There's a new girl in town! xD - MintyFresh - 10-04-2011 Sooo... I'm kind of upset that I didn't take unboxing pictures, but ah well. Too late now ![]() ![]() The husb is always super sweet to take interest in my box openings even though he's not that into them himself, but I think he found it a little disconcerting when I removed her from her box and promptly started "ripping" her wig off. I'm always extremely careful, but there's always rather scary tearing sounds no matter how gentle you are ![]() ![]() I got randomly inspired to make her my own right away, so practically within the hour, I customized her some new chips and a mohair wig. I didn't have enough teal and was pretty bummed until I thought to do a two-toned wig. I really love it with the white. I think it makes her look spunky and eclectic ![]() Now on to the pictures! I never thought I was a pic story type of person, but I just couldn't help it with this one. She is too stinkin' cute and her personality developed almost instantly in my mind ![]() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ![]() Celsiy: *Feels new hair* ... wow! I like it! Although I'm not gonna lie. I was a little worried before you styled it... ![]() Me: So glad you approve! Sorry it's still a little damp... ![]() Celsiy: The new eyes are so different from what I'm used to! I really like them though... ![]() Me: I think you look lovely ![]() Celsiy: Aya? Telep--- *TELEPORT* ![]() Aya: ... Hi. Celsiy: Eeeeeek! ![]() Aya: Yeeeeeah, I get that a lot. I see she made you a wig too. She... really likes mohair. Here. Have some cupcake. Celsiy: ..... *peek* Me: I think you guys will get along just fine ![]() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oooook, well now I feel kind of silly ![]() ![]() But anyways... I love my new girl! I really need to start coming up with names for them other then their stock names. Also, I was surprised to discover that I actually like type 3s! First type 3, first second hand doll, first pictures uploaded to my flickr, and first pic story! Lots of firsts! YAY! ![]() ~ Minty Ps. Sorry for the iffy picture quality. The lighting in my house after dark is pretty much terrible ![]() RE: There's a new girl in town! xD - sceimhiuil - 10-04-2011 I LOVE your customizations!! The two-tone is really unique. ![]() RE: There's a new girl in town! xD - MintyFresh - 10-04-2011 (10-04-2011, 02:44 PM)sceimhiuil Wrote: I LOVE your customizations!! The two-tone is really unique.

That quickly? sigh ** I WISH ! ![]() ![]() RE: There's a new girl in town! xD - Cherryfox - 10-04-2011 Do you fancy sharing HOW you made your own wig, like putting together a tutorial or something, I think it's something we'd all love to learn, and I know I for one have a ton of mohair sat round from making fimo dolls and I'd love to be able to make a pullip wig from it! x RE: There's a new girl in town! xD - Little_Spark - 10-04-2011 Oh my goodness, those wigs... ![]() RE: There's a new girl in town! xD - MintyFresh - 10-04-2011 (10-04-2011, 04:25 PM)Miss Edith Wrote: your girls are gorgeous and I am so impressed, you make your own mohair wigs?

I took some cheapo craft felt and drafted a pattern. Then I sewed the pieces together and tried it on a doll to test it. I repeated that several times until I was generally happy with the fit. Then I took the pelt, traced out my pattern, and sewed everything together again by hand. Once all the pieces were together, I folded the front rim over just a tiny bit and tacked it down with leather glue so her hairline wouldn't just be an ugly raw edge. Currently, I'm doing a time test to see if the dyed leather stains the silicone caps I have underneath. So far so good, but if staining happens in the future, then I will deem it unsafe for bare Pullip heads. Then it will be back to the drawing board to either design a wig cap to sew inside or find a source where the leather is colorfast. Whew ![]() RE: There's a new girl in town! xD - Little_Spark - 10-04-2011 You will start to sell wigs?
