My Limhwa Lily arrived today! I've loved Limhwa dolls for a very long time, so finally ordered one last Monday, from the Junkeyspot, the only US distributor. They didn't have any blank ones in stock, so I purchased one with a face up.
Limhwa is a one-woman operation. Artist Ji-Youn Jung sculpts the dolls and casts them herself. My Lily reminds me of my Narae, which isn't all that surprising, since Ji-Youn Jung studied under Bimong, who created the Naraes.
Lily is MSD size, and stands about 43 cm tall. She came with both flat and high-heel feet, as well as some blank resin high-heel shoes. She's a very pale 'normal' resin, and has very light eyebrows, so will need light hair. I ordered a pair of lovely light blue eyes, but they still seem a bit too dark.

I'm not sure if it's the eye colour, or the size of the iris. I lightened her eyes in Photoshop
in the next picture, and love how they look, but don't want to do that for every photo.
Maybe I should try a size smaller.

She has absolutely nothing to wear, so i wrapped her in some ivory lace. I was thinking something Fantasy Medieval.
She's also going to need her body blushed - especially those lovely, expressive hands.
Lily has quite some range of motion, but her body seems a bit loose, and nowhere near the sturdiness of an Iplehouse doll. Not sure if she needs tighter stringing, sueding, or wiring. Or I just need to learn how to work with her.
