Sofi Kinsbury
May. 7th, 2024 10:36 amI mentioned before that my current Wren doll isn't cutting it for me; her proportions are off and don't match Katie/Tyler/Aidan/etc. and it's bugging the ever-loving CRAP out of me, especially since I got Katie (serves me right for going cheap and buying the body and head separately) so I'm going to redo Wren with a different doll and use my current!Wren as... a new, unrelated character!
To that end, today I am going out to buy some dye to attempt to dye her wig, and I have ordered some clothes for her off AliExpress that should be here in the next 2-3 weeks. Her eyes might have to stay blue because it was a BITCH to get them to stay in to begin with so I fucking GLUED them (regretting my life choices right now), but at least I got her glasses off (also glued in place), though now I need to order new glasses for Wren when the time comes because they got destroyed in the process. At least they were cheap.
Anyway, I'm actually glad I did all this with this doll and not actual, expensive!Wren because it turns out the sweater I had her in? Yeah. Totally dyed her "skin" in patches all over her upper body, it looks like mould or bruises. I'm going to take a magic eraser to them and see what I can do because right now they look TERRIBLE, and I'm going to wash the sweater with salt and see if that doesn't set the color? I've never had this happen with doll clothes before, and right now I'm a little annoyed with the company I bought it from (PABAdoll) but there isn't much that can be done about it at this point, really.
I really want that sweater for Wren, too, dammit. That's a Wren!sweater. =/
So New-Old doll is going to be named Sofi Kinsbury and I don't know if she's going to fit into one of my universes (probably not TKA for once) or just be a stand-alone character, but she's going to have green (possibly aquamarine depending on how the dye takes to the blonde wig) hair and HOPEFULLY green eyes, but possibly blue because I might not be able to get the blue ones OUT. =/
So far I've got her stripped to her skivvies (including removing her glasses), bald, and with her headcap taken off so I can (hopefully) figure out a way to remove her eyes. Maybe acetone? idek.
Will update with progress later. :D
