What's in a name? One may ask. Well for me when it comes to customising dolls, a hell of a lot. If that name doesn't come spontaneously while creating her, she ain't 'her' yet. I ain't feeling her as I did when I imagined her so something must be missing...
When that happens, whether early or late in the process, I'll put the doll on display in eyesight from my working spot, so I can look up every so often asking myself:''Who are you? Why ain't you there yet?'' Often it will be little tweaks or additions that will get me there but sometimes it simply doesn't come. In that case the doll moves out of sight into the drawer where the dolls have no name. Waiting for that fire in my belly to ignite again, to see them for who they're supposed to be and finish them accordingly.
None of that was an issue with this little lady. Plain sailing, go with the flow on feelings as it's supposed to be. So it didn't take long for my 'Darling Nikki' to be born. With the original Shadow High doll being a personal favorite mold of mine and 'for the love of Prince' everything fell in place as it was supposed to be. Very good feels allover and more than happy to present her to you.
Her hair will be tidied up and she'll be getting her photoshoot (sounds fancy coming from a crap photographer LOL) today. She will be listed/available for purchase here once that's done. For now a few snaps taken on my desk yesterday after finishing her up.
Keeping things B&W with a Mellow filter for now....
