My pixies are back together again!
Absinthe is the one in my icon, and she's been in a box for months now.
Here she's wearing a too-big wig snatched from a porcelain doll, and a "Gone with the wind" gown, also stolen from a porcelain doll. It's her Halloween outfit; Scare-lett O'Hairy.
My lovely Sambuca, who had another name from an original character of mine. She decided that she is "someone different" and wanted a name like her sister. So yeah; most of the fantasy color kids are named after booze.
I'm playing around with lighting, without any actual proper lighting gear.
I love the Bobobie Pixie sculpt. I kinda want one in every color. The body isn't as possible as more recent double jointed bodies, but I love how curvy they are and I'm really into their weird alien hands.
Sambuca was Lavender, originally. She has faded to a warm grey, but I still think of her as my purple girl. She was my first non-Goodreau BJD, and maybe my first resin doll, too. (Lucy might have arrived before she did.)
My mom and I went to a little fan run anime con together, partly for the doll programming. There was a wonderful woman there who was selling off her starter dolls, and she had a green pixie, a sprite, and this purple girl. I saw my mom lose her mind over the pointy ears, and noticed that she was eyeing the green one. So I whispered I her ear, "Mommy? I think I need a purple dolly..."
Mom flipped out and said "I need a green one!"
So I sauntered over and asked the seller if she would make me a deal on both pixies. We goth them with their gorgeous, expensive wigs (which were not originally included.)
I wrote the check, mom paid me half, and we called it each other's Christmas present.
But I had to have a green girl ofy own, so I caught Absinthe on ebay when Junkyspot was dumping a bunch of colorful Bobobie dolls right at the end of the year.
Absinthe's green has stayed very vibrant and true. I've customized her with face up, body blushing, and a spectacular set of green glitter pupiless eyes.
