Up next (I am so not going in chronological order here, or posting as much as I wanted to...)
Another cheap ebay find from last February, Neo Angelique.

She laid around for quite awhile, skulking in corners of my dolly area. I finally gave her a new look this past week, and she turned out to be sweeter looking than I ex.pected.
I decided to order some Lullaby eyes for her. This was my first time ordering from them (though a few of my secondhand dolls seemed to come with Lullaby chips). I ordered July 8, and they finally arrived a few days ago. Yikes! The site said they ship in 3-5 business days... they finally updated as shipped on etsy on July 21, and then when the envelope arrived it was postmarked August 1. I wish they had been more upfront about shipping time-- I'm fine being patient if I know what to ex.pect.
Anyhow, the chips are gorgeous. They are listed as 13mm... my understanding is that they'd fit Type 4 Pullips, but not other Groove dolls that are 12mm. Oddly enough, the peacock colored pair that I bought with the intention of using for this doll seemed a bit large... I could have made them fit if need be, but they weren't great... but they fit a Dal I was working on perfectly! OK, then... I tried the other pair I got (meteorite) on the Pullip, and they fit better.
Finding a wig was also a bit of trial and error, but I finally settled on a Leekeworld wig that I got from Denver Doll a couple years back. I've always found this wig rather disappointing; I loved the colors, but the bangs were overly long, and if you tried to part them so you could see the doll's eyes, the wig cap showed massively. However, this time around I discovered that if you brush the bangs straight down, the sparseness of the hairs is not apparent at all. So I bit the bullet and attempted bang trimming for the first time. I don't think it came out too bad!
