A little Easter 'Egg' here for you :)

I finished my little Bunkins yesterday and was able to take some photos in time for the easter holidays. Hope ya'll have nice days, no matter if you celebrate.

Helena, Winona and Bela are heads sculpted and printed by @snow-and-resin / Bodies and two dresses are by Kokoya / Heads painted and neck modded by me

I will aim to post their progress soon but for now this is my little easter gift for you all <3

WiP Working on the little Bunkins (Pumpkins) - Pt 1

As the Blindbox dolls have a very interesting mechanic for the heads to be attache but still are stringed i am able to change the heads. But the bodies have very flimsy s-hooks so the first step was to exchange them for bigger hooks.

Also I removed one of the neck extenders already as they are way too "stick" looking, I will make new ones to give the Pumpkins more neck again.

Next I tested if magnets from my stash would fit and luckily they did, meaning I don't need to order magnets here.

More interesting is the true prep work starting here. Sanding all the pieces before I paint them.

The before and after makes it more noticable.

Of course all 3 heads got a sanding treatment. Some have more texture left than the others due the different ears.

Before I started painting them I attached magnets to the neck pieces and then to the heads.

I will post the painting progress in another post, as I jumped between tasks and it gets quite confusing to follow ... ^^'

Inbetween I started on the neck extenders, I like to fill in waiting times with other crafts to just use the time.

Here are the extenders ready to bake! (made them with cosclay).

While they were baking i prepared the other two bodies for the extendors but I managed to warp a hook and had to restring one of them... as I was done the extenders were done too!

Sadly one of them broke as I wasn't able to remove the full neck piece and played around too much to make it fit, I remade it quickly. ... just to notice the other pieces broke as well. So i had three broken and a new one. I decided to scratch this variant and go with apoxy.

I decided to add some vines to the extender this time and then added them to the neck part directly for more stability.

Luckily this time the neck extenders were durable enoough. I had to restring Bela before putting on the head as they were too loose.

As said the painting and progress of decorating the heads will be an own post as somehow the steps piled up and it's easier to follow the progress like this.

- Pt 2

So here is the promised painting the heads part =)

First is the little Kitty, she goes by the name "Helena". My inspiration for her is indeed Helena Bonham Carter and I wanted a reference to her being in a lot of Tim Burton Movies and the fact he uses a lots of stripes I played with several concepts but ended up with more Cheshire Cat stripes, or like someone said a "Toasted Marshmallow"-Look.

The Bear is named "Bela" after Bela Lugosi famous for countless movies and plays in the Horror Genre. The head had a lot of color to be added.

And some additions. Why Poppies? It's a reference to the 1920 movie adaption of 'Picture of Dorian Gray' in which Bela Lugosi took the Role of Dorian and the usage of Opium there. Opium = made of Poppy seeds.

As I was done painting and took pics and tidied up afterwards I found the glasses for Bela and attached them finally <3

For Winona, my little Bunny here, I struggled the most to find a concept fitting. For the other two I had something related to the actors I got the names from but for her somehow... nothing clicked. I decided to go more for something autumn related and made her a reference to Pumpkin Spice Latte! (Funfact: i don't like coffee and even PSL is too bitter for me :') but I like the illustrations)

Her ears are supposed to be cinnamon sticks and she got whipped cream, sprinkles and a pinch of 'cinnamon' on top. I really love how she came out.

In the end I glossed them all.

And here are all three painted <3 (before and after pics for Bela with the glasses here)

And with their bodies:

I think I will upgrade two of the dresses later on to give them a more cohesive vibe.
