*Obitsu Update*

Still a work in progress I'm afraid...I decided to make her the wig myself....and I am currently spending a few hours at a time sewing small clumps of saran into the wig-cap!

As you can guess it's laborious to say the least...but I'm sure it will be worth it!

"Nooo Mum, don't let them see me like this!"

"Well if you're sure they won't laugh..."

She's still on course to be an Elfen Lied "Lucy / Nyuu" ...not too sure if I'll be giving her a face paint and eyelashes yet...will have to see how it goes once the wig is done and I've got round to finding or making her some tiny clothes!

Obitsu "Elfen Lied - Lucy" Doll

In December 2008, I ordered the components to make myself a Dolfie, once they arrive from Hong Kong (Mimiwoo) and I begin working on it I'll keep you all posted on how it's coming along...I'm hoping to find some little elf ears for her...she's gonna be so cute.......Wooooohooo!!

Obitsu 25cm Figure 1/6 Gretel Head with Eye Hole & Eye pocket - Natural

Out of all the heads Mimiwoo had on offer, this one really stood out for me, I kept on finding myself going back to it for another look, in the end I accepted fate and clicked buy it now!

Obitsu Female 23cm Body - Natural skin

I wanted her to have a body that was not too big and didn't have massive great big boobies, so I opted for this  23cm  body, her bust is I guess you'd say earlier teens as she has breast bumps, but not over developed  I see Lucy & Nyuu as both being very naive and childlike characters in same ways, so this body seemed to be the perfect accompaniment to that stunning head... another Buy It Now click and it was mine!

Now for the eyes... I had no idea what I was going to do there, as Lucy / Nyuu has typical "Manga style" eyes, but although I could have bought a head that I could have painted or transferred them onto I really didn't like them very much, and so I decided upon more human looking eyes, in quite a neutral colour, but a neutral colour with a quirk!

Lucy Elfen Lied (pink Hair)

And this is my inspiration... in case you don't really know what I've been talking about!

Kurhn / Volks bargain for Ooak!

Since Aaron had the great idea of me turning my BJD into a "Lucy" from Elfen Lied, I've been looking for a suitable  replacement to make my "Fairy Folk Doll" ... cue this item!

2 Kurhn Dolls, 2 Packs of Saran Hair and a Volks Head with red eyes, from a Seller in Italy and all for the Grand Total of 3 Euros 65 - that works out to £2.96!!!  

Wooooot Wooooot!!

                                                             *** UPDATE***

In case you're wondering, the hair colours are: Fairy's Breath (the light lilac - pink) and the darker one is Rosewood ( a very beautiful dark Auburn colour), both are lovely and I'll show you how they look when rooted in later posts.

"OMG!! Would you look at that!"

Hmmm on second thought maybe it wasn't such a good idea to take Nyuu to the Art Gallery!

Nyuu is a 23 inch Obitsu girl I'm working on ... the plan is to make an Elfin Lied doll of her one day very soon sad thing is tho' she's pretty much on hold indefinitely as I've been having a devil of a time trying to turn a wig cap and some bright pink hair into a wig for her ... not only that I have to try and work out how to attach her horns to it too ...

oh well maybe I should cop out and buy a ready made wig then add the horns and make the clothes (great excuse to watch Elfin Lied again lol!!) ... still thinking about it really and truth be told I quite like her bald anyway hahahahaha
