New (hopefully better) pics of Cherry's apartment!

The lighting is slightly less meh, I hope...and now everyone can see the goodness that is Cherry's travel apartment. (I love to show off.)

Image

This is a general overview of the apartment as a whole. Ri-ri is playing a guitar I made for her using a modified version of MyFroggyStuff's guitar tutorial. I want to make a blue one for Johnny, too.

Image
A close-up of the computer desk, with a bonus view of Hello Kitty's butt. (I didn't notice her on the floor until late in the photoshoot and didn't want to take all the pictures again. Lazy.)

Image
This is the picture window with a view of dimensional cherry blossoms. The window view can be changed, but right now I like the flowers best. Cherry does, too. XD

Image
Cherry loves her convertible futon. It's made of craft sticks, with a folding cushion made with styrofoam (polystyrene, technically) covered by fabric. With slightly thicker padding, the futon cushion can be used by itself, too, without the frame.

Image
Besides HK, Ri-ri also has her Lambikin and her Grunicorn. She loves stuffed animals. You might also see her Lalaloopsys sitting behind her, if you look closely. Her walls are decorated with glitter dimensional stickers.

Image
Her television, cut from some vac-formed plastic, is too dark to photograph well, but it's surprisingly effective for a hacked-up bit of scrap plastic.

Image
Finally rescued HK, and she's now sitting sedately in Cherry's computer chair. That's the laptop she mentioned during the original photoshoot. I mean to get or make her a desktop soon.

Image
I'm rather proud of this keyboard, constructed entirely of craft foam, and decorated with stickers to simulate control buttons. Cutting and placing the keys was every bit as tedious as you think it was, but I think the effect was worth it. Like the rest of her furniture, the coffee table is made of craft sticks, with the ends trimmed, and whitewashed to match the decor.

Image
All in all, I think Ri-ri is very contented with her new digs. Of course, now she wants a double bed so Johnny can travel with her, too. XD

I feel a little stupid not thinking of using craft sticks for doll furniture myself before. Thanks for the ideas!
I'm mostly on Tumblr now.
