Doll Stash Project #2

Wysteriah is all back together, with a fancy new neck-to-head connection (psst it uses a clothes button and bjd elastic, plus sueding). She also has her eyes popped back in, which really pulls together the whole purple look.

Doll Stash Project #2

Face-up stage: Complete

I had soooo much fun on Wysteriah's face. Because she is a porcelain doll, a lot of her original face paint and makeup was fired in and can't be removed with acetone, so after a light acetone clean I just spray Mr. Super Clear and paint a new face-up over the top. Her black eyelid crease and gloss coating on her lips came off easily with acetone though which really helped the process. So if you're wondering why she has quite pink flushed cheeks, it's because she already had them. The sealant does mute it with each coat sprayed though so it's less noticeable now than before.

Pics below, plus her original face.

Her head tattoo is a stylised wisteria (please don't judge, I've never seen or drawn wisteria before lol) and once the glue on her lashes dries I can re-fit her purple eyes. Will probably try and suede her neck before reassembling everything.

Anyway, until next time!

Doll Stash Project #2

This hybrid doll has kinda been floating around my collection for ages with no direction or purpose, so I figured I'd take a proper look at her and come up with a vague concept. Please ignore the cat stickers plastered over her body picture (trying to see if I can avoid the mature content Gods)

She's made up of a cheap plastic hinged bid style body, about 60-ish cm tall, and a porcelain doll head. I have 3 of these kinds of hybrids in my collection using these particular heads on various bodies so the head sculpt is kinda sentimental to me.

This is where my thought process went to while sketching for her. Also the name Wysteriah crossed my mind, since I've given her these gorgeous purple eyes I found at an opshop/thrift store. So fingers crossed I can make some progress on her today if I don't get caught up doing other crap 😂.
