Introducing my dolls ;) (Obitsu etc)

Aloha, thanks to ShortNCuddlyAm, who generously sent some spare head pieces today I can introduce you to Antomony. She is an Obitsu Fairy/Pixie head on a 21 cm Obitsu body (hard bust).
Word of advice, though: Parabox is listing this head for the 25 and/or 27 cm body. Though, as you see, the head CAN go on the smaller bodies with some slight tweaking (I love my exacto knife), it is not a perfect fit. Her range of motion is limited to side movements; the head cannot tilt or look up or down etc.
The large elf ears, though adorable, also make it hard for the (admittedly cheap and not perfectly fitted) wigs to stay on. Will have to try with an "official" wig in some months when I can afford to order... (I splurged on a small order with Parabox and two Neemo bodies ^^")
Also, 6mm eyes are a pain in the proverbial behind >_> Had to cut slits in the eye pockets and "dismember" one eye (taking the back half off) to fit eyes and neck piece in the head.
The little suitcase Am sent the neck pieces in now also holds the spare Obitsu hands etc.
I have yet to knit something new for her ^^" This is my very first face up, very basic, nothing fancy, and though not perfect by far it is not perfectly horrible (therefore giving me hope for the other heads I have ordered )
My other girl, Ismene, is a Nano Haruka head on the 23cm Obitsu SBH body (forgive me for recycling the pic from the knitting post ^^" still much moving etc. to do due to the water damage, not much time for nice pictures D:)
More to some sometime soon (Once all my orders come in and I find the time for faceups etc...)
