Perseus: Caught in the Light

 

 

After a hiatus from the hobby for about a year, it seems Perseus is the doll to draw me back in again.  His new face-up has inspired me to take photos of him; it feels like I've fallen in love with him all over again. Like the rest of my little resin tribe, he is now an example of the best of my work after 7 years of pracice, rather than being one of my first.

Photostory: "You cannot sleep!" (Perseus [CP Vampire Breakaway 05], Satin [CP Elf Chiwoo])

A few hours later:




I must have fallen asleep. Not clever, Kynaston Dane; not clever at
all - we could both have frozen to death out here. Hmm. Snow seems
deeper now, too.... Oh dear Gods, Perseus! Is he...?



Hmm. Hard to tell. Do vampires have pulses? ... wait, I feel something.
I think he's alive. He seems to be breathing, thanks be! But he can't stay sleeping here....


Satin: "Perseus... Perseus! You have to wake up! It's not safe for you to sleep
here like this; you're going to freeze to death!"
Perseus: *drowsily* "But I'm already dead...."


Satin: "No, you're not - but you will be if you stay out here much longer!
Come on, you can't sleep now - you have to get up!"


Perseus: "...Satin? Where... where are we? I was dreaming...."
Satin: "I don't know; we're lost somewhere. how are you feeling?
Perseus: "Frozen."


Satin: "Unsurprising; you were unconscious in the snow for hours.
We both were. Can you sit up?"
Perseus: "I think so... oh... I feel so weak and cold...."


Perseus: *moans* "Ohhh... so cold it hurts.... Satin, vampires
can't tolerate the cold for long. We go into hibernation... we
can die. It is only the blood of living things which keeps us
warm and sustains us."
Satin: "Here, take my coat, you need it more than I right now.
Blood, you say?"


Satin: "Your skin is like ice, and I can feel your heart slowing
down. You need blood.... Perseus, take mine. I have enough to
share, and I heal fast."
Perseus: "No... no, I can't... if I drink from you, you will not be
able to fight off the cold. You would risk hypothermia and worse. I
cannot allow that - not even to save my own life...."
Satin: "But without it you will die!"
Perseus: "Better that one should die and the other live, than for
both to perish - and you could not spare enough, my friend, believe
me. I refuse to be your death."


Satin: "But...."
Perseus: "Enough, Satin. I haven't the strength to argue this
further. We must pray that aid comes soon."

Satin: Yes, we must pray.... Hold on, Perseus! Let help come soon! Surely someone must come...?


To be continued....

Lost In The Snow

Satin: "I don't think I recognise this place... Perseus, are you sure we came this way?"
Perseus: "I'm not sure... I...."


Satin: "Perseus? Are you alright?"
Perseus: "I feel so cold... weak...."
Satin: "Perseus!"


Perseus: *faintly* "...so... tired...."
Satin: "Perseus! Can you hear me? Answer me!"
Perseus: "...."


Satin: He's unconscious, or near to. It's getting dark... "Hello? Anyone there? We need help!"
Perseus: *murmuring* "Si froid... je suis si froid...aidez-moi...."


It's getting colder. He'll die if we stay out here. We both will.


Satin: "Anyone out there? Help us! Someone... anyone!!"


So cold and dark....

TBC, perhaps?

Two latest sewing projects completed

17th century style gentleman's suit for 60cm BJD. Lace-trimmed white chiffon shirt, metallic cobalt blue crepe breeches, white cotton jersey stockings, blue silk brocade waistcoat lined in periwinkle blue crepe-backed satin and blue silk brocade frock coat lined in cream silk with black velvet trim.

Entirely handsewn in about 40 hours. Modelled here on Satin, my Elf Chiwoo.



Inspired by the gowns of Marie Antoinette, this gown is made of blue silk brocade. The bodice is lined in pale blue cotton and adorned with three crystal organza bows. The sleeves are white cotton lace. The underskirt is beaded bridal lace.

The gown was handsewn from my own pattern and took about 20 hours to complete.

Modelled here on Gabrielle, my 45cm tall Fairyland Minifee Shiwoo girl.

Why So Sad? [Satin // CP Elf Shiwoo]]

Why so sad, my pale one?


Is that...


... a tear?
