Therefore, his legs don&#8217;t want to stay straight, which makes any balancing that I try to do with him, even with the help of a stand, nearly impossible. I need to core out some of the resin down in his calves so I can jam wire in there.<\/li>\n<li>Furthermore, he&#8217;s looking very stiff compared to Flower and Mellifer. I think I need to rewire his torso joints.<\/li>\n<li>His resin has this fascinating translucent quality that reminds me of alabaster. It also makes him hard to photograph because he instantly washes out. This is a temporary problem that will be rectified when he gets a faceup and some hair, but I still reserve the right to be annoyed.<\/li>\n<li>And his skirt is too big and needs to have its waistband adjusted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That said, I know he&#8217;ll be very nifty-looking when I do some work on him. I have ordered a 36-color Prismacolor watercolor pencil set. I&#8217;ve also ordered some longish silver grey faux fur for his wig, and I plan to do his faceup in shades of grey [possibly <a href=\"http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/tag\/50+shades+trilogy\">50 of them<\/a> :p ]. He&#8217;ll be a muted greyscale doll, a change from my usual bright palettes.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, anyway, I took a few pictures of him tonight. Not very well shown is the articulated Obitsu stand that I spent 1.5 hours putting together, only to have it fail on me because Mr. Wobbly can&#8217;t keep his legs straight so that his <em>en pointe<\/em> feets can serve as load-bearing points. &gt;:( <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/dolls\/timonium\/imbalance\/01.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/dolls\/timonium\/imbalance\/02.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/dolls\/timonium\/imbalance\/03.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">This entry was originally posted at <a href = \"http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1497045.html\">http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1497045.html<\/a>.
