Base Doll: an EBL, I forget which one exactly 

Work Done:
+extensive carving of lip, philtrum, and nose area. Made nose slightly larger with epoxy putty. Original ears removed. Teeth added. 
+3D printed magnetic ears, 3D model made by my husband based on my design. I then sand, paint and blush them. 4 piercings on each ear, 1 pair of earrings are removable.
+Base paint job using SEM Bluebird brown, this is a paint that sprays on very smooth, and is flexible (good for the soft obitsu body) 
+Face-up and eyelids done using high quality artist pastels, watercolor pencils, and acrylics. Back-plate signed. Sealed w/ MSC uv-cut matte, and added semi-gloss finish
+4 new sets of eyechips (3 puppelina glass eyechips, 1 sculpted with gold leaf applied, with glass eyechip top)
+Gaze altered
+new brown eyelashes
+new beaded pull strings and charms, with sleepy eyes. 
+Obitsu 24cm body, neck stabilized, it can still pose but is less floppy. Pure Neemo hands modded to fit the Obitsu body.

+Handmade wig using undyed wool locks. This fiber is somewhat delicate, so care needs to be taken when styling. Some shedding will happen, but there is plenty of hair to make up for it. 
Made with a strong, flexible, water-resistant glue- it can be washed in lukewarm water if needed, although spot-cleaning would be ideal. It is attached to the doll with water-soluble glue in case it needs to be removed- although not intended to be removed. Glue residue can be gently washed off with a bit of diluted dish-soap and water (in the event of wig removal). It is over the original scalp, which I have removed the hair from.

Flaws and Notes:
+General disclaimer- small imperfections due to handmade nature. Please do not buy expecting a 100% perfect item. These are the flaws I have noticed: has some chips in the paint at joints. Small scratch on one ear from putting in the piercing, barely noticeable. See last photo.
+I have processed the photos to look as accurate to real life as I could on my laptop, which is supposed to be color accurate. Photos may show differently based on monitor settings on different devices- such as being too saturated on a smart phone. 
+she will come with items shown: dress, pants, necklace, and 5 pairs of Pure Neemo hands. Random stand.
