Alice, Guardian of Courage (Everwing)



Have you joined the latest game craze on Facebook Messenger recently? Have you ever received notifications of challenges from your friends about this surprisingly addictive game? Have you ever wondered what's the latest fuss among Facebook Messenger users?



It's none other than the Everwing game. It's similar with the classic mobile game called Space Impact we used to play even before the existence of smartphones and Wifi. Everwing can be played on android and IOS devices online. It's actually an entertaining game, if I do say so myself. It's great for passing time or when you're on the bus ride going home. But never play it when you're walking because you might bump into something on your way like what happened to me. I was playing Everwing and was walking out of my room. I relied completely on my peripheral view but poof! I ended up bumping my forehead on the door, giving my sister a good laugh.



It's a game where you just simply swipe your finger from left-right and vice versa, while the Guardian of your choice shoots bullets on waves and waves of Monsters coming your way. Just make sure to move out of the way when birds turn up as they are indestructible. You also have to defeat bosses which are the big monsters at the end of every stage. But you don't have to worry since you'll be given two companion dragons you can hatch and evolve. You can even purchase dragon eggs depending on their type: common, bronze, silver, gold, rare, magical, or legendary.




After unlocking several guardians, they won't remain on idle mode since you can send them on quests to help you level-up your dragons as well as help you earn gold coins.



But let's put the entertainment aspect of the game aside for a while and let's take a moment to appreciate the art invested on the game. Don't you just adore the characters' or guardians' artistic designs? How each of them present their personalities by their costumes and wands? While browsing the list of characters to choose from, it actually challenged me to make a toothpick doll version of these guardians. Well it is indeed a little similar with my Elf Mage doll series so I gave it a go.









And here she is. Alice, the Guardian of Courage. She's the first character you get on your first play. I made this toothpick doll version for a day and a half.


Let's take a look at her clothes, she's wearing a simple design but it still shouts out her boldness. She's wearing a skirt and a top that enables mobility. She's also wearing shoulder pads as a part of her armor of long silver gloves and knee-high boots. Her sword symbolizes her courage.




And don't you just adore those cute elf ears? I know I've mentioned this in my elf mage doll series but I just love looking at those elf ears (even though they're tough to make because they're just so tiny and I had to make a pair). Let's take a closer look at her side profiles up close.








I also gave her a silver headband. It's one of the easiest ones to make, a whole lot easier than putting limbs and arms together.






And since she had wings, I created a pair of wings out of a plastic cover I got from a salad container from the supermarket. I drew the design first and then painted each pair with glittery nail polish to create that iridescent fairy wings.






Her actual size is no longer than my forefinger. She's 9cm tall and 16.5 cm wide (wings included).







Wondering if I should create a toothpick doll version of each of the next Everwing guardians. What do you think? Did I give justice to Alice's image?

America Singer (Part 2), The Selection in Toothpick Dolls Series

Who wouldn't want to see America Singer in toothpick doll version wearing her signature blue gown she wore on her debut on the Illea Capital Report? After I created a toothpick doll version of her first ever day dress when she arrived at the palace, it inspired me to make another America Singer toothpick doll looking regal and princess-like. I might actually make more Americas in the future since she wore a bunch of outfits in the whole series and add to that her signature outfits on the book covers of The Selection, The Elite, and The One.  But apart from being the main character of the series, she's my favorite since she's got the personality I can probably relate to in some cases. She's a little introverted (I think), doesn't have a lot of friends, likes to do things on her own, may be a little stubborn, and likes to remain grounded despite all the fancy opportunities offered by living in the palace. But she also has some characteristics I look...

Lunar New Year Toothpick Dolls

It's that time of the year when people celebrate the coming of the new year under the Lunar calendar. Chinese people celebrate this event in a very colorful way. The culture and tradition is evident on the clothes they wear, the food, the dance, and the whole celebration itself. Compared to the way my family celebrates the solar new year, it's fun in its own way. Not only do the Chinese people celebrate at this time of the year. Countries such as Brunei, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, North Korea and South Korea celebrate this holiday as well, however, it is also widely celebrated here in the Philippines as there are Chinese communities living in the country although it is not exactly a declared holiday. The Lunar New Year doesn't have a fixed date unlike the other celebrated holidays in the Gregorian calendar. In South Korea, the locals celebrate the new year in a duration of three days. But this year, it falls on a weekend, making it a long ...

Princess Laura of Albania (Florante at Laura)

Every toothpick doll I make always have a story. And those stories are all rooted from my life experiences, both good and bad.  In my previous post, I talked about my dark past. About how I got bullied from an accident that nobody wanted. To lift up the heavy mood here in my blog, I decided I should at least write about a positive accident as well. And it all happened when I was in my Sophomore year in high school. I've been the typical student in school, not really standing out, but not also being left out. I would say I was the average high school girl that nobody notices, or wasn't the type who leaves a strong impression. I only talk to my friends and teachers, but other than that, I never had any interaction between those who are in the higher or lower year levels. Yes, I am that ordinary girl.  I would only stand out when there's art involved. When there were art contests at school, my classmates will automatically volunteer me. And after the conte...
