Thanks, banma! Sculpted for Volks SD17\/SD13 boys, this is a single-jointed arm just begging to be painted with metallic accents.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/dolls\/lura\/parts\/IMG_9361.JPG\" title=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I don&#39;t want to use Luna&#39;s default 16mm eyes for Lura; I think they will make her look too young. She will have one organic eye. I have 2 choices for it. One possibility is one of these 14mm Volks metallic Dollfie eyes. Thanks, Andrea! It&#39;s really hard to see the color because the porch railing, on which I&#39;m leaning, has red undertones, as does my skin. :p However, they are a pale pearlescent pink.<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/dolls\/lura\/parts\/IMG_9372.JPG\" title=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My other option for Lura&#39;s organic eye is a Soom 14mm eye with pale pink iris and lilac pupil. Thanks, OctoberAnna! August, my BuddyDoll April winking, shows off the other one.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/dolls\/meetups\/081112\/aug\/IMG_9213.JPG\" title=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m not sure what I want to do for a wig. I&#39;m definitely keeping the light, iridescent, ethereal palette, though. I hopped on this one in a trade, though, because, as you may be able to tell, I have a thing for pink. *cough* This is a shoulder-length bob with bangs [thanks, Andrea!], but I wonder if it will allow enough of Lura&#39;s wingy ears to show.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/dolls\/lura\/parts\/IMG_9373.JPG\" title=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of wingy ears, I have purchased a pound of Aves Apoxie Sculpt to create them. I can&#39;t wait till her head gets here!<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/dolls\/lura\/parts\/IMG_9360.JPG\" title=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In terms of things I do not have illustrations for, I have made 2 decisions. First, I collected some owner pictures of Soom Amphibel&#39;s wingy ears. Thanks, Cap&#39;nH! I have decided to model Lura&#39;s wingy ears after Amphibel&#39;s, which are surprisingly high and broad. Soom Clozel&#39;s wingy ears just don&#39;t look that exciting to me.<\/p>\n<p>Second, I decided <i>not<\/i> to put Lura on an Iplehouse EID woman body. vermont chick brought her Iplehouse EID Soo to meetup yesterday, where I put the body through its paces, meaning that I poked at it lightly, and it fell over. :\/ No matter how much I love the voluminous boobs on the EID woman body, I will not drop that much money on a body that cannot sit solidly without back support. I&#39;m also not enamored of the gappy, unattractive knee joints. Worst of all, the elbow joints require lots of pulling and shoving to get the &quot;peanut&quot; out of the upper arm so that the arm can bend more than 90 degrees. Too much work! No thanks! Well, thanks to vermont chick for supplying experimentation fodder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have acquired a pair of Soom Galena lower legs and talons in grey resin.
