Things Ghoulia Now Has

A dresser with a bookshelf, three drawers with chalkboard notes and doodles, five books, five issues of Dead Fast (bagged, boarded, and buttoned like a true nerd), and a Dead Fast action figure/bobble head.

As previously mentioned, all the girls are getting a piece of furniture each (Frankie will have the little dress form that's floating around. Kitty has the floor lamp, and Maddie's getting a glass bottle with a Drink Me tag). Ghoulia's is the first to be done. I might put a little fabric runner on the top to make it look a bit more complete, but so far I'm happy with what she's got.

Here we've got a couple of the doodles, Dead Fast (who is a repainted Deadpool), and her books. You can't see the titles, but I'm pretty proud of them. They are:
~Her Home Eek textbook
~Add Another Nought: Quantum Physics
~SUDO-ku: Making Your First Linux OS--The cover of this one was the sudoku puzzle from the newspaper. I'm so proud of this title
~Perl and Lisp: A Love Story--This is the cocker spaniel book. I was winging it.
~STAY--There was a very interesting advertisement, and I cut out part of it and stuck it on a little book for the hell of it

And on the other side, Dead Fast.
They're all just newspaper clippings, folded in half and doodled on. The boards are a piece of watercolor paper that got destroyed. The buttons are post-it notes and the bags are taped together ziplock bags.
Personal pet peeve is when you can't find actual comic bag buttons or yard sale stickers, so you have to use tape, and then when you reread them you rip the bag trying to get the damn tape off. To save Ghoulia that pretend struggle, she has pretend buttons on her pretend comic bags.
My friend is sending me clippings from an actual comic preview catalog, so Ghoulia's definitely going to have more comics in her future.

Converting the drawer shelf to a bookshelf was actually pretty easy. I spraypainted a piece of watercolor paper (I recently had a whole pad of it ruined) with the same paint the housing got, and then Super Surface sealed it until it got stiffer. Then it was just some glue, and bam, bookshelf.

Speaking of bookshelves, it seems there's some drama on the top of The Bookshelf where The Collection lives:

A lot of the time, I just shove them into place, and then adjust the heads and hands to look more natural. Today, this was the scene that was formed.

It's like two friends can't even hold hands without getting some judgmental stares from the nearby girls. I mean, I know one of them's tiny, but maybe they're just sharing a special friend bond.

We shall see how this develops.


Things Ghoulia does not have: pants.
