Rediscovered

Old projects (some unfinished), stored in a favorite vintage suitcase.

Introducing Dr. Gizmo's Book of Wonders!
Welcome to the World of Wonders,
where all magic was born.
Now prepare for all the magic and
Beasts you are about to encounter...
(it was empty!)

They don't make these anymore...
In 2009 I was looking for an alternative to Barbie, 
hoping to redirect what I thought would be an inevitable phase.
I found Jun, a 'Juku Couture' doll, at Target.  
She's only 9" tall, incredibly posable (ball jointed),
realistically-proportioned (ahem), and came with twelve pieces 
of mix-and-match harujuku-inspired clothing.
Aliza had ab-so-lute-ly no interest in her.
Until today.
