Okay, it's more of a craft station, but I still give it the lofty title of laboratory because I'm fanciful like that. ^__^. I wasn't using this computer desk for much but it has so many roomy areas that I decided to store doll parts, cardboard and the like within it and underneath it. When I have to drill, clamp or chop up anything I do it here. I let things dry here too because it's 3 rooms away from my regular desk so I don't have to smell it.
All my extra spare heads get separated by Liv, Cleo Bratz/Moxie, Jade Bratz, Barbie/Clone and Males. There's really no reason to keep them in jars as opposed to dumping them all in a box. I just like the way they look. 0_0. Don't judge me.
On either side of the desk I have these pull out drawers for bodies. Boys on the left, girls on the right. As you can see, the girls far outnumber the boys. I suppose I could keep the heads on their bodies, but I don't see them as a whole doll. They were intended for parts so I feel the need to separate them. *shruggies*
This little bin holds parts that are in the process of being experimented on. You've seen those heads in my previous post. I'm going to leave them out of the jars for another month to see if they shrink any more.
The power team guy is holding up his hand because it's been freshly painted and varnished and I'm waiting for it to dry. From a comment that Georgia Girl made, my next project is to "get rid of the black gloved hands." I have two more options I want to try, but what I've managed so far is not looking cute!
Happy New Year Muff! : )
ReplyDeleteYou are so organized! I love your laboratory. Lol! I wish that my space was this organized I would probably get a lot more done.
I am super excited that you are going to do a tutorial yay!! The black gloves are such a down fall for me. I have passed up some good heads because of the gloved hands. I am not brave enough to try the head shrinkage, but I will try the gloved hands. Thanks Muff! ; )
Georgia Girl, you know, I do the same thing. Power Team is putting out some great faces but I'll look down at their hands and go, "Ugh." LOL, but it's not like they are making them to be romantic interests for other dolls. They are going to do battle, not date, lol.
DeleteDo you accept interns to your lab?
ReplyDeleteIf it's you, Sergio, then most definitely!
DeleteHi Muff,
ReplyDeleteHaving a space for creativity is very important for the creative mind. Having one that is as organized as yours is even more important. Thanks for sharing yours with us. I'd love to have a space as organized and the ability to maintain it.

DGB, I have eked out space where ever I can find it. It means stuff is spread out in different spots but that's okay.
DeleteIt still looks like a laboratory to me Muff and I like it! You and Georgia Girl are brave I can't pass the Power team guys up if they have nice faces. I just bring my hottie home log into monkey depot and buy hands. I wish they would start stocking brown hands though I want Marcus to have some hands sooooooo Bad. Anyone continue on MAD SCIENTIST LoL I look forward to your next experiment.
ReplyDeleteMustiwait, I'm just being a stick in the mud about buying hands. I dont wanna! *cries* I know the Monkey hands are inexpensive and they'll certainly look better than anything I fashion, but sometimes I just gotta be crafty as opposed to spendy, lol.
DeleteCool post Muff! I always like to see how people store their dolls, or in your case, doll parts :3
ReplyDeleteI think you keep your doll parts very neatly and very creepy... just the way I like it!
Hiya, Tali! Hmmm, "creepy." You know, I bet that's why I keep them in the jars, because it look so creepy. I like creepy. ^_^
DeleteBy the way Muff, I just looked at my old blog about Stardoll and saw that you're a follower. I quit that blog a long time ago since I lost my interest in Stardoll, and it was a lot of work (Stardoll has something new everyday) so I just couldn't find the time to continue with it.
ReplyDeleteYou might as well stop following it :) One day, I'll start a blog about dolls. When I finally get a camera.
Okay, Tali. Let me know when you start a new blog so I can be all up in it!
DeleteHello from Spain: I love your laboratory. I like your organization. I love seeing all your bodies and heads. You have a great collection. Your house has looked very pretty. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Marta! ^_^. I get all itchy if my stuff isn't organized.
DeleteHi Muff,
ReplyDeleteI think that your laboratory isn't little. It's quite large. You have great and big collection. I like your laboratory :)))
Greetings from Poland ;)
Hello, Marille! *waves to you* That desk is pretty roomy. You can put so much stuff on it.
DeleteMuff, the lab is great. I'm always a fan of how people sort and store their extras. I love the use of the desk. I have way too much stuff for your space but I'm working on it :O)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dollz4Moi! The trick is to spread the stuff out E V E R Y W H E R E, you can, lol.
DeleteGreat laboratory and very practical too. Your power guy's hand looks good in the photo but it will be interesting to see your final experiments and results.
ReplyDeleteHey there, Carrickters! Yes, that hand looks good - from very far away, lol. I'm still working on them though.
DeleteWhat a great idea!! I have my stuff in card boxes, but the jars are simply great, and I love the way you've organised everything! Congrats on your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rossetti! The jars were really inexpensive for a set of 12 so I put them to good use.
DeleteWow Muff,I love your lab,u are soooooooooo organized,congratzzz! I am not brave enough to do any kind of experiments on my dolls,but I love to see what others are doing with their dolls,it shows how creative you guys are...
ReplyDeleteHope to see a lot more interesting dolly experiments from you,this year!!!!!!
Thanks, Pam! Even though it has just started, this year is feeling very projecty. I like it.
DeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a torture room for dolls! :D
LOL, Magdalena! It does look that way. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love your lab. Seeing the heads in jars was a little creepy. My mind instantly went to a horror movie. I can see that whole desk in a horror movie. My one goal this year is organization. You seem to have mastered that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vanessa. I embrace creepy ^__^ I do really enjoy being organzied. It has a calming effect on me.
