The idea for the Misceo people came about as I was trying to figure out a way to incorporate gray resin dolls into my group as I've become a bit fascinated by them and wanted to add one or two to my collection. I bit the bullet and ordered a gray Gene from Raccoon Doll, who will hopefully arrive within the next month or so. I knew I wanted her to be highly intelligent and a warrior. The gray color reminded me of the shadows, so I began to explore the idea that she could be of a race that was evolved from the Fae and was capable of blending in with the shadows to move about undetected. The perfect race of spies. Since Misceo means blending/mixing in Latin. I chose that for the name of the race, and since Umbra is Shadow in Latin I decided that gray Gene (when she arrives) would be an Umbra Misceo.
In the meantime I had received a package in the mail from my friend Robyn at Period Threads who had done some great brown and green pieces of clothing for my dolls in this size and I began to imagine another type of Misceo……………….a Misceo who would blend into the forest, the Silva Misceo's. I already owned a couple of really great brown resin dolls that would fit the bill and easily move into this world. Hauk, pictured above had received a great braided wig from Chewin, and when I put him in the Elven/fantasy outfits Robyn had made, he just seemed to come alive in this role, as did Sabia, pictured with Hauk below.
