davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2025

[davidd]

The names you give them are always fun.  Elf pirates... so at Christmas do you have a Pirate Elf on the Shelf??  

I'm working on full names for the recent arrivals, Sophia, Aisha, and Vampirella.

That would be a Pirate Elf on the Taffrail (which doesn't rhyme nearly as well), who watches to see if you've been nautical or nice.

I "rebuilt" this 1/6-scale nun figure yesterday, replacing a full seamless body, which was not needed here as the habit restricts movement, with a jointed body salvaged from the Pirate Aisha upgrade project.

The shoes fit better now, giving the nun figure more stability. I tightened up the lining of the coif (hat) and tweaked the drape and detailing of the belts and beads.

The habit is a mix of vintage nun doll parts from the 1950s-1960s and a currently available 1/6-scale costume set.

I want to add a strap to the guitar so she can hold it in a free-standing position.
