I always have a really hard time purging stuff, but when I do, I feel fantastic… and wonder why I had been so attached to it in the first place… so I hope you feel this way once all is said and done!!!

And I have to admit, I’m shocked it’s so easy to get pets into the US. I mean I’m super glad so it won’t be that big of a hassle for you, but it does make me a little nervous about what animals can potentially be bringing in. Especially living in a military town where people come back and forth from other countries all the time. Scary thought.

Anyway, I wanted to wish you luck with your sales and success in working out Wrenwood Hall.

It’s a much easier process to take them back to the US than it was to get the originals (Max & Pudgy) to the UK. (That involved months of preparation, vaccinations, blood tests to prove the rabies titer, and paying for the USDA Vet to OK their paperwork for the flights etc.) All in all that was a nightmare.
It’s a simpler process going from here to there–both cats need to be upto date on their vaccinations & microchipped (neither are a problem since they are anyway), vaccinated for rabies and a flight certificate saying they’re healthy enough to get on the plane.

Thank you for your really lovely comments. And I started doing out some pretty scary repaints but you know, it really is true that you get better with practice. I’d recommend getting a knock off CG head and using it to practice on. Then your skills will improve and you can re-do your electra too!

Again, sorry for the intrusion, but I HAD to comment. She is absolutely beautiful, and definitely looks like the strong, intelligent, witty type to me – maybe of few words, but very profound ones when she speaks them. Lovely lovely job!

I really have a difficult time understanding the snobbery & the general unwillingness to accept 1/6 scale. As a business person/ artisan who sells their work–wouldn’t you think you’d be willing to expand out of the comfort zone when you see that there’s a niche for it? I know I would.

And no Sally, there’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with Fashion Dolls! Or Action Figures!

I thought about trying the printing on fabric thing, but my printer isn’t too happy just printing on paper so I have to find another route. I’m still thinking about painting it on fabric and trying to texture it in a way to make it look less plastic-y. My other option is to embroider or applique the smaller things (like the banners & pennants).

We’ll see. I’ve seen some 1/12 people do cross-stitch but i don’t have the eyesight or the patience for that!
