Tea Posey Theater Debut

Harmony and Doyle wanted to show off their new home/stage/theater.  So here they both are in all of their glory.

Both: Hello and welcome to the Tea-Poesy Theater.

Harmony: Okay, lets start by moving the chairs in place first...

Harmony: Okay, I'm NOT going to be moving all of this by myself.  Where is that blockhead at anyway...

Doyle: Humming to himself (la-la-la-la-la)

Harmony: WHAT ARE YOU DOING??????
Doyle: Uh-oh, this isn't going to be pretty.

Doyle: I was just perfecting my balancing act.  You know for the show.
Harmony: Okay, there isn't going to be a show if you don't help to start moving this furniture.  I'M NOT DOING IT ALL BY MYSELF. GET UP NOW!!!!!!!

Harmony: How did I get teamed up with this goof????

Doyle: How's here then?
Harmony: You know what?  I think I'm just going to sit and tell you where everything will go.

Doyle: This is going to be a long night. **sigh**

Doyle: Okay, the flowers here, this here.  I wonder where she wants the wagon to go.  Harmony??

Doyle: Harmony???Oh where can she be now??? She makes me nervous when I don't see her.

Harmony: Oh, I'm watching you.
Doyle: What are you doing up there?  And HOW did you get up there?  We have a swing???

Harmony: Duh, we are sprites.  We can fly.  And it's MY swing.  I need to be on top of things.
Doyle: We can fly?

Doyle: I didn't know we could fly.  Harmony, did you know that we have pointy ears also???? Cool.

Harmony: I really need to work alone.  I need to talk to my agent.

So as the Bickersons work it out, we get to see what else is in the stage.

A Tiny Theatrical Troupe Invasion

So, on Saturday, two tiny little creatures invaded the house, and boy are they a trip.  It didn't even snow and we got two guest.  My Puki Piki Boy (Doyle) and Puki Sugar (Harmony) came in.  I had been tracking them all of last Thursday and Friday, even stalking the plane to see where they were and lo and behold they cleared customs on Friday and got to me on Saturday.  I can't go on more about the great poses that they can do.  They are so tiny, a mere 5 inches tall, but packed with tons of personality. 

After all of the years I've been collecting these dolls, I still get a thrill out of an EMS box, and the de-boxing ceremony.

Quick back story: Harmony is a wise ass cracking little imp, who thinks that she should be the center of attention at all times, while poor little Doyle just has to put up with eons of abuse from her.  He's kinda like Eyeore from Winnie the Pooh.  They are a traveling troupe, who now reside in the Tea Posey Theater.

Below is their arrival.  Enjoy.

Fantastic packaging from FairyLand.  Almost too pretty to open.

All of the cute little cards.

Care instruction even.

Hello, my name is Harmony...

And my name is Doyle.

Doyle: Why don't I have any hair?
Harmony: Because you are bald, deal with it.
Doyle: **sigh**

So many cute little things for Harmony.  Starting to like the extra ears/hands/feet.

Harmony: That's right, I have clothes, wigs, and ears.

Doyle: Okay, this isn't funny. **sigh**

Harmony: Don't I look cute...

Harmony: ha ha ha, naked butt.
Doyle: Excuse me????

Doyle: How humiliating.  Thank you.

Harmony: Wait a darn minute.  Where is my little green outfit, MISSY????

Me: Right here, keep your undies on.

Doyle: **sigh** and I thought I was special.

Harmony: Yeah, your special alright *snicker, snicker*

And what do two little actors do when they have had a busy week of traveling and homecoming?  Well, they sleep.

Extra bonus pictures.

New Theater/Sprites?

I've gotten a deep love for the little dolls lately.  Most of the ones that have come into Reddiker Woodes have been under 8 inches tall.  The two newest ones are without exception.

Fairlyand's Puki Puki dolls are just adorable.  I had been seeing them, and seeing them for weeks and couldn't resist them anymore. The one that I kept seeing over and over on the boards was the Puki Piki boy.  Or at least I think he's a boy.  No wig, and just cute clothes from one of the regular members.  Well, I kept looking at him, and in my mind he needed a friend, well, Puki Sugar was the best option. She has that smirk and she looks like a girl more than the rest of them.

Without fail, all of their stuff is coming in long before they get here.  I had the idea of making them little vaudeville like characters.  I can still keep that Victorian,18th century feeling and since they have the smallest little "elf ears", they can be sprites/fairies also. I saw them as the two hecklers in The Muppets Show, and the idea took off from there.  We went down to Norms, and I had every intention of just going and "looking" for what I had seen on line, well, having Little Man and FireHoth in the store with me, and almost two hours later, the box below became a reality and came home the following Tuesday.

It's so cute, and at 15x10x10 it fits perfectly on my new desk, so I can pose and play with them while I'm sitting there.  The "Stage", (still looking for the right name) already has two little sea shell lights at the front, (three more on order) and a plexi glass on top to let light in and there is one for the front also.  For now it's plainly decorated with just the flooring paper (that will probably stay) and black diamond print and red paper.  I've still to make templates to change out with certain scenes.  They will have tons of props, but most of them will stay in boxes till needed.  FireHoth got me the little skull and vase in the back to have as ambience.  There will probably be just two little velvet red chairs and a table on the stage for them to sit and red/burgundy curtain will be made to really give it that "theater look" 

I say "pose", because from what I've seen and heard, these are the best little (four inches tall) BJD's that pose.  They have magnets in them and they can do acrobatic acts like these below.

Their names are Harmony (girl) and Doyle (boy)  Harmony  is actually a full set and comes with a ton of extras and I've already ordered  lighter eyes for them.  They wont get here till  probably the end of March, but I'm having a blast  getting stuff and coming up with "skits" for them.
