spent about 2+ hours to style grell's wig because i didn't have a proper stand so it keeps falling over. sighs...



and i got the specs but it's not the exact same shape. arrghhh whatever, because the shape changes in different pictures too. bleahs!



redid the vest because the bottom is supposed to be a straight edge.

my little brown extension that i ordered from taobao arrived, but i didn't use it because it wasn't very brown at all. instead i used one of the existing browner extensions i owned and sewed it on the doll.

i shall cut the hair later. it kinda creeps me out now though. hmmm... maybe she wants to keep the hair long...? don't know why i'm reminded of dong li huo che when i see her...

for the chain on grell's specs... was beading them together while watching kaichou wa maido sama. now i just need to wait for my earphones to spoil... then i can put the skulls in. and where to find the funny shaped glasses he has?!

i'm seriously in love with this BONDO thing. it seems to work better than super glue. i think i'll classify it as the smart glue category. it's kinda like white glue when you apply - you have some time to make adjustment until it dries and turn transparent. that's when it starts to really stick and harden!!!

plus it's not as messy as uhu glue, doesn't bulge and leave webbed traces, and doesn't leak when you leave it alone (mine always leak, don't ask me why). it's also cheaper!! i had an easier time sticking the red strips onto my white ribbon base!



yes it's that yellow bottle you see in the picture. sorry my iphone camera sucks.

finished the base of the doll. looks very voodoo. don't you just love his/her pose? maybe i should name it... Ling (spirit/zero in chinese) might be appropriate for it...



and sewed on pockets for grell's coat. yay. used my own pocket sewing method and underestimated the width. darn. oh well, not like it's gonna be obvious...



bought this wig for grell too



hopefully these skulls would work as well...

recent completions which i've yet uploaded... finally bought the satin bias tape to finish the black borders...



and a big ribbon for the back of the coat! maybe i'll just pin it on... zzz lazy!

templates all cut out...



and sewed on!



i only bought like 2 packets of the bias tape so in the end i didn't have enough. continue again when i buy it today...

at least i managed to finish my vest!



it is reversible!!! here's the brown side



and here's the black side. i used the back of the satin i had leftover from pandora to do it. at first it was just supposed to be lining for the vest, then i thought what the heck, i need a black vest anyway so might as well do a reversible one. hohoho! i'm so proud of this one though it looks slightly imbalanced when worn, but that could be solved with a few pins ><



but my sister just laughed at my poor sewing job. wah kaooooos.... T.T

character i'm gonna be doing for shoot.. ta-da!



yes smexxxyyyy i'll be doing the doll chainsaw is a waste of my space at home..
