Recently I've found myself going like a banshee after some old babies of mine... changing, fixing, re-reborning, you name it.
I seem to find it relaxing... and indeed, taking an old doll I haven't touched in ages, a doll who is often in completely unsellable conditions anyways, and giving it a complete makeover, IS relaxing.
I don't need to fret, I don't need to think too much about how people (and potential buyers) will react to it.
I don't even need to finish it in a timely manner.
This baby was my first OOAK and her name is Astrid. I remember falling head over heels for Astrid's peaceful, abandoned expression in only 8 inches.
Unfortunately, Astrid developed a crack on the side of her head, which reappeared even after the artist very nicely fixed her free of charge.
I didn't feel like bothering the artist again, after years. She would likely sculpt me a whole new head, and it wouldn't be Astrid anymore. Also, I felt the artist had fulfilled her committment fixing Astrid the first time.
So I started messing with her. ;)
This is the new Astrid, fully reborned and with a modified body. I may give her a whole new body later, but for now she needs clothing! I'm off to mess with my fabric scraps and knitting needles now.
