    • Na-Nu-Ri Has Arrived

    By Tasia Chiba | March 27, 2012 at 9:13 pm | Leave a comment

    So, the head came in yesterday.  The mail was running late and I was bouncing all around waiting for it.  Packaging was great and the seller added in one of her super cute paper doll booklets.  Much love~  Na-Nu-Ri was in great shape!  Better than even I was expecting, although a bit dirty (glitter in the head cap joints? weird glue like substance in the eye well?), but no where near as much as I have seen before and still exactly as advertised.  The face-up has weathered the years mighty well, but, sadly, it’s definitely gonna go.  My mother agrees… those eyebrows have GOT to go! Oi!  We keep expecting them to take flight and go stab someone!  But never fear.  I will be taking very good photos of the default face-up before it’s gone.  Especially considering I haven’t really found a lot of owner pictures with the default face-up.

    He’s also a very creamy color, but I can see a tinge of green in the right light… so I suppose one day he will end up as a true Beauty Green.  Not a problem in my book.  It’s probably been staved off due to being hidden away?  Dunno.

    Too early to know what name he shall have, but I think I’m going for a fae in character to fit in with the Essence of Dust story arc.  Which means he’ll probably be sticking around.  One thing I have to definitely say about this model:  it looks SO much better in person!  Seems most people give him the standard 18mm eyes from what pictures I’ve seen, and an occasional 16mm appears every so often.  I put Timir’s and Rem’s 14mms in, though, and aside from a bit of gaping at the corners of the eyes, the iris size looks amazing.  I was also amazed that Rem’s lovely gray eyes looked the right color in the NNR’s head rather than his own. >_<  But it doesn’t suit that head.  Neither does the rose color of Timir’s.  It came out more brown than anything.  That default faceup works brown quite nicely, but gonna do something different with this one.  I do think I might go for a brilliant blue for the eyes.  Something a bit captivating.

    Hair color is still up in the air, though.  Rem’s temp wig is making the rounds again, however.  Been going back and forth between Rem and Timir, and now the NNR head’s been getting the treatment.  I really need some more wigs in this house. ^_~;  Will probably go buy some black faux fur this weekend.  I don’t particularly like what’s available in my area (the product quality sucks), but that’s life.  Still, it’s what Kah’z has been using from day one!  (Discounting the temporary weird icky gray one and the hot pink wig of D00M!)

    On a LOVELY note, I, of course, tried the CP Delf head on Rem’s 65cm body and… OMG… It was AWESOME!  I musts needs Sorde now!  =grabby hands=  Sorde is SO totally going on this body!  I need to extend the neck about 1/2 an inch to 3/4ths for the CP head, though, otherwise it looks a bit squat, but doing so also won’t make Rem’s head look odd, so a longer neck we shall have indeed.  It was just the gumption I needed to get back to work on the body.

    And, because I just simply couldn’t resist… a teaser pic.  (Click the picture for a larger view.)  Please excuse the random spotting due to me forgetting to clean the lense… >_<  Also, I promise the doll is white skin, even if it looks peachy here.  I have poor lighting in my room and I didn’t even touch PS to adjust for my “golden” room light.

    The eye on the left is Timir’s glass rose 14mm and the eye on the right is an acrylic 18mm that came with the head.  The 14mm looks a bit closer to a 16mm due to the high dome, but the size difference is more noticeable in person.  I like the 14mm better.

    And look-it, you can see the blushing!

    Headz-upz!

    And just like that, a head is on it’s way!  If I’d waited but a day, I could have included the new developments in the last post.  While the original head was unavailable, I found another late last night that I simply couldn’t pass up.  The seller told me today it should be shipped tomorrow, so it’s pins-and-needles time until it arrives.  It doesn’t have far to go, at least – just one state over.

    This head is a CP Delf Na-Nu-Ri 2006 event head in white skin.  [Click to View]  It will be my first white skin BJD, and even if it’s aged, I’m quite a bit excited.  It’s in very decent condition with an original default face-up.  This being so sudden, I don’t quite have a name for him yet.  Depending on how I feel about him once he’s here, I may give him the surname of Feldspar…. just because I like it.  Although, that’s very, very tentative.  That just leaves a first name.  As for that face-up, default or no that has stood the test of time (6 years), I’m pretty sure it’s gonna go.

    On a side note, I made some 1/4 sized scarves today.  Should be up on Etsy soon.

    And now…. it’s time to play the waiting game.

    Pantsuu!

    Well, the head prospect fell through as someone got to it right before me. A little sad, but that’s life. Still on the look, though! Also, haven’t taken pictures yet since I’ve been a little too busy for it, but there are some new stuffs nonetheless!

    Last week I finally sat down and made a quick sundress. It’s really adorable! The only problem I have with it is that I didn’t bother to gather the skirt before sewing it down, since I was trying to make it as fast as possible, and the gathering looks a bit mechanical instead. It also doesn’t lay down enough, for me that is, but it’s okay. At least she’s dressed with a super cute sundress with Eastery colours! I even sewed her two pairs of socks to go along with it! Haven’t finished her wig yet as I’ve mis-placed the bag with her wig material in it. >_< Looking for it and soon she’ll be ready! I cracked her upper eye lid again, forgot that when I re-built that part I didn’t bake it, so all this time I thought she was solid… she wasn’t. Put her eyes in and pressed too hard and voila, out it came! Ah well. Started the re-building process again, but made it too small and haven’t had a chance to sand it down into proper shape. Must do that before pictures. ^_~

    And lastly…. a package arrived today! I received these absolutely GORGEOUS pants from a user on DoA. They were still new and in the packaging un-opened and I was absolutely giddy as I carefully opened them! They’re for Rem, seeing as how his body is nearly finished. Well, that and the fact that I’d seen these pants and thought they were perfectly stunning, and then happened to find someone selling them in the US! I’ve been staring at them all day since they arrived. They’re a bit lighter than the company photos, but still just as nice.  Will have pictures ready for these as well once I finish up at least the entire bottom half of Rem’s body. Now, just to get that lovely GreenTime shirt I’m eyeing, and I’ll be all set for purchasing doll clothes, lol!
