Better pics of Ruby Woo, sorry it is the first time owning a camera for me and I am still learning.

Looks like the sumi is already starting to come up! I am excited

Man had lotsa trouble with the pics fitting in, but they should be good now.

Ruby Woo is very pretty, Darion. You're going to love that sumi when it comes up--again, and again and again, richer and darker each time....

Thanks Marie,

I am liking your Mikado as well. He is very elegant-looking. Yours and Aria 51 are my favorite Shiros. I have never owned one, maybe you and Papabear can help me pick one some day!

Update on Ruby Woo. Sorry for the bad pics....not the most expensive cam and still learning how to use it. My Ruby has gained some girth and grew 2" in about a month! Her sumi is coming up as well. Looks like a ? shape forming right on her nose area. Let me know what you think good or bad.

Ruby Woo's nose sumi is coming along interestingly, and body is getting volume pretty quickly!
