I bought Greyhaunt's chocolate Bobobie Pixie, and she just arrived home today! She's a little darling. I haven't quite decided what to call her yet.
The box was very well taped. So I brought out my biggest letter opener.
Packing peanuts!
Pretty kimono! I'm going to try to make a black obi to go with it, and she can wear it while we watch the Steelers.
It's got little flowers on it, but the picture's blurry.
Tribble! It's a little small to easily work on her big noggin, though.
Bubblewrap mummy!
Toooooes. And her resin's such a lovely color!
And here she is! Lookit those eeeeeyes.
I spare wig I had on hand...I don't know why or where from. ....if she keeps it, I'm not the only one getting a haircut.
The kimono is very striking on her.
And the golden gown I made for her. It used to be part of an old tablecloth.
I think she's gonna be bald for a while. We'll discuss hair later.
You know...when I was waiting for her I really thought I was bringing home a pretty girl for Peaseblossom to play dressup with. I think I've ended up with Ariel's partner in crime...
Some better shots of the dress. I'm pleased with it and it's my first attempt at putting in a zipper. I think it all turned out pretty well, especially since I did it all really freehand. I made the two tiered gold chain necklace she's wearing, too.
And the shoes, from Dale Rae. ...When I look at them, I think that now I need to get a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood and hair as yellow as corn...
She's absolutely darling, much prettier and more delicate than the official pictures from Bobobie. Her waist joint's just as slippy as Pease's used to be but I'm going to hot glue suede her like I did with my other BBBs. I'm going to have to get start on the other outfits I've got in mind for her soon.
ETA: Got a chance to sit down with her, hot-glue suede all her joints, tighten her elastic, and put a nylon washer in her head under the S-hook to improve her head mobility, and she moves like a dream now. I also took a nice family shot of all my Bobobies together (the front wave of my Bobobie army, one day there shall be one of every color and then we shall TAKE OVER THE WORLD! MUAHAHAHAHA! ...ahem.).
