Introducing Yukiko

After half a year of anticipation (she was ordered in August), Yukiko is finally home and complete! I'm very excited and proud to finally be able to share her; especially after alluding to her quite a few times in posts and photostories.

Yukiko is a 5StarDoll Tong Tong (white skin) who was purchased without a faceup from the 5SD summer event. She was given to me as a gift by my boyfriend and fellow Dollieh Sanctuary member LiddellsMaster.

After many months of waiting, she finally arrived in the states in January. Then, she was fully customized. Her beautiful faceup was done by the talented OkamiKodomo, along with the blushing to her ZM Large Kitty ears (representing fox ears) and the manicure and blushing of her tiny paws. Her kimono was designed and sewn by me from re-purposed kimono fabric, which was purchased from NYCC back in the fall. Her five tails were also hand-crafted by me from soft white fur.

She's supposed to represent an arctic fox. Unfortunately, all the pale colors does seem to pose a challenge to photographing her. When it gets a little warmer out, I'll do an outside shoot in the sun. But for now, here's Yukiko, shot at night with a backdrop of a vintage sari quilt:

She looks great! The light blues helps her arctic fox look and gives a chilly feeling. :)

She is very adorable! I love the eyes as well as her big ears. She screams 'hug me!'....even though you'll probably walk away with frostbite on all your fingers. LOL! Would be sooo totally worth it! :)

Gerald gives a thumbs up and "Sweet!", and I love her! I'm glad the ears work for her. I love her eyes and her kimono! She is a little darling!
