Teeny- tiny voodoo head?!?!

My Dolls new hair arrived yesterday!,  It's eleven inches of super soft Alpaca hair. It's suppose to be a midnight black but after taking a good look at it in the sun, turns out it's not as black as I thought it would be. It kinda looks more like a dark brown... Still very pretty tho'.  I'm at a bit of a loss on how to clean and comb it without breaking it. I'll have to go online and checkout a how to video. 


           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a side note. There's a blogger on here  that goes by the name little deer who put out a post a few weeks back about making a custom little pet shop pet. Ever since then I've wanted to make my own. So I ordered a replacement Blythe body off eBay  and a little pet shop pet too. The LPS PET showed up yesterday. 
                                           Only thing is..I ORDERED THE WRONG SIZE LPS PET! 

As You can see from the picture she's tiny.The one I should have ordered was the LPS Deco pet. I'm so ticked off because I really like this one the most.I thought about going ahead and just using her anyway to make the doll , but I don't think it would look right. It would be this super big body and a teeny-tiny head would kinda like a shrunken voodoo head doll,lol. I think What I'm going to do is go to Toys ''R'' Us and checkout the Deco pets. I'll report back how it turns out -bye =) I'm also posting a link to Amiee's  post about her LPS Deco Pet.You guys should check it out ! it's very cool

THE RAVEN

Something amazing happened today and I just can't believe it! 


OK, I was writing in my journal and as I looked up I happened to notice this bird. Jet black, tho' way too small to be a crow. And tho it did resemble a crow it didn't caw. It made some other call that I never heard before. Then again, it could very well had been an adolescent crow? Maybe it just wasn't able to caw yet. Hmmm....I wonder if it was a raven!!!


Darkness 
              Falls 
                     upon 
                            me
                      Night and fog surround me A walk through the cemetery 
                         Tall stone crosses remind thee 
                            That death is no mystery

Speaking of ravens,there's a movie coming out about Edgar Allan Poe.well,actually about the stories he wrote. 
It's about a serial killer that bases his killings on Poe's writings. I'm gonna go check it out at the end of the month.   



I have also decide that I'm going to give my Blythe doll a makeover using Poe's poem the raven as inspiration. 
I'm going to reroot her hair with natural suri alpaca hair. I found the perfect color too!, it's called nighttime.
You wouldn't believe it but I had the hardest time finding a black color made out of alpaca hair. 


I will also be changing her eye color. I'm kinda torn between two colors. 
One is a custom blue set by pattyparis

Now the other set is a purple gray color called fairy dust:)

I may go with the blue, perhaps because I always wished my eye's were blue:) 


I'v also been shopping around for a dark raven type of dress. I came across this one on Etsy

It's a little plain but I still think it's cute:) 


I also came across this watercolor painting by littlelulus 
Makes me really, really want to start painting with watercolors again. =)
