Trouser Monster

I make rod puppets. Here's what I discovered some people do with my puppets.
.
Before you even ask: no, this is not my husband. MyHusband said that his trouser monster is much bigger and that he has no need of a fake one.

Great Cow Harbor

Our town, that of Little Cow Harbor, is next to and west of the township of Great Cow Harbor. Across the sound from these towns, lies the state of Connecticut.

.

Both harbor side townships are heart breakingly beautiful. Here are a couple of shots from the other evening.

Devil Made Me Do It

This was in the party store last nite, where we found completely unsuitable eyeballs for Nine and bought them anyway.
.
This thing was huge. We loved it.

LJ Invitation

Another quick reminder that we are going to be out on LiveJournal, with our "in the studio" "behind the scenes" chatter.

Find my LiveJournal here, http://catcara.livejouranl.com where our talk of resin BJD dollies and clothes and accessories in progress will be.

Flesh the Color of a Glass Gummy Bear

OurThird is a commercial toy proto typer by profession. She is probably the finest boutique resin caster in the country. Certainly she is the best looking and the most creative.
.
Two of our goals with Nine is that each must still qualify as one-of-a-kind and that each muststill be a gallery arena artist product as opposed to a commercial toy product. This is not your average resin BJD.
.
Here she is, the very first look after literally years of work by, us, three Scorpio friends.
.
Keep an eye on her. She's an unusual doll. We have more than one surprise in store with her for you.
.
Speaking of surprises, the piece in this photo is on her way to Anime Con. Watch for her in person there.

Yes, folks. I know this picture is scary. That's what makes it funny. This photo is meant to be a joke. This is not what Nine, when Nine is finished, will look like.
.
At least, we hope not.

Dolls with Souls

If you're in Australia, and you possibly can, please by all means check this show out.
.
I stand on the top of my hill and I yell, "Whoo Hoo!! You GO GIRL !! Go go GO !!!" Whether or not Beth plans to be at her own reception I've meant to ask her, because, well, Australia is a little far from Vermont.

Youth Without Youth

Francis Ford Coppola. Heady stuff; literally. Not for the "faint of mind".
.
A man is struck by lightening. Upon his recovery from the strike, he finds himself young again.
.
Romania. Switzerland. India. Snippets of the man's life from the turn of the twentieth century until, possibly, the era of the Apollo moon landings.
.
The film explores the beginnings of consciousness, the transmigration of souls, the evolution of man and the elasticity of time. It is steeped in genius; metaphorically and in its exploration of. I would tell you that it even explains death.
.
A romantic film. Artistically and philosophically a compelling movie for the intellectually inclined.
