Might As Well Meet Clara.

I give up. Heeeeerrre's the Obitsu #4 doll I painted last week. I was going to make her an outfit before I posted her but my printer/copier/scanner has woefully died and I couldn't photocopy the dress pattern I wanted. I will report back later!

Here she is, her name is Clara. She has a prerooted blue Obitsu #4 head. I usually root my dolls myself but I needed the plastic sleeve that came with the prerooted head for boil-perming. Let's not look down on Clara for being a quick project! ^o^;

That's an Azone Fairies of Darkness dress she's wearing. When I sew for her I'm going to give her something with long sleeves. I hope to do something about my copier soon!

On the gaming front, I'm still messing around Ketelburk in TOA. I have 135,000 gald at this point and Jade (the only one I care about because he's the one I'm controlling) is at level 45. I don't know about anyone else but I can't feel like I'm fully immersed in a game until I take some time off from the main storyline to power-level. This probably dates back to when I first played Final Fantasy IV (as FF2 Easy-type) when I was in junior high and had to level up my party for days in order to be able to beat that Evil Wall in the Sealed Cave. I think a lot of the old Super Nintendo RPGs were like that. =_=

Oh ho ho, I saw the trailer for Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria and that really is Lezard in there! :D I guess that will be the next game I obsess over but who knows when it will come out?

Here's to hoping it isn't as bug-riddled as the original VP.

Thank you ^_^! I love the idea of dressing her in silver or something similar. I'm so annoyed about what happened to my 3-in-1 printer; I was going to use it to copy a dress pattern and I found out that the adapter cable in the back had split and it doesn't work any more. I'm wondering if someone in my household stepped on it...I've been trying to find a replacement but the printer has been discontinued and so have the accessories.

I used to use a lot of prerooted heads before Volks switched to a cheaper vinyl that doesn't match the bodies' skin tone. Obitsu doesn't do a bad job with their prerooted heads but I still like rooting the heads myself because I like mixing different hair colors. ^_^ Blue is my favorite color, though, and I couldn't resist! As far as Jenny dolls go, I find I like dark brown hair the best, though.

I tried ordering the cable from Amazon.com and I'll see if it actually comes in. ;_;

I've been customizing Volks dolls since 2000 but I collected a lot of Takara Jenny dolls before then. Some people sell off their collection once they move onto customizing but I could never do that. Those dolls are my first loves and I still love them! One of my favorites is Miss Jenny #1 because I adore Jenny 18 and her dark brown hair and eyes are so pretty! (even though her outfit stains) The one I never was able to find was the dark-haired green eyed Excelina. I can't remember if she was a Kiddyland or Noix de Rome exclusive.
