Aren't you a cute little AAAH WHERE'D YOUR HANDS GO?!

Janna alerted me to a box of cheap Barbies at the ReSource resale shop on Thursday. Because I need more dolls, I checked them out. Though they had haircuts, they were all in good condition, with the slight smudges of definite love and wear. Surprisingly, most were Fashionistas, which made them a real temptation, since they were $3.00 apiece. However, I have three Fashionistas [Shopping While Constipated and two Dream House friends -- I sold the other two] that I have yet to do anything with, so I didn't want to stock up on them just for the sake of cheapness.

I could not, however, resist the one below. She had ridiculously loose joints, several pinpricks in her face and, most glaringly, no hands. For these reasons, I only paid a buck for her. In my current hacking and slashing mood, I thought I could experiment on her with body mods. For easy reference, I have named her Perdita, which means "the lost one" in Latin, in keeping with her neglected, salvaged state. I have a feeling that I may end up more attached to her than some of my much more expensive dolls.

Makin' Pearlene a body

I have trimmed away Pearlene's skull globe -- basically everything except her face -- and discovered that, while a bit large, her face is acceptable for my 1:6 scale purposes. All that extra size was in the height and depth of her skull globe! I carved her neck hole out a bit more and stuck her on a 5StarDoll tiny BJD torso just to demonstrate the effect of a short, wide neck on her face. The width of the neck stretches out her face a little bit and makes her look fat.

Look ma -- no hands!

Here is Cola [short for her given name, Nicola, which she does not like]. She's a High School Musical Sharpay [?!!] head repainted by Andrea [of course!] in the style of Nicki Minaj. She came to me on a Fashionista body with repaired left hand, dressed in the leotard from Toy Story 2 Barbie. ( Read more... )
