Fantasy Canyon is a Bureau of Land Management-managed area located about 27 miles (43 km) south of Vernal, in Uintah County, Utah. Even though the area is only about 10 acres (40,000 m2) in size, it contains some of the most unusual geologic features in the world. The site was officially documented by early explorer and paleontologist Earl Douglass, who recorded the area by other names such as “The Devil’s Playground” and “Hades Pit.” He published photographs of this area in a 1909 publication called “The Columbian Magazine.”
The rocks of Fantasy Canyon, quartzose sandstones, were deposited during the Eocene Epoch. They date from around 38 to 50 million years ago. During the geologic period, the Uinta Basin was occupied by a large lake called Lake Uinta. The lake extended 120 miles (190 km) west to Heber City, 30 miles (48 km) east to Rangely, Colorado, south to the Book Cliff Divide, north to the Uinta Mountains, and was about a half mile deep.
Fantasy Canyon is along the east shore of what was once Lake Uinta, where the sediments eroded from the surrounding high lands. Sediments were deposited and the once loose sands, silts, and clays were forged into sandstone and shale. Because of different rates of weathering, the more durable sandstone remained while the more easily weathered siltstone and shale washed away, yielding this spectacular scenery. Today’s geologic formations of Fantasy Canyon will eventually give way to weather and then topple and erode into sand, but new formations will appear as the topsoil washes away. Because the delicate formations are so fragile the area is referred to as “Nature’s China Shop.”

Grey's Special Item for Silent Auction.
One of a kind item, never be sold. Maybe you can find it in my garden, maybe not :-)
Made for Picture Challange 11 at the Kaleidospheres & Kaleifractals-group.
although I can only enter one of these..which one?
Every January for the last eight years, when my father-in-law visits from Britain, we take the children out of school and spend the day at Fantasy Fair, Ontario's largest indoor amusement park, in the Woodbine Mall. Surrounding the rides are these false building fronts that house stores and restaurants.
Yes, that is an upside-down McDonald's arch. One of the few McDonald's I know of that has closed. Unfortunately, the mall where this amusement park is situated isn't very nice.

Continúo mi serie de fotografía de aBJDs con esta imagen. Gracias a mi amiga Raquel por darme permiso para subir esta foto por aquí =).
Lamento el "cutrefondo" de la pared con gotelé, no teníamos nada donde enganchar un fondo decente y hacía un calor para morirse en el exterior.
Si en la subida anterior hablé de moldes con Tristán e Isi, esta la voy a aprovechar para hablar sobre la personalización de las aBJD.
La personalización o customización es el elemento que hace que cada muñeco sea único. Ya no sólo por la peluca o los ojos que se le pongan para diferenciarlo de otros moldes iguales, sino por el "carácter" que cada dueño imprime en sus ellos, amén del valor personal que se le da al personaje que represente.
Sin duda os parecerá curioso que os diga que la mayoría de los dueños hacemos "fichas personales" de nuestros muñecos. En estas fichas incluimos no sólo los datos técnicos (molde, peluca, ojos, maquillaje, modificaciones, etc.), sino también datos como su personalidad, su historia, qué le gusta y qué le disgusta, entre otras posibilidades. Estos rasgos son los que hacen que cada muñeco sea "único en su especie", y que por muy repetido o frecuente que sea un molde, nunca haya dos iguales.
Dentro de la personalización juega un papel muy importante lo que podríamos llamar atemporalidad: estas muñecas dan mucho juego a la hora de asignarles un personaje porque no están sujetas a una época, lugar, o mundo (salvo que sea un molde de fantasía, como un elfo o cosas del estilo). Aunque parezca de perogrullo no lo es tanto, ya que lo que llega a nuestras manos es en realidad un cuerpo de resina que nos ofrece infinidad de posibilidades y al que podemos cambiar y transformar en lo que queramos cuantas veces queramos.
Para mostrar un poco lo que digo voy a presentaros a Lunaria y a Grimm:
Lunaria es mitad ángel y mitad elfa. Es de carácter muy dulce, cariñosa, amable y atenta con todos aquellos que le rodean. Se encarga de velar por el mundo de la magia del bosque donde vive. Le encanta bañarse en lagos con cascadas paradisíacas y tumbarse sobre la hierba a contarles cuentos a sus hijos, así como enseñarles magia y mimarlos.
Grimm es una duendecilla del bosque. De carácter tímido y dulce, se encarga de curar a los animales del bosque que caen enfermos. Conoció a la familia de Lunaria un día de tormenta al refugiarse en una cueva a la que acudieron muchos seres mitológicos buscando refugio del fuego provocado por los rayos. En esa cueva, ella junto con Lunaria y Único (el marido de Lunaria, que no aparece en la foto) se dedicaron a curar a todos los animales heridos, lo cual les hizo inseparables.
Pues presentadas quedan, y como veis es difícil que haya dos Lunarias y dos Grimm iguales.

I continue my series of aBJD photography with this image. I want to thank my friend Raquel for allowing me to upload this photo of her lovely dolls =).
I'm sorry about the awful stippled-finish paint wall, but we had no other scenery to take the photos at home and the temperature outside was really high.
I'm going to talk in this occassion about the aBJD customization, the feature that makes each doll to be unique. Differences between molds don't just lies in using different wigs or eyes, but in the temper that each owner gives them, as well as the personal value added to the character they represent.
It may be curious for those who doesn't even know this hobby that most of us owners write "personal cards" of our dolls. In them we include not only the technical aspects (mold, name, wig, eyes, faceup, modifications, etc.), but also details as character, history or what does he/she like or dislike among other possibilities. These features are, as I've said before, what makes each doll to be unique.
Maybe one of the most important things of customization is what we could call "timelessness": what we buy is a doll made of resin that is not linked to any place, time or world, but the one we want to assign them (as well as the character). And if we sometime get tired of that one, we can change it completely and turn him/her into a new character with new features.
And now as example I'm going to introduce you to Lunaria and Grimm:
Lunaria is half angel half elf. She's sweet-hearted, affectionate, and kind with all those who are around her. She takes care of the world of magic of the forest where she lives. She loves taking baths in heavenly waterfalls and sitting on the grass to tell stories to her children, as well as teaching them some magic and taking care of them.
Grimm is a forest little goblin. She's shy and sweet, and is in charge of healing the ill animals she finds in the forest. She met Lunaria's family one storming day when she took shelter in a cave where were lots of mythological beings who ran away from the fire caused by the lightnings. In that cave within Lunaria and Único (Lunaria's husband, which doesn't appear in the photo) they healed all the wounded animals, what made them inseparable.
Introduced they are, and as you can see, it is quite difficult to find two Lunarias and two Grimms with the same features.
