Welcome to the first blog for Dancing Doll Cats, where I roam the feline way through jewelry, dolls, and fantasy novels. Although my students might not believe it, I'm not your average English teacher ... I've walked the wild side of theater in the hood, as well as performed on the Ren Faire stage.
The doll on the right is "Friend Gretel" by Obitsu ... It's true -- BJDs love to have friends ... My profile picture is "Colette," a OOAK Obitsu with a face-up by my friend Mariann. She's wearing the St. Gretel dress ... which we sold, along with the original doll, through Owl Moon Studios. I enjoy working with the BJDs -- when you switch their eyes and wigs, you can create a new personality, as well as a new look, for the doll. However, Colette got her "look" at BJDC Austin 2006 ... and, although she changes her wigs as fast as any court lady, Colette has kept the same eyes and face up. They simply fit her personality.
Pash't, the Egyptian lady on the left, often appears as our Obitsu mascot. She's a OOAK creation by Joy. I created her necklace and tunic ... leftovers from my master's project on "jewelry techniques for the theater."
Currently I'm outlining a fantasy novel using archetypes and actors from all the movies and TV series that I enjoy ... I just don't know whether we're going to China or Japan. Oh, well, it's the journey at this point that counts, not the destination.
May all your dances be happy ones!
