Wish: n. 1. A desire, longing, or strong inclination for a specific thing. 2. An expression of a desire, longing, or strong inclination; a petition. 3. Something desired or longed for.
When I named him Wish, I was longing for something I could not have. It's been 5 years. It may only be my overactive imagination at work here but, I think the look on Wish's face that I was and still am very attracted to, the look which I have mistaken for wishfulness, is really an expression of contentment. To be wishful and to be content... are they not two sides of the same coin?
(I make no sense. This is what happens when you try to write something meaningful on a Bad Brain Day. 8D )
What an amazing and beautiful face! Putting up 3 pictures certainly makes it look like he has different expressions. I don't really wish for anything these days but I do think how you feel at any particular time reflects how you perceive something else. I have a wooden praying buddha, although sometimes he is crying, sometimes hiding and other times thinking. Very interesting pictures.
I think that Wish has changing expressions here . . and the lighting is so gorgeous. It catches each mood. Today, I am having one of those bad brain days. So I wish for a "brain!" :)
Livia, I can't get over how life like these dolls of yours are! I love their features and you definitely know how to shoot them to their best! Love your POVs and the way you've dressed this guy. Makes perfect sense to me! I believe I understand... now does that make me bad brained, too? LOL!
Livia, Wish is just adorable. And the collage is stunning. I think of everyone on the 365ers I would love to visit you the most. You seem to be such an interesting person and I love the way you are so open about how you feel about things. I think I will wish that I can visit you one day :)
Fantastic collage and capture of expressions in each one; the display of emotion on each is quite captivating. What would I wish for? I'd say satisfaction :)
I see different emotions in his beautiful face! I love your writing...deep - thought provoking - and emotional. Hope you have a great day! This collage is beautiful!
Lovely collage, beautiful subject excellently posed and captured. Your musings are very thought provoking. I certainly get a hint of what you're getting at. My wish is contentment.
I like how his expression shifts from shot to shot. You've really captured one of the things I love about ABJD, the incredible versatility of their faces.
@cheyrebecca He's definitely a doll. 8D Wish is a BJD. BJDs are ball-jointed dolls made of polyurethane resin, handcast and handstrung. They are anatomically correct, highly posable and customizable. Their eyes, faceups, hair, clothes, etc can be changed. My boys are 60cm tall. (About 2 feet.) You can google for "BJD" and find lots of sites that have more information and photographs of these dolls.
I'm really not sure if it's wishfulness or contentment but I just get lost in those big dark eyes. They are to die for. He does look contented I think.
How beautiful he is, Livia. I have never seen such beautiful eyes in my lifetime. Wishing is something we would want - sometimes with all our heart and body - but we should always thank God for what we have.
I never cease to be amazed at the detail in these dolls. Their expressive eyes are especially intriguing. Great collage. I think he looks like he may be wishing.
@myautofocuslife Wow!!!! That's amazing!!! I'm glad you told me it was a boy, I thought it was a girl with those long beautiful eye lashes!!! Going to go research them :)) Thanks!!!!
Thank you! I want to thank everyone for taking the time to stop by and write a comment. I feel grateful and humbled. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement very much, much more than you can imagine. It puts a big silly smile on my face to know you've all enjoyed seeing Wish.
Again, thank you so much!
