Gavin ... I swear. To be fair he was my first child brainchild other than Amanda-but I don't have the same connection with her. She borders Mary Sue in her general awesomeness so needs some work. Gavin is my difficult boy-timid, moody, sensitive, and broken. He gets all my hugs (and probably hates them because he doesn't like to be touched, but yet I digress).

I have made major scarf progress:

Yes, I will have to do work on the ends. Also, Photobooth flipped that backwards, so ... it happens. :D

So Flickr is a brilliant thing for a BJD newbie when you couple it with DOA related Google searches. I discovered a company that does more odd colored wigs of good quality in some short cuts.  Meaning, YAY, Gavin can have a white wig (oh and one is perfection if it looks the same as the photos on the Owen sculpt) and I won't have to become a salon artist. So, it looks like I'll be putting in a For My Doll Order down the line. Now, my inclination is to order 7/8 + wig cap, mostly because even though he can where 6/7 he is a JID boy, so I don't want it to be A) too tight B) too short. Gavin's short hair is a little ... unkempt.

Also, for shoes (ok, boots-he DEMANDS boots and I blame my SO for this 'horrible' boot influence), Alice's Collections is a win.  This is a MAJOR excuse to buy more clothes because I can custom size Stacy's Pink Ocean. She has this frilly dark blue/purple shirt that he must have ... and more zippered pants ... then there's the purple hoodie ... And I think they have a non SPO waistcoat that will fit (maybe with a little alteration) ... vests! I LOVE them on men. Sexy waistcoats and suspenders on men, and cute, cute, cute on boys. That is so why I'm also tempted by the JID Classic Set on Iple ... I know zippers + waistcoats + suspenders, am I on?

Yeah, that is absolutely why James wears a waistcoat.  I am NOT going to lie-pretty elfin featured man-child gets vests that show off chest and shoulders ... Yep. Artist service? (Yes, James will be a very FUN doll to dress ... OMG, excuse to sew Named One things ...). Wait until he grows up more (oh yes, there will be older James down the line)!

I'm ... I'm beginning to see how people go crazy in the BJD hobby.  It is bringing out silly girl feelings like I've not had since I was a silly girl. Oh I've missed it! The pinboard is out of control!!  Mwahaha!

Also, haha, I accidently activated an OSX look up feature when I was editing Gavin's name: "Gavin is a male given name. It is the late medieval form of the name Gawain, which in turn is believed to have originated from the Welsh name Gwalchgwn, meaning "White Hawk." Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is an epic poem connected withKing Arthur's Round Table. Gavin also shares an origin with the Italian name Gavino, which dates back to ancient Latin. Saint Gavinus (San Gavino, Porto Torres,Sardinia) was an early Christian martyr, an ex Roman centurion, decapitated in 300 AD and whose head was thrown in the Mediterranean sea before being reunited with his body."

I knew the white hawk thing (it is why he has white hair--you know, because I was a obvious namer in high school). However, the Saint Gavinus ... whoa ... don't lose your head, boy, that would be unfortunate.

Do you need an extra dose of whimsy?

I'm Kristy Cunningham. This spring I graduated from MSU's Serious Game Design M.A. Program and am a full time UX Designer working on inspiring educational solutions that engage learners. As an artist and designer, I believe play is important to people, and seek to create characters, worlds, stories, and gameplay mechanics that inspire wonder and spark the imagination.

Thank you for all the kind words (and watch and llama). It is always inspiring and motivating to get this kind of feedback (I'm a weekend workaholic it seems). I'll do my best to keep it up.

I don't know if you can see this link, but I demand that you get this for your ferret. [link] So you can take oodles of photos of it and I can live vicariously through you and your guardianship of ferretdom.

So I just found this in a store and checked it out and I cannot get it for my Paulster. :( The balls are too soft and he will easily bite into them (and hide each one by one). If he chewed them, I would be afraid he'd get a blockage. Such a bummer! I will just have to make my own that is safer for him.

Yeah, you can make your own! (Maybe out of cardboard? Then you can stuff them with treats!) It's too bad they're so soft. I run into that issue a lot with cat toys... why do companies insist on adding ribbons to everything? Cats eat ribbon! It causes crazy blockages! >A<!

OMG, our old housecat would eat tape and curling ribbon! I know what you mean.

I think I could fill a box with Easter eggs filled with treats (Ziwipeak probably) and he would have a ball.

I could also fill a box full of dirt and he would have a ball but my carpet would never forgive me ...

Oh my gosh, he must have it! He would have so much fun. He already plays in cardboard boxes with tissue paper and rattly balls, hahaha. That is too cute!
