I am the Bad Wolf.

I am the Bad Wolf, I create myself.
As I mentioned in my last post, I have become a ridiculously huge Doctor Who fan. My favorite companion so far is Rose Tyler - who is a total bad ass! ^__^

I won't say too much, in case some of you haven't seen the entire series featuring the 9th Doctor yet. (Doubtful, I know! Who hasn't watched Doctor Who? I'm just a late bloomer! Harhar.)

The Bad Wolf meme is by far one of my favorite themes within the series and I was dying to have something that referenced both it and my new-found Whovian-ness. >_< Luckily for me, a very talented person (or team of people, based on the e-mail I received with my order lol) on Etsy is selling a bracelet that totally encompasses and represents those two very things! (Look here!) What's a gal to do? Spend $14.95 on a handmade bracelet! Duh! ^_^

The artist/crafter/whatever you'd like to call him/her/them is very talented! I know this blog seems advertorial-ish, but none of my posts are paid for - I swear! Lol Just take a look at their shop and thank me later. ^_~

Adorable Mini Figures

A very good friend of mine, Nikki, stopped by my work place recently to pick up a gift I had for her, and I was very pleasantly surprised when she help up this cutie-patootie: 


Are you all "squeeee"-ing with me? Because you should be!  For those of you that don't immediately recognize him by his trademark features (nose, ear, hairline lol,) it's Christopher Eccleston as the 9th Doctor! 

I've recently developed into a huge Doctor Who fanatic. When she gave it to me I simply couldn't stop myself from grinning ear-to-ear like a maniac. And it's the 9th Doctor! C'mon folks! You never forget your first Doctor. 

I was so awestruck by how close the likeness was (taking into consideration that it's a chibi figure of him) that I contacted her to asked if I could commission her to make a Cyberman figure. I always knew that Nikki was ridiculously talented but take a look at this! For such a tiny figure she managed to put in little details, like the headphone-esque thing coming out of it's head, the chest piece, and the very sad eyes. ;__; 




Nikki might be opening a Storenvy shop soon, so I hope you'll all keep an eye out for it! And for the record, she can do other minis - not just Doctor Who figures! ;)
