I didn't spray paint that wall, I swear...

Today’s Doll - finally finished painting my Dollits Jicheon that I don’t remember posting here before! I waffled on what to do with him but settled on making him the head for my Kintsugi body! I used the same liquid gold leaf and abalone shells I used on the body. I ended up being a bit more heavy handed than I’d intended to, but I think he looks good!

Mafuyu’s back!! I was today years old when I learned the Dollstown 18 yr body can do a pretty mean seiza/kneeled sitting, and he was so stable, so of course that’s his new position now forever and he can even sit in the cabinet this way…

I busted my ass on this shoot, on the floor, swearing under the lights. But I think it was all worth it for Soom Dia #2! He’s also finally wearing his Fifth Motif hands which I’m debating if I should blush or not, because technically the white paint they use in kabuki goes on his hands too!

Jojo’s new body came in! It’s the same as the other Blackship Doll body, this time in volks tan. Next, I’ll take pics of the gorgeous box!

Pulled out the big camera for these pics of Béon and Ayida, the old married couple of my doll group! I just noticed the button on the Andinsky set I got from Space Studio’s booth at NYC Doll Con had a B on it. It was meant to B😏

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 it 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!

For anyone looking for a beautiful, well-posing, plus sized doll body in 1/4 or 1/3, Blackship Doll is a new company that made an “Oil Painting Body”. The first presale ended, but Space Studio will be opening a second order sometime soon!
