smaller thread, smaller hook

after this I found a much much older video (six years) of almost the same hat, but that has several differences in rows and I think I'll try it next for more volume and a bigger brim

This was a bit of an experiment.

The brown braids in the front are what was left from the hair I bought from Shimmer Locks.

All of the black "braids" actually came from a roll of micro cord fiber. It mimics microbraids pretty well.

My concern now is whether or not a hot water rinse will lay them down and set the part.

Character design belongs to client.

The doll is 27cm tall with posable neck, tail, and semi-movable legs/loins. All solid elements are 3d printed from flexible resin.

Fabric fur, resin, acrylic paint, varnish.

Sometimes I forget to post projects here, the one place I could write a whole wall of text in!

I saw this body on ig and it had a backstory, but as soon as I saw it, I had to message the owner to buy it! I was originally going to do another kintsugi/visibly broken doll, but I’ve been challenging myself to do different things this year, like I used to when I was fresher to the hobby!

Step 1 was gluing everything together with loctite and reinforcing the insides with apoxie sculpt. Step 2 was finding a head and purpose for this. Luckily I have plenty of floating heads!

This one had more intact pieces, and it could almost pass as normal once everything was put together. All fingers and toes fit, all joints and the only thing u was missing was one half of an elbow peanut. The one piece I couldn’t reinforce lest it look weird were the fingers. I will look for some gold rings to cover them!

when i was a kid, we had this variety of bleeding heart plant growing in our yard:

i thought they looked like translucent fairies wearing poofy pants. i was recently reminded of this & wanted to make a translucent fairy in poofy pants.

i love how the transparent parts turned out and absolutely want to experiment more with this technique. i printed the inner skeletal parts as normal, and then printed a one-walled shell with no infill out of transparent filament. i cut the shell open in the back and slid the skeleton inside. the outer layer of the head doesn't have eyes sockets, which makes the eyes hazy.

Ohh, riiighhht. The 28mm lens is better at taking pictures like this. I really should get that fixed sometime...

Anyway! I was just making random doll clothes, and putting them on dolls with Mod Era heads and modern articulated bodies, and eventually noticed that the clothes were in coordinating colors, so I started choosing fabrics deliberately, and here we are.
