So I'm currently reading the second Kaya mystery, The Ghost Wind Stallion. I'm not very far yet (no Spoilers, please!), but I love how much it focuses on Speaking Rain, and it got me thinking again about Speaking Rain customs.
I've always seen people use the Kaya face mold for Speaking Rain. That makes sense, because Kaya's is the only female mold with a closed mouth; but still, I don't like the idea of them looking exactly the same except the eyes. Recently on Marketplace, I saw a custom for sale where the artist had used something to fill in the lips of a doll, hiding the teeth (I think the intent was to make the lips fuller, and the teeth were just a side effect). Anyways, I thought the Nanea mold, with her narrow face and wide eyes, would be perfect for Speaking Rain if someone did that. I started out just daydreaming, but then I was so enchanted with the idea that I ended up spending far, FAR too long making this edit (it's currently 7:43 am local time and I haven't slept yet). Anyways, I think she is gorgeous and now someday (probably years in the future, but someday) when I have the money, I'm going to commission someone to create her for real.
