Hello Dollers!
Just a short Newsletter this month because I have only been back in the saddle for a couple of weeks and haven't had a chance to get back into much.
The Epic ___ Doll Features
Every so often I aim to be putting out a feature journal with dolls of all sizes, talents, and styles focusing in on one particular element.
The first article was all about Hair
The second article will be all about Shoes! And so if you have made or seen any dolls with cool shoes/boots or other footwear, of any talent but with something special or "epic" to show you can note me with the title "Epic Doll Feature" or simply leave a comment here with your suggestion.
Contests
I will be maintaining a contest list but without your help I can't always keep a track of exactly what contests are going on in the community. (Both on and off dA) so if you have a contest you think I should know about, please do comment on the contest list with a link to the contest and the deadline.
DDs from April

If you have a doll that you have made, or seen, that you think deserves a DD feel free to suggest it to me
Gallery Changes
As with all galleries on dA there will be some category changes to digitaldolls to help streamline dA. The proposals are now in the hands of the staff members to decide and implement at a later date. At this point in time I do not know what will happen or when, only that there will be changes at some point in the future so this is just an advanced notice if you missed Lyricanna's journal on the subject.
Thanks for reading, and keep dolling!

Things you wish...
...that your younger art self knew. Is there anything you've learned as you grew older, that seems really obvious now, that you wish that you had learned way earlier? Or are there any things your younger art self stubbornly thought was correct and you've later learned was different? For me it's having learned to "really look" at things. I use other people's art all the time to solve issues I'm having. Not by copying them of course! But by looking at the work of people better than me and reaaaallly learning from it beyond style and anatomy. Also references. Drawing from memory does not win you art points.
Still Here!
Hey! It's been a while! I had a bit of a shitty mental health year last year (I'm ok) and one of my self care items was to abruptly stop using some of my social media due to just having too many things to look after. However I've sorted myself out, hopefully got my brain back on as straight as it ever was, and I decided to log back in for the first time in... goodness knows how long! Everything looks different, I'm so lost, it was still desaturated green last time I was here! I hope to upload some of my latest work soon, if you haven't been following me on other socials that might mean lots of new work for you to check out. If you're still around, thanks for sticking with me!
Do you like moths? And Pins? of course you do.
One day left for guarenteed preorder of my moth pin, once I place the order I will have a finite number of pins in my stocks.
It's likely to be a limited run and not restocked so do place an order if you want one!

Hello Again
Hey guys!! Long time no see!!
I'm not as active on deviantART as I used to be, though I'm trying to remember to log in and post some stuff.
I had a couple of bad experiences posting some work and people choosing to attack me over it's content, and while that's not the majority of people who talk to me it did cause me to take a step or two back from here to regroup myself.
If you want to keep up with my work you can also find me at the following places, where i often post a lot of sketches and other fun stuff too.

Make a Doll a Day in May.
Originally it was a project on The Gathering (dolling forum hosted by Xandora), created by Meguey (now no longer dolling), then transferred to Autumnvale, where it also died. DorynaSira is now attempting it, almost by herself, because I am not doing it this year for the first time in 3 years. ( [link] )
Should have let you know sooner. Making a doll a day is awesome, it's hard and it is challenging. But by making so many any focussing on getting them all done, you learn so much.
