I couldn't wait to go home last night. I wanted to complete the hair plugs for my new doll Haiku. She stands next to Skipper in the above comparison photo. She is a hybrid doll. She used to be a Kelly clone wearing the blue cheongsam (below). For her body I used a Juku Couture doll.
Ever since I got the Juku Couture doll, I removed her head and tried on some Kelly heads. It didn't look okay for me so the body remained headless while I hunted for an appropriately sized head. I was looking for weeks, especially on eBay.
The funny thing is I already had the Kelly clone for about a year now and I never tried her. I only looked for her to get her blue dress (for the photo in the previous blog entry). When I got her, I figured there's no harm trying her head on the Juku body. I thought initially it was too big so I wanted to shrink it a little but just a little. I'm a bit hesitant in shrinking as per my experience, I have a 50-50 chance of success. But now, I don't think I have to shrink her head. I do have to adjust the skin tone of Haiku's head as it is too pale for her body.
So now that I'm head-swapping across age brackets, I decided to try Tyra (that's what I call her) on a BFC Calista body. She looks okay but her head size might work better on a Stacie size body. Stacie's head I think could work better on a taller body.
My next concern now is Haiku's dress size. I might not have that much time sewing so buying is an option. I want to know which ones I can buy. I found out that Stacie's clothes fit Haiku! Stacie's friend (in the 1st pic abaove) is actually wearing a Juku Couture dress. I think some Bratz dolls fashion also can work with Haiku, Stacie and Stacie's friends.
Now I'm looking at my Kelly size dolls and thinking which one I could turn into an Asian boy...
=D
