Generation Girl Nichelle repaint except I did it after working on something else and ran out of steam almost immediately and rushed though the whole thing. The brows are especially sloppy and lazy, haha. I’ll do it over another time, but here’s how she is for now, plus my mockup and blank photos for fun.

Frightfully Tall Clawdeen custom! Fun stuff. I promise her head and body match in real life, I didn’t change the color of either. That’s just the camera being weird.
Anyway, I did the very obvious eye surgery thing using an exacto knife and diamond files. The head glue was, as others have noted, super weird but at least less gross. I positioned the eyes up considerably higher than the painted eyes so she looks pretty different. The eyes are 16 or 18 mm – I don’t know and I honestly don’t remember where I got them? It is a mystery. I did her faceup BJD style, it was fun.
The wig was also a fun experiment, and it hides the fact that she has no ears. It’s a very lazy plastic-and-painted-masking-tape hard cap with glued-on tibetan lamb that I got from the trim of a $1 skirt from a rummage sale at the local children’s theater, which is probably the weirdest possible source of specialty craft supplies. I have no idea why that skirt was trimmed with that.

Adventures in rebody-ing. A very awesome friend got two MTM dolls for my birthday, which means I immediately had to try out some heads.
I had two favorite dark-toned heads to duke it out for the body, Generation Girl Part Nichelle with badly rubbed lips and as-of-yet-unidentified 80’s Cara with heavily conditioned hair. I really like both of them! Nichelle’s been pending a repaint a long time, though, so I figure who wins the body depends on that…
Pale body had the Lois Lane head right now. I really like the features of that head, but she’s just not doing much for me and I haven’t been able to dress her…
Actually, note that all of these picture are taken on my bin of clothes. See how many clothes I have. Then think about the how often I’ve actually posted pictures of dolls all dressed. I need a stylist for my dolls, haha.
