Introducing Eden

Yvette's boyfriend arrived on Halloween. He's an Iplehouse FID Edan, in Special Real skin, with Makeup B. I was a bit surprised, since I had asked them not to add the four big dark moles, which they agreed to, but it looked like they had left off all his lighter freckles as well. His face had an unusual shine to it, that none of my other dolls have. At first I hoped was from the cold, but it hasn't faded. It makes him look hot and sweaty. I'm told a new coat of matte sealer should fix it, but I have no idea if the spray available here is even compatible with whatever IH uses.

He needed a wig, so I gave him Lawrence's wig for the time being. It was the only guy's wig I had his size, so there was no choice.

Anyways, He needed something to wear, and I did't have a lot of selection. Just a tuxedo, and Rex's Outlander outfit. So it would depend on what outfit Yvette looked nicest in, since I had something that would go with either option. She looked best in the gown originally made for Rosie. Which meant 'formal' wear for Edan as well. But he looked wrong in the tux, so went with something a little more casual.

And since he arrived the day before Halloween, and I had tiny carved pumpkins sitting around from an earlier photo shoot, I thought I'd take some photos of him with Yvette....

She's obviously already cast her spell on him....

They could both use some blushing and manicures (everyone who arrived this year could) but it's not been possible to get any of my dolls worked on yet this year...

A Wig for Eden

I bought all my mohair years ago at local doll shows, from a woman who raised her own Angora goats, and sold their hair for doll wigs. She would dye the mohair locks and put the names of the goats it came from on the packages. I looked through my stash of mohair, and the one that suited Eden best was the same dark brown Rex's wig was made from. Well, the goat Rex's mohair came from was named Eden. So I took that as confirmation, and started sewing the strips for Eden's wig.

Making wigs has never been on my top hundred favourite things to do, but I had no choice, so plowed ahead. After glueing, wetting, combing, and a lot of trimming, I thought he looked pretty good. I borrowed Prince Adrian's hooded collar just for some pictures...
