Jul. 18th, 2007 04:36 pmI TOOK OPHELIA APART, AND I'M NOT SURE WHICH LEG IS WHICH!!!!!
XD whoops?
XD whoops?
These boots are made for walking
Jun. 12th, 2007 12:41 pmI think she's nearing completion.
The boots were surprisingly easy to put on her (thank You, Jesus!) once I worked out how the funny little separate knee things went on. And I got her headcap off by cutting the little piece of elastic that it had been tied to the ring with. Being able to tug on her elastics helped much with the changing. Then I just tied them in a knot and hot glued her headcap back on.
The clothes seem to me what a cat might like. Simple and not too much so as to prevent overheating with the fur. And the colours? I have no idea, but they fit her, I think.
The next step? Perhaps taking her tail off her default dress and fixing it to her butt somehow. We'll see.

This morning I decided to hot glue suede Ophelia and switch one of her hands to a fist.
Well, I couldn't get the other hand on. Not having fishline, I was trying three strands of embroidery cotton. No dice. It looks like I'm going to have to go out and buy a whole spool of fishline if I want to put a hand back on her.
She holds her head better now, but even with the glue her legs are still difficult. And I can see that the glue will probably need pretty frequent reapplication.
*Sigh* I'm starting to think that she's too much doll for me. :(
But I WANT her. She's named for my kitty that died.
Jesus, I don't know what to do. Hobbies aren't supposed to cause stress.

The mail lady called bright and early this morning.
She's a kicky, squirmy little thing. But she meets my minimum criterion of being able to sit up and stand on her own. Her legs are wired, but she still twitches and suchlike. I'm not sure if it's safe to have her clothes on her before she gets coated with Dullcoat, and I'm looking at how she's put together and trying to think if I would be able to coat her without taking her apart. Because with those tiny fishline loops on her hands n feet I'm not sure I could get her back together. Her head I'm a little more confident about... but I'm trying to just approach her slowly so that I don't get overwhelmed like I did with that big Obitsu that I had.
Erm, am I a grouch if I admit that I don't really see what all the fuss is about? Don't get me wrong, she's beautiful and tiny and I like her muchly- muchly, but BJD still don't hit me as the ultimate doll.
LOL, but I can so see her becoming the family cat. She's the right size in relation to everyone else and all that. So the cat walks upright and wears clothes, so do a lot of teddy bears.
I don't know if I'm going to paint her at all. The cat I loved was white on hot days. This one is tentatively named after her for now. Feely-cat.
Wow, now I find that I miss Ophelia.
