I picked up my Asa with her newly-blushed SID body yesterday. I almost forgot just how beautiful she is, as she's been gone quite some time, and before that she was just a "floating head". The SID body seems to pose so much better than the slightly larger EID body she was sharing with Carina. I have no spare costumes for her to wear, and no time right now to make her anything, so for now she'll just have to wait in one of the robes I made specially to modestly cover dolls waiting for something special of their own. I really love the Iplehouse girls with the Asian features. I'm thinking eventually I'd like to make this Asa a "Pocahontas" costume. Not the expected native Indian, but in all her Elizabethan finery when she travelled with her husband John to England, and was presented in high society as the Lady Rebecca Rolfe. I've always loved Elizabethan fashion, and this would be the perfect opportunity to make an Elizabethan character who is not the Queen herself. Another idea is "Queen of the Night". I made an art doll several years ago with the most fabulous dark blue fantasy Rococo gown, that would also look stunning on a BJD.

I so agree Martha once she was restrung she is a wonderful posser and stands allow so incredibly well. After working with your implhouse girls I am so tempted to get myself a JID girl Amy has stolen my heart and I think she would be a wonderful sister for Alexia in normal skin

Yes, this girl is going to be into jewelry in a big way. Either that or high necklines. But then, how many people really have flawless skin? If her "birthmarks" stand out too much there's always PhotoShop. Comments are closed.
