My girl, Li.

I need to think of a name for my RS Li soon before "Li" accidentally sticks.

Anyway, I got her beginning of this week but she is not ready to be shown yet. I have no clothes for her, no eyes, no eyelashes, no wig, and I got her new elastic which is also not here. LOL! She is the most incomplete doll that has arrived to me. BUT I can't help but love her. She's helping me through a rough time, which I greatly appreciate. Plus, as a bonus, she's my first in a lot of ways:

-First MSD
-First doll I need to completely clean
-First doll I have to restring
-First doll I've modded

Because of this, I think we are bonding quite nicely, despite her being an impulse purchase. I mean, I've wanted a Li for a long while but she really was low on the list, poor thing. But now that I have her home, I'm very glad I went for her. XD

The mod I did on her was a mod to get her to be able to sit. Apparently, her lower torso and wide thighs wouldn't allow for her to do that. Now, RS has since fixed this issue but, since I bought my girl secondhand, it was either deal with the fact she'd be a standing doll only or follow this tutorial and do something about it. I actually can't believe I did it and I'm glad I did. It was therapeutic and rewarding, even if it lacks perfection.

As for cleaning her, I plan to do that tomorrow once I figure out the best course of HOW to clean her. Hopefully her elastic is here either tomorrow or tuesday and she won't have to stay in pieces long. I'm also going to practice one more faceup before doing her face. Her face won't be perfect but I like doing faceups now so, hopefully, I'll like it. XD

That's all, really. There will be official pictures of her once she's complete. XD

LOL! What did I do?

I impulsively bought a Resinsoul Li. O.o I've been wanting her for awhile and I kept just putting her off, especially since I have dolls on layaway to take care of. But, then I came across a deal I couldn't pass up and I went for it. I almost can't believe I did it, especially since I am very broke and I won't be able to do much with her for at least two weeks. *sigh* Oh well.

I'm sitting here debating ordering her eyes. I want her to have Captured in Glass eyes like the rest of my dolls but, seriously, so broke. LOL! And right now I'm waiting to hear back about her wig. If I don't hear back about it soon, maybe I'll free up that money to get her a cheaper wig and a pair of eyes. *sigh* Stupid expensive dollies! But, I'll be so glad to have her home. I can't wait! XD

My first SD faceup

I forgot to post this here. It's my first SD faceup and DAMN is it bad! I make every mistake in the book. But, at the same time, I'm kinda proud of it simply because I did it and I didn't think I would. So, with all its mistakes, I still think it's beautiful. Here's hoping my second one goes better. XD

Uninspired but working on it

I'm not completely sure what's going on, more than likely my depression rearing its ugly head again, but I've been distinctly uninspired. I look at my dolls and I WANT to take pictures of them and make them clothes, etc, but I just haven't been able to make myself do it. I gave myself a talking to today, though. If I want to get better at sewing clothes and doing faceups, I HAVE to practice. Especially since I have dolls coming whose style I haven't found in clothes their size and who are blank! And, especially in the case of the Doll Chateau dolls I have on layaway. Their body types are so strange and thin that I imagine I'll have to make them clothes until DC comes out with clothes of their own. So, yeah. I have to put my foot down. Especially since I used so much money to buy supplies only to not be using them. That's just a waste and I can't afford to waste money right now. So, yeah. Here's me trying again. I have two faceups to complete, one for SD practice, and one on my blank Hujoo baby who has been blank for MONTHS despite my excitement for her. *sigh*

Here goes nothing. XD
