Interests: I really love books. I am a book whore and will proudly admit to that any time. Therefore I do love reading and writing - you can expect to see a self-published book of my own due out in early 2008. Obviously I love cartoon dolling - it is very therepeutic. I enjoy RPing, all things Harry Potter, watching musicals and black and white movies, and taking part in every and any aspect of theatre. Some of my hobbies are amateur webdesign, chatting with friends, listening to BNL, making jewelry, and PC gaming. I am very attatched to my family and friends, I am a die-hard Hufflepuff at heart and I love windy days, autumn, cheesepuffs, and rainy days.
Random Fact: The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka, and Alice in Wonderland creep me out.

Dolling Experience: Honestly? I can't remember. I am going to assume it has been around 4 years, though.
Favorite Doll Style: I don't have a particular genre I like more than others, though I have been producing a lot of historical ones lately and those are a tone of fun. I guess that means I prefer original dolls? My dolling method is that I prefer to smudge and tool shade. I used to do strictly tool shading, then I discovered the love that is palettes and now do mostly smudge.

Interests: I like to doll, obviously I also like to spit out the occaisonal doodle. I am an avid reader with my favorite authors being Jane Austen, JK Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Robin McKinley, and Meg Cabot. I also enjoy writing, especially at Harry Potter RPG's. When my Photoshop is not busy helping me doll, it is helping me to create pretty graphics and photomanipulations! Sometimes I play photographer, but...I'm not very good at it I love showtunes, especially from the musical 1776, and right now my favorite song is Bubbly by Colbie Caillat, but it changes often. I pretend to play the piano, and I love to sing....loud and obnoxiously I might add. I like being silly more than any sane person should - which is good, since I doubt I can be considered sane. My favorite color is green, but I have red hair.
Random Fact: I have a small green plastic dinosaur named Richard Henry Leeosaurus.

Dolling Experience: somewhere between 4 and 5 years
Favorite Doll Style: Mostly I doll my RP characters, and when I'm not dolling them I like fantasy and historical dolls. I like to try all kinds of different shading techniques, but feel most comfortable using dodge and burn.

Random Fact: I LOVE Koalas. Like...LOVE them.

Dolling Experience: *counts on fingers* Around 3 or 4 years?
Favorite Doll Style: I usually doll character dolls, like RPG characters. But lately I'm getting into more historical dolls, which is fun for me on a costumer's stand point. As for my personal style of how I go about dolling, I do a lot of soft shading with a palette and smudge tool, breaking out the dodge and burn for added highlights and shadows for hair. Very rarely do I pixel shade, but I do do it.
