Ball Jointed Doll Meetup & More

During the last couple months, things have started picking up for CNC. We acquired a table for Anime Expo's Artist Alley once again and we've begun preparing new ideas to unviel for this year. Also, the website has been completely redesigned! We're working to make the site feel more professional as well as keep it updated regularly with new pictures and information. There's still a fair amount of updating that needs to be done and if you find any broken links or problems with the site, please e-mail us and let us know.

Currently, we're working to get items ready for AX. Caps, plushies, jewelry and more all still need to be made. A new idea we'll be bringing to the convention this year is Ball Jointed Doll clothing. Ball Jointed Dolls, like lolita, can be very expensive to get into. Since we already make caps, clothing and accessories for humans, we decided we should start offering miniature versions for BJD's. To see if there was any interest in our items for BJD's, we recently went to a small Ball Jointed Doll meetup at the University of Riverside's Botanic Garden. We met up with our friend RivetSpoon who introduced us to some very nice people and their dolls.



We brought several caps, cupcakes and a lolipop to let the dolls play with as well as a black polka dot skirt (pictured above). We were pleased to find that the BJD owners all really liked our stuff. We learned quite a lot about the world of ball jointed dolls and the community behind them. We'll be working to make more items soon for BJD's. If you're interested in commissioning something for a ball jointed doll, please e-mail us at: catnapcaps@gmail.com

As you can see in the pictures above, the botanic garden was really beautiful.

Last week, Cindy's puppy accidentally ate some snail poison. He became very ill and needed to be rushed to the vet. We're incredibly pleased to report that he's made a full recovery and we wanted to share his good health with a few photos! :D



Isn't he adorable?? The big dog in the last picture could eat him in one bite.
