Go see! Jane’s blog

[And if you are following the Wiishu slideshows, you will have to seek them out, top bar, in the Slideshows, as she gets back to her regular posts, and in this case, a special offer for our blogsite regulars and others on her birthday—like atevi, she believes in giving on her birthday.]

For those of you who haven’t been following the Wiishu posts, understand—Japanese ball-jointed dolls are a blatant excuse for costuming and clever photography, and they’re cuter’n spit. The little ones not only imitate human jointing so well they can balance on one foot, they are also downright spooky to hold in your hand, because they move on their own, under gravity, and they move like people, unlike dolls that just flop, and you keep thinking—if this thing turns its head and stares at me I’m handing it to someone else. 😆 This is the offshoot of a really ancient artform in Asia, and when Jane has spare time (ha!) she wants to do some complex traditional costume.]
