Daria 2, yes this is a different one from from Daria1. Why? Half rooted dolls are my catnip, my kryptonite... and look, my impulse control went out the window during a rough mental health day so there are 2 more RH heads on their way that I might not keep (or I’ll sell Bubbles and Demaya). She made a very fun project (though finding the right body is going to be tough) - she had some small paint flaws to acetone off and a cracked head, which is usually how you get a half rooted doll: the machine hits a snag, makes a big hole, the head gets tossed into the reject bucket.
So you cut the hair out, heat the head, superglue it together and paint a new hairline that doesn’t go over the hole. It just so happens that I had 35g of greenish lemon blonde kiwi that I’ve been using for dye experiments: the blue you saw on Amee and a bag of 12g that I’d tinted a pale cream pink.
Now the rose pink hair she came with has an odd plastic-y feeling, it’s not nearly as soft as kiwi usually is, Daria1′s rose is the same - not as soft - but slightly less dry feeling so I’ll try it a flat iron to see if that helps.
I am loving the rosy cream look that really enhances her makeup. Now we wait for blue dye to arrive so I can dye some ash blonde the right shade of lilac-pink for her parting and tint Daria1 so she no longer clashes with her own makeup. Like, for real MGA bungled this doll’s design so bad.
I’m not going to fix the blush on Daria1 or make eyes until all dye work and head heating is done. I’m going to be making eyes from decoden cream left to dry out into a putty this time. Paper clay mixed with glue is too fragile and takes ages to cure and milliput cures too hard to be able to alter without damaging the eye makeup.
