book for cheap! :)}

          This is my friend's Etsy shop. She makes everything by hand from old watches, keys, clockhands and the like. She puts a lot a heart into her work and has a unique style, so I reccomend her stuff! ^_^ Thanks for looking.


          I got my BJD! Thank you who helped me get her with your commissions~! <3

          News:

          • 2/13/12 I did my first face-up on Sephi, and attended my first BJD meetup! :3 It was super fun. I also added a Wig Buying Guide to the blog with help from SpiritTigerRei. Getting ready for Kawakon with Nausicaa.
          • 1/21/12 New BJD making video: The body! I'm really obsessed with Gothic Lolita lately too :). I also added the Making Link's Hat tutorial, finally! ^_^
          • 1/16/12 I added the "Cosplay Chest" tab to showcase my cosplays.
          • 1/9/12 Current Projects: Nausicaa cosplay, manga watercolor drawings, and Lolitafying myself~! <3
          • 1/6/12 I finished the last of my non-friend requested commissions. Commissions are closed. Hopefully I can spend more time on my manga, making a BJD (since I got a dremel tool and a bjd making book) and finishing a cosplay I started 2 years ago, Nausicaa. Saving up for anime cons. I don't want to have an artist ally booth anymore... too much work. :P 
          • 12/26/11 Best Christmas ever! I got the Yoshida BJD making guide, a dremel tool, and all of rorouni kenshin! Yay! I just compiled a translated version of the book for download (I didn't translate it of course). It's my latest blog and is also a new link in the How to make BJD tutorial tab! :D Merry Christmas guys! Btw, I also changed Sephi's eyelashes. That was scary and it took... too long. She has big obnoxious sparkly ones now! :)
          • 12/16/11 I got my BJD on December 12th! She's so amazing! I named her Sephi, after three days of trying to think of a name. The day after I got her I made her some pants and a shirt. I'm really pressed for time and money so I have nearly no time for  commissions. Thankfully I only have a few left. I'm making a photo compilation of all the parts of my bjd so it will be easier for me, and others, to understand how to make one. Yayyyy!!!! :) Thank you guys for the commissions, I could have never gotten her without your help~! <3
          • 11/28/11 Finished another Commish, still waiting for my BJD and clothes to arrive. Thanksgiving was good and soon it will be my birthday! Yay! I've been working on manga in my spare time. I'm going to make (eventually) a guide on how to buy from AngellStudio and a basic "How to understand the anime, Bjd, lolita culture: for parents" video.
          • 11/13/2011 Commissions are CLOSED! I will work on what I have, but will not accept new commissions till after the holidays. Thank you for buying! I ordered my BJD! YAY! 
          • 11/9/11  - Back from a death defying anime con. Got sick again! :D Will keep working on commissions, I thank you guys for waiting on your stuff. I made those banners for the site (See, I didn't lie!!!). Have enough for my BJD but need some more caus.... well, I splurged on a dress for it. :D <3
          • 10/18/11 - Working on Commissions, finished some, added more! O_O Please have patience as I have a cold this week -_-. Thanks for all your support! <3
