One thing that is quite difficult (or exciting, depending on which way you look at it), is not only posing one rather heavy doll that is at risk of toppling over at any moment; is posing two of them. And trying to make it look convincing... I joined my friend Lyanne back in July to trial a method she suggested, of using fishing line (or any thick plastic line) to keep the dolls upright, or at least stop them from toppling over completely. It worked very well! You can see the lines in this photo of Lyanne's Stella with my Crow, they are simply looped around the doll's shoulders and fastened to a frame (a laundry drying frame). I'd be pretty nervous about stepping back and photographing them like this if they were unsupported by anything!  And here the lines have been magically "removed" using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12;  Not too shabby! Still, the pose shown below is still less nerve-wracking... this is Lyanne's beautiful Lahela in lazy beach mode - no chance of falling over here!

No, not made by me... I've given up thinking I'll manage to make something for the guys this summer (it's now autumn), so I bought a couple of tees and a checked shirt from a friend of mine. Her Etsy store is call myIQapparel and features beautifully made shirts and other clothing for Iplehouse EID men. Looking cool, Giovanni!  Or well, anything but Crow, which is his actual sculpt name...  Nope, he is much too urbane and polished to be named "Crow". He is provisionally being called Giovanni.  |
