Masha, Masha, Masha...
Yeah... I'm thinking of calling her "Masha". Heheh...
Her face looks kinda Russian to me (besides being a bit on the goofy side... lolz).
Once upon a time, in my university days, I was in a production of Anton Chekov's "Three Sisters". I played Irina and Anfisa (show was double-casted, with all the women playing alternate roles on alternate nights). Masha was Irina's middle sister, whose husband (played by the guy who later became my hubby) said at one point, "Masha, Masha, Masha..." His character was always running around looking for his wife, Masha, who was meanwhile having an affair. Fun stuff that play! It was directed by our favourite prof, Reg Skeene, who was an absolutely brilliant man.
So, this girl is very cute and finally put-together and painted. The Limhwa body got cleaned, partially sueded, sealed and blushed. I've sanded the finger-nails a bit, and painted the hand-nails and the toe-nails.
I re-painted the head too - it was quite yellowed, but even more amazingly, it matches the body surprisingly well (and the body is very very yellowed indeed - French resin! Yeek!). Pretty good though, for a head from 2005 and a body from around 2006.
Anyway, the head and body work nicely together.
I thought I didn't have any good eyelashes left, so I didn't put any one her. However, I've just found some more, so I may yet put them on her later.
Also, the eyes I've got in her in these photos are 16mm Mako eyes (Owl-018). They're nice, but I think they're a bit small for her... I'm going to have to try either another brand in 16mm, or a pair of 18mm's instead. :D
Holy cow! I actually can't believe I've finally taken the time to do so much work on a doll! It's been ages since I've done sueding on a body... And all that blushing and sealant... I'll need to buy more MSC soon!
Heheh...
Anyway, I'll have to think of her character... I've got some ideas so far. :)
