It's a doll! And a flower!

It's a Takara Color Change Kira that Kristen rerooted for me with Dollyhair Saran in Mint Ice. ^0^

I've never been a huge fan of Licca dolls, with their big tomato-like heads. I've always thought that Kira was the cutest one, though. The only one I owned was the 1999 Color Change doll with the long, grass green thermal color-change hair. Which in addition to looking kind of creepy, also didn't really change color that much. I think that Kristen did a really nice job rerooting this doll. From my experience with rerooting my Limited Edition Aya with a topknot, this is not a fun hairstyle at all.

I'm going to have to find some hair ribbons for this girl.

I sewed that dress a year ago (or maybe two) for a Pure Neemo doll. I'm pretty sure I used a Licca pattern. No wonder it fits better on the Licca body...

I'm glad we found a use for the Mint Ice saran. It's a lovely color but it doesn't suit Ex Cute or Volks dolls' skin tone at all.
