Remember when that lectern book tiktok was going around a few weeks ago? I was playing with the other children, but then my last two sets of books had hard deadlines, and I fell behind the pack. But I'm here now!! I have some Luxurious paper in my house, this is my all-time favorite webnovel, and my single-volume tgcf is lonely.....
No, but last time I bound this, I was but a baby bookbinder, and I wanted to give it the treatment my love for it deserves. I don't have art lined up to give this the full luxury edge painting treatment (yet), but this wasn't a bad start! Plus, ideal for a side-by-side comparison of the official novels, haha. And a solid proof of concept for my lectern book system in general! I got to the math the hard way, so I found drawn systems that get the same answer much more easily, and realized neither system really accounted for hinge gap. And I recessed my conjunction point a little, to make it easier to cover this sucker once the boards were assembled. Honestly, I'm in love, and now my single-volume tgcf and svsss are pining for a giant mdzs to keep them company 😂

When I was here in 2016, there was so much sea glass. In 2023, I did not find any glass and thats okay.

Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong
(Click here for behind the scenes footage of making this doll!)
My latest custom doll is complete! And this time, it is NOT my doll! :D
I was commissioned to make this doll by a great friend, the same friend who made the clay Kirara figures to go with my custom Inuyasha dolls (see them here). Her bestie is a huge fan of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and the two were talking about how there really isn’t a lot of merchandise focused on Olivier, sister of Alex Armstrong. So my friend asked if I’d be willing to attempt a commission of a doll of her similar to my Inuyasha dolls, while she would make Alex out of sculpting clay (totally necessary with his giant muscles lol). I said I’d give it a try!
This was completely new territory for me because A) this is a character/series I’m not familiar with, and B) this was my very first full reroot all by myself. I’m proud of myself for pulling it off!
After quite some time putting this all together, what with commissioning the outfits (both Olivier and Alex would need matching ones), doing the reroot myself (OMG yes, I did it!!!), painting the face (I was going to go over the original factory paint like I usually do, but I wound up completely redoing the eyes!!!), and making various little props like the medals, boots, and the tops of the boots, she is ready at last!
I present to you Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong! Fun fact: My friend actually made the sword, and she took pictures of it and sent them to me, and I Photoshopped them in LOL. We live in different states, so this was the best I could do! :D Bet you couldn’t tell, could ya? ;)
