  1. Here is a redone 1970's Crissy doll before/after. I ripped out the old red hair. I did a total reroot including the ponytail that "grows" and removed facial paint . Plus, I slit her original goofy grin and cut out her toothy look melting the mouth back together in more of a wicked look. Repainted her features and fixed her turn knob mechanism. Made her morticia-ish dress and everything..

  2. Nobody laugh..please..The thread said art..so my art is not a traditional type of art like painting or drawing.

    This was an OOAK job. I gave her hair a moldy greenish freshly crawled out of the grave highlights. The facial paint was removed and replaced by her more grim persona. I cut out the original mouth and gave her a new set of teeth. Then gave her a complete distressing for a corpsey look. I tea dyed and distressed her clothing. She has blood on her mouth/fangs/hands. It also looks like she wiped her bloody little hands on her dress in some spots. She has a scaled to size butcher knife around here somewhere. Complete with blood evidence.

    The blood and paint job looks sort of matte in the photos. I think I took these before applying the sealer the blood looks more congealed now. She is fairly cobwebby as well.

     

    She is cursed of course. I have sold her twice and the buyers never paid.

  3. I wanted to mention I know several people who have been "caught" using Priorty mail cardboard (even recycled ones not just cutting up new) USPS catches an inside out box or a cardboard box custom made from USPS box they will tack a priorty mail sticker on it and pass the cost on to the customer as postage due. (I've only heard of it a few times and once it was a box recycled) but it does happen.

  4. It would be more of a kids kind of thing then for adults. It seems there is never anything inexpensive parents can buy for kids at the cons. Such a glut of worthless comics really I know. That is how I didn't mind so much going from oodles and oodles and oodles infinity to just a few oodles of them. Plus not every girl has a closet full of keen costumes either..but this thread is for comic rooms not wardrobe closets..

  5. Yeah I know that is why I haven't closed the account. I also had an injury and am immobilized and rather medicated. It gives me an excuse not to sell until I am off the painkillers! I used to be able to lift long boxes all day long and right now I struggle with a half gallon of milk..sucks sucks sucks! I just love that picture of you in with all those books..is that one of those storage pods or something? Even if they weren't all golden and silver age it would still be fun to look at them.

    My old store used to have a room where it was "comics by the pound" It was mostly drek but I would regularly plant a few gems in it for lucky people to dig up. It was a little partioned off area of the store with boxes and stacks and stacks. People could dig through and get as much as they wanted for set price per pound. It was fun. I would love to get a bunch of comics and do that at a con sometime. I wonder if I'd get much business? Good luck with your store plans!

  6. I was going to open a yahoo store got a name and store front..I have been paying for it for 6 months and have yet to get anything up..(it so happens my computer all of the sudden hates scanners and will not recognize any *sighs* so that did put a damper on things)That is a mighty big bunch of comics there you comicnut you..
