Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.

How beautiful~
Makes me truly happy that I married my best friend. ♥

This stuff could work nicely for casting flexible doll shoes…

This is an amazingly useful website full of jumping off points for more research. It’ll help you learn the absolute basics of mouldmaking, the terminology and the materials. When you know the basics like that you can google more information. It’s far more concise and helpful and easy to read than anything I could write, so please go and grab a cup of tea and have a read if this is what you’re interested in doing.
It’s written by the mould-making and casting technician of Nottingham Trent Uni, so it’s aim is to get you informed of the basics so he doesn’t have to repeat himself a thousand times I guess! I remember my screenprinting tutors at university used to get so angry when they had to explain the basics again and again and… again… and again…
It’s got info on mould types (split mould, skin mould, plug mould), casting and moulding materials (polyester resins, polyurethanes, latex, silicone), vac chambers, it has a list of suppliers and it has a workshop glossary and guide.
It is a British website so the suppliers are UK based, but if you live in the states and are interested, Smooth-On is your best bet.

I finally found a guide to sprues, vents and gates that I can understand! If you are a caster and have a problem with bubbles you should read this.

Thanks for the link! I’ll have to check out this tutorial.

A friend of mine has some exotic birds such as a macaw and a parrot.  I asked him about feathers to use on my dolls and he gave me lots and lots of feathers! Beautiful and enourmous blue feathers and green with red. But the ones I love the most were the tiny tiny little feathers! Take a look at the size of the ones on the tird picture! These are only the tiniest I’ve separated from the rest. There is no macaw feathers on the picture but there is some yellow and red and green that are from the parrot. I have no idea of the owner of the feathers of the first one! Forgot the name =/

Those are so cute!
I’ve been trying to build up the courage to knock on a neighbors door…

He has SO many parrots, and different kinds too, and I’ve wanted to ask if he would sell their discarded feathers to me. I should just go ask, and stop being a wuss. haha

Yea that’s the state of things for me and the gf atm. I borrow some room from my folks storage for a lot of my older stuff, but I keep all my figuarts and a few others at the apt cuz shiny :3 I do want to make a display for the gfs dolls as a gift soon.

heh yeah
I forget that our zords also have to compete with our figuarts/other action figures for space as well. :/

That would be super sweet of you! I’m sure she would love that~ ♥
Do you have pics of her dolls? I’d love to see what she collects. ^_^
