A blustery day for doll photographs

[elaby]

I can't believe I haven't posted any pictures of my ball-jointed doll yet! I finally got hair for her (two different wigs!) and made a skirt and a shirt for her. Rachel got the socks for me off Etsy. They're so cute!

Fort Foster had gorgeous settings and even though it was freezing, the light was nice for photography.




I got two wigs from www.leekeworld.com and I'm super happy with them. The first one is the one I thought was perfect, and I do like it a lot, but the dark grey one is my favorite. I think it suits her better. Here are some of the ones I took with the green wig.







Then I switched to the grey wig :)













When we were walking back from the beach, we saw a fallen tree trunk that had been turned into driftwood. It was so pretty and twisty and cool that we had to take pictures on it :3











Hee, the sun came out right behind her as I was taking this one, and it came out looking a bit, er, sinister XD But I really like the effect.



We had a great time ^_^ I love this hobby!

So cute! So pretty! So creepy! Ha, I guess I have a bit of a doll phobia. I like her elf-ears though.

Thanks! I don't think she's creepy XD But I'm glad you like her ears. The dollmaker I bought her from had the same face sculpt with human ears, but it made her look totally different.

The wigs change her personality to a remarkable degree. The grey wigged doll is clearly the evil twin of the green wigged doll.

They do, don't they? She looks so sweet and fairy-like with the green wig, and she totally looks more grown up and a little scarier in the grey one XD

I think she's beautiful, and I like both of the wigs. The green one makes her look like a fairy, or an anime-type elf; and the grey one makes her look like a Tolkien elf.

I really like the locations and the poses ... you did a great job. These look quite professional!

Oh, and I love her clothes, and her socks!

Have you named her yet? She MUST have a name!

n_________n Thank you! I think the grey wig is more in tune with her personality (whatever that is?) and the green wig is super cute, but good for different occasions/looks. I love that you think she looks like a Tolkien elf :3

Thank you, I had such a fun time taking the pictures. I'm pretty pleased with them. And her skirt! That was attempt #2, and it only has two layers as opposed to the first, which has three. Because we only had enough fabric for two XD

I definitely need to name her :3

With that setting, she could star in her own Bronte drama (especially if she wears the shawl). :D

Haha, yes! I KNEW there was a reason I wanted to give her a Regency/early Victortian-era name XD

Pretty! Both of those wigs are adorable. :)

Thank you! I like them both too :)
