Dollieh Sanctuary

So, I have an MNF El head that has been floating, and I finally got a neck connector for it... I still had no body for the head, but wanted to try it on Obsidian's body (Mirodoll boy)... As I was attempting to wrestle Obsidian's S-hook loose, the El head informed me that it would rather have a female body, and so...



^ Holloran's body has been stolen (I swear the skintone mismatch isn't nearly as noticeable in person )



^ wearing a mesh fingerless glove thingy as a dress while she waits for me to make a new outfit



Body snatcher: I have a name, you know.

Lamia: Nope, I did not know.

Body snatcher: It's Valora.



And half of Pulp Fiction later, the dress is ready.



Valora seems to like it.

(It's made from the sleeve of a blouse... so it was tube-shaped already and I just had to alter it to teh correct shape and add fastenings... the ribbon belt is separate, not sewn on... which is more of me being lazy so I could add less fastenings to the actual dress, because the belt pulls the waist in. )



^ And Val has topped the outfit off with a scarf thingy.

Valora: Don't call me Val...

Lamia: Don't you like nicknames?

Valora: No. And it isn't pronounced that way anyway, so if I did have a nickname it would be "Vay", not "Val".

Lamia: Or Vale.

Valora: No.

Lamia: Lora?

Valora: No.



Moving on...



Testing chemistry between the only unpaired MSDs, Obisdian and Valora.



Valora seems accepting, Obsidian does not look amused.



Obsidian still not feeling it.



Obsidian: Please let me go back into hiding now.

Bonus shot of the rest of my MSDs (except for the now-floating-head Holloran)

Bossy dolls are such fun, aren't they? And using a ribbon isn't being lazy, it's being practical! She looks good!

Valora's personality hasn't come out much yet. She seems to be offended by nicknames and not like shoes, but other than that, she's been pretty chill about everything so far.

I suppose I'll be ordering a female Mirodoll body for her rather than a male one, so Holloran can get her body back.

The ribbon might not technically be lazy, but it *was* a shortcut that saved me some sewing.

I love the idea of using a dress sleeve, that's quite brilliant! And just think, one could probably find loads of gorgeous tunic style tops at thrift stores. I think her gown is pretty, as is her name.

Thanks

The shirt I made it from was one from my "rag bag" (Unfortunately, the other sleeve was badly mangled, which is why it ended up in hte rag bag in the first place...)

Rag Bag = doll clothes paradise!

Valora seems to be a sleepy bunny. Daww!
