The Middle Room: February 2015
http://welcometothemiddleroom.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 8, 2015. Movie Review: Jupiter Ascending. This movie is awesome. It's a bizarre amalgamation of genre tropes, put to use in the service of a surprisingly effective (though not at all subtle) theme. The action sequences are fantastic, and the designs are breathtaking. What is Jupiter Ascending? The short answer is Occupy Babylon 5. The long answer is, well. Oh, the good guys also have Sean Bean, who's playing the exact same role he always gets handed. You wouldn't know that judging by the...

The Blue Fairy's Workshop: January 2011
http://bluefairysworkshop.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. Asked me to come up with a handmade present for a friend. I poked around in the bins, and started to get inspired. I therefore present a Mutant Toy: the Robot Rabbit Demon. Essentially he's a complicated kit-bash. I picked out a bunch of pieces that I thought worked together. Pile of possible pieces (not all used):. The tail is a modified tentacle from a Spiderman/Doctor Octopus playset, and the wings are from a female demon-type action figure. Links to this post. I don't work ...

The Blue Fairy's Workshop: September 2010
http://bluefairysworkshop.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 23, 2010. Pallas, the Mantis. Wow, it's been a while since I've finished a project. This lovely lady had been languishing half-finished for upwards of six months. Well, better late than never. Pallas is the head of security for the Faerie Court, and bodyguard to the Queen. Her insect is a Mantis, I combined a few different types for inspiration. Pallas started dollhood as a Twelve Dancing Princesses Barbie:. I'm not perfectly happy with every aspect of this project, but overall I thin...

The Blue Fairy's Workshop: Lady of the Black Lagoon
http://bluefairysworkshop.blogspot.com/2012/06/lady-of-black-lagoon.html
Sunday, June 24, 2012. Lady of the Black Lagoon. Based loosely on a dream I had once, this lady was partially a series of experiments, and partially made just because I wanted a scary-looking siren-esque swamp chick. She started life as a fairly generic Barbie friend that I bought at a yard sale. I liked her mane of long hair, and I matched her head with a body whose arms were fairly beat up, so I had no compunction about losing them. The dress is stitched together out of wide lace, cut into pieces. ...

The Blue Fairy's Workshop: October 2009
http://bluefairysworkshop.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Had languished on the workbench for years, started but unfinished. No longer! The same disclaimer from Rogue. Applies, though. The version of this character I picture by default is from the 90's animated show. We will not speak here of that hideous movie from last summer. Gambit began toy life, years ago, as a "Ken as Superman", from Superman Returns. Side Note: his Superman costume has padded muscles in it. This cracks me up. After sanding and paint:. Next I did the only per...

The Blue Fairy's Workshop: Chibi Zelda
http://bluefairysworkshop.blogspot.com/2012/01/chibi-zelda.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Zelda in adorable mini form! Inspired mostly by Child Zelda from Ocarina of Time. This Galactic Heroes Jedi was too perfect a base, once I saw it I had to do this project. I trimmed down her lightsaber and extended the handle into a bow with Kneadatite. I also used Kneadatite to give her pointed ears. I strung the bow with a strand from a large paintbrush. Everything else is just some sanding and a nice coat of paint and sealant. February 10, 2012 at 4:18 PM. One and Only Dolls.

The Blue Fairy's Workshop: November 2011
http://bluefairysworkshop.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 19, 2011. Not so much a character as an exercise, but an enjoyable exercise. This project started when I looked through my custom bait bins, and said: it's a shame, this figure has a decent head above all that hideousness:. And so I decided she should have a Victorian dress fit for a lady. I used a combination of vinyl and Magic Sculpt to create a dress over the existing framework. Spray Primer on everything but the head, and then lots of paint. Also See My 8" Phoenix.

The Blue Fairy's Workshop: March 2011
http://bluefairysworkshop.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 19, 2011. Crossposted at The Clearance Bin. This is Skeletor. Doesn't he look cold to you? Much better. I'll never understand the Eternian customs against the wearing of pants, though. Because Erin asked so nicely, I created a cape for Skeletor. It's made out of a piece of dark purple crepe-back satin, which was luckily almost the exact same shade as his armor. All the seams are hand-stitched. To get it on, you have to remove Skeletor's head and his armor piece. For more pictures soon!
