Pierrot Lunaire, Op. 21

She has arrived on Monday, and I'm SO in love with her.
She received a name after Arnold Schönberg's melodrama, Pierrot Lunaire, Op. 21, as I love the piece and I love the story it tells.

I adore her chubby body and the way she poses.

I just can't wait to have her painted and ready!

Aviator.

Is he dreaming about the career of an aviator... or does he just have his head in the clouds?

"Watch out for the broken glass, put your shoes and socks on and come along with me."

The title for the post is taken from "Kentucky Avenue", one of my favourite songs by Tom Waits, containing some of his childhood memories.

It has suddenly struck me that Marcel, one of my dolls, is just the kind of a boy that could be Waits' childhood companion - mischievous yet full of energy and imaginative. Running round the neighbourhood all day, being a nuisance to the local community but at the same time charming in his own, boyish way.

And here he is, a hole in his sock and not-so-clean feet, after a busy day of climbing trees, running and making up big adventures. I envy him, I really do.

...dans la forêt

We had a super nice trip to the forest with my father, mr. New Lens and some tiny friends of mine this Sunday morning.
We even managed to get lost, but luckily made our way back home.

the interview - continuation.

The second part of the article can now be found HERE.

interview with Marcel.

I'm happy to announce that Marcel, my doll boy, has given an interview for BJD Magazine.
I daresay it's the first interview with a BJD doll ever. He was SO nervous!

You can read it HERE. the second part is yet to come.

finally!

I have finally completed and handed over my thesis (on CouchSurfing and Hospitality Club) some time ago - I'm having my final exam on Monday, but I already feel so free and light-hearted!
In the meantime, I have moved to the city centre, an now I share my room with a black cat.
Once I tame the chaos in my tiny room I'm planning to read all the books that have been waiting for me all those years. I'm really excited about it.
I'm also thinking about redesigning my etsy shop, and retake all the photos for it's listings. There's so much light in my room I'm amazed every time I walk in there during the day - my previous apartment only had a eastern window, so it was rather dim most of the time.
