The past couple weeks I’ve been working on another batch of faceups, and this time first to the finish line is Alna! Well, 2B is also done but I’m waffling on the best eyes for her, and she’ll get her own update anyway. Alna is from Volks’ original character line ‘Akihabara Girls’ and has…
In the course of curating my doll collection, I ended up trading one of my resin BJD heads for a head that’s been on my wishlist for a long time – SWS DDH-11. Yes, I really love the DDH-11 sculpt! When I was in Japan and shopping for D’Coords at the Volks stores, I had…
Rounding out my latest batch of faceups, Yukiho Hagiwara! Yukiho is another sculpt that was on my wishlist for ages. Back when she was originally released, DD lotteries were super competitive and I missed out on the chance to get her for a reasonable price. I kept my eye out for an affordable option, and…
Cute Redux – Emilia’s Return I’ll confess this isn’t the first time Emilia was welcomed to the Doll Lab- I originally got V1 Emilia through the Volks lottery without any issue as she wasn’t too popular at the time. I thought she had potential for a custom project but didn’t do that or much of…
Continuing my sunny weather faceup projects, I was able to do a custom faceup for SWS DDH-16 head. Volks did a pre-order for these heads last year and I ordered one without a specific plan in mind. Eventually I decided on a red dragon themed girl, and I was able to trade my Flesh color…
For my next faceup project, I decided to repaint my student Mariko head. I’ve painted a custom Mariko before but my own Mariko ended up in the faceup backlog until now. Before and after I ended up fussing a bit more with this one after I thought I was done also- I realized…
Finally nice weather has returned (mostly) and since I’m stuck at home most days, I started working on my faceup backlog between making batches of eyes. My favorite lately is this custom semi-white DDH-12, who took a couple tries to get right. I originally modded the nose and started working on a faceup months ago…
Confession time: I take a lot of Alice photos ’cause she’s so darn cute! Lately she’s rocking this white Leeke wig with white kitty ears, and a sexy-cute Volks outfit. Meow! She has a custom faceup and hand-made resin eyes.
