Tofu Dry-fry and Marinate Method

A tutorial for a bead spider similar to the one I made years ago. I like the choice of beads for the legs on this one.

Origami Bow Tutorial - Well, not exactly, there are some cuts involved. Also, this pin leads to a shortened URL that has been reported as a scam site. However the image in the pin is sufficient to make the bow without visiting the site.

Miniature Food Sculptures - it looks about right for 1:6 dolls.

Brown hair with blonde and red highlights. I miss dyeing my hair like this (though I had more red and less blonde).

Souldoll Zenith Shiva - Visit the page to see her in all of her 4 armed glory. At the moment you can't get her in grey (bad weather for casting that color) and you haven't been able to get her outfit for a while, but I still have her on the wish list.

Iplehouse EID Carina in light brown resin for Elyza

Iplehouse YID Emilia - My current best choice for Aeryn without resorting to the custom doll system. Makeup option C with peach gold resin.

Iplehouse SID Cherie - Aeryn, though with the redesign of the YID body I would prefer her on that rather than the SID. That would be a custom doll though and I'm hoping I will find a YID head that suits her as well as Cherie does.

Iplehouse EID Tedros - Aaron, in real skin, maybe with facial hair, probably on the model body

Cheryl - The most complex of the AIs that Elyza rescues. Unfortunately making the AI work in the toy cat body required her to do some modifications. As a result of this Cheryl's personality is a bit whimsical and conversations with her tend to go from point A to G by way of points E, C, and H.

Zayn - The most practical and no nonsense of the AIs.

Tetsuya - The most easy going of the AIs that Elyza rescued. He still manages to get on the wrong side of Miyuki's temper.

Miyuki - Perhaps the most skeptical of the AIs. If it didn't make more sense to stick with the others than to go off alone she might have made her own way out of the mess.

Katheryn - An older AI. Unlike Kayd and Lyla "she" isn't as quick to make friends with Elyza and Aeryn. She is, however, quick to agree that being a cat makes escaping the current situation much easier.

Kayd - An AI that Elyza rescued by putting "him" into a robotic toy kitten. Kayd is the first of the AIs that she rescued this way and the one closest to her.

Lyla - One of the AIs that Elyza rescued by fitting "her" into a robotic kitten toy.

River Styx, Oregon Caves National Monument - A character met a bad end in a place a bit like this....

Seattle Underground - This and the Shanghai tunnels of Portland were the inspiration of the setting for the first half of the story.

Staggered seating slabs for face to face chatting! (Besides the zipper design)

The canyon my main character lives in has a constant wind. The people there use a lot of windchimes, most made of bits of broken pottery, bamboo, pretty stones, and of course, shells.

Sea Organ - A pipe organ played by the waves. Perhaps Sierna finds something like this in her travels. She would like it.

When I write about Rizma's barge cabin, this is what I imagine.

Bandelier National Monument cliff dwelling - While I was picturing Sierna living in a natural cave system, realistically her people would have expanded by carving their own additions and building outside the cliffs as well.

Antelope Canyon, AZ - When Zephyr brings Meilun back to the Valley this is the sort of canyon system I envisioned them traveling through.

Zion Canyon - When I was writing I was picturing the Grand Canyon, since I've actually been there, but the home canyon system for my main characters probably looks more like this.

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake - I don't remember chocolate chips or expresso powder in the recipe I made as a child, but they certainly can only make it better.

Iplehouse YID Emilia - Makeup option C has freckles! She's a better choice for my character Aeryn than Erica, which I pinned before. I will probably change my opinion on which doll should be Aeryn again, but since the YID body was revised I know I want her as a YID in the peach gold resin with a freckled face-up.
