Works in the public domain
I’ve been spoiled by the easy access to great paintings, which formed the backdrop of Rosie’s adventures. Almost any great artist you can think of has the bulk of their work in the public domain.

ABP – Always Be Photoshopping
You know your miniature world building has gone wrong when most of it is done in front of a computer.
Betwixt, the backstory
I have to confess, I don’t actually know what’s going on with Betwixt. I had some idea of a parent/child or master/apprentice type thing with the two main characters, with some magic and moving between worlds thrown in. And then, suddenly, my little Maskcat doll, who was meant to be a side character, suddenly made off with the whole thing.
Adding a ball-joint doll to a fashion doll world
I’ve spent more time than I like to admit searching for a new “young Daisy” doll for the second draft of that story.

From an adventure tale to a story of kinship
My Overhead/Up-Above/who-knows-what-else-I’ve-called-it has gone through its (hopefully) final change. Because I recognize that the treehouse/adventure angle just isn’t where the heat is, I’m going to redo it from the beginning (which I had to do anyway, due to all of the wig changes) to focus on what matters. That is, to focus on the sweet relationship between the sisters.

Behind the scenes: In the pictures, start of summer
These last two weeks I’ve been working on finishing up the first episode of In the Pictures – where the two sisters discover that one does not simply put a movie away, because it has a way of coming back.
Do overs
As I move all of my episodes onto the web, I’m finding that shots that seemed perfectly acceptable in a blog post just don’t look right when I format them into an episode.
