I'm wearing swimming goggles to protect eyes... Normal glass can't protect from gas which makes my eyes red.-_-！

April 11

I will finish casting on Wednesday. The days without casting are so beautiful!

I have a dream last morning that I was in a final exam in the college. It's something like higher mathematics. But I hadn't prepared anything. I could not understand the words on the testing paper. I was very upset, my classmates had already finished their papers, but I even hadn't started. I went more and more nervous until I realized I have graduated for nearly five years and I am a doll artist, no need for higher mathematics any more. Then, I wake up, released. It's a typical example dream in Freud's analyzing dreams. The test dream happens when one face something improtant, but s/he doesn't think s/he works hard enough.The dream tells that the difficulties in the past has gone, so the difficulties at present will be solved too.
I think it because I receive orders more than I thought after the magazine published. I'm happy and feel responsible. I hope I can work in both day and night, but after casting whole day, I don't want to move in night at all...so I have that dream. Test dreams appeared before my graduation oral examination and many similar situation.
It's interesting that after I read Freud's analyzing, my dream changes a little, it becomes not so obvious, but after analzying, I think it has the same effect as a test dream. It seems like my subconscious don't want me know I'm dreaming and what it for. Haha.

Sewing :D

Take them out piece by piece. I don't like this job... It needs 2 people to do the job, one holds the mold and one cuts it by surgery knives. But I'm the only one with 2 hands. >_< so it's very hard...

Arms, hands, feet and joint mold. I put them in one mold so that it will be less work on casting.

Feb 21

I made a preorder form and other web pages in the afternoon and at night. I'm not familar with coding.@.@ No matter big or small, everything needs me. The preorder form is special for the chapter 3 dolls, to make it easier for people who place an order at the first time from my website.
The second face up of the cat is done. I'm going to take more photos of the cat and Alice tomorrow.
The preorder period will open on Feb 25, finially, haha^-^.
Thank all of you for your watching and company.

Air pollution in Shanghai

冬至，落葬。 车子在高架上，一片灰蒙蒙的雾。特别是过杨浦大桥的时候，在高处望，能见度很低。

At last I think I haven't enough time to prepare chapter 3 before Christmas. It will be a silence Christmas for FairyGarden. What a pitty! I asked myself if I could rush... No, it's no good for making good dolls. So, you will meet chapter 3 in the next year.^-^

In order to keep them shinning as long as possible, I coat each of them by clear paint. But anyway, when you are not playing with her, please keep her in a dark box if possible.

( China blocks blogger, so I have to post via email or from my flickr. ^ ^

about your questions,

first, please tell me how to make dolls prototypes more smooth ?! its my biggest problem >.<

I use liquid putty, spraying on surfaces, and putty, filling holes to make the surface smooth enough for casting. But before that, it's better to sand them as smooth as you can, that will save much time on putty work.


what resin do you use ? epox-something or pol-something ? im so nervous about casting...
oh and do you use sylicone as formes ??

I use pol resin. Haha, although I've casted for many times, I'm still nervous about casting.><
Yes, I use sylicone.

The photo is a mold before I pour sylicone into it.

Something is under the fabric!

"Alice stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the mushroom…'Oh! I thought I would meet a caterpillar!' she said."

What will Alice find on the mushroom?
