I had planned for a break from bringing any more resin home this year, but I might as well forget about it. It never lasts no matter how good my intentions are, I always fail.

Yeah.

So, my upcoming project, another to the heap, is bringing Hiro (Big Hero 6) to 'life' in resin. Crazy obsessed with the movie, even considering looking around for a sculpt suitable to be his brother. Anyway, the sculpt in mind to get home to be Hiro is this loverly guy from SoulDoll, Hunoi. Had considered one from SpiritDoll (Pyrus) but he looked much too young. 


I'll be getting a wig from Monique for him and ED eyes as Mako doesn't have any dark brown eyes suitable for him. The clothing is a pain in the ass to find anywhere, would love to sew myself but I've got so little time because of my job that it'd be nice if one could find it all somewhere. No one makes 3/4 cargo trousers it seems, you can't find a red t-shirt anywhere, and even the blue hoodie with a zipper down the front is some of a feat having to find. Guess I will have to sew it all if I want any of it even if that is going to take a while. Even went so far as to make a list of clothing you see him wearing throughout the movie and he'll get to have all of it in his wardrobe. Don't think I'll be able to find brown sneakers like his, so will have to make do with something that comes as a close second to the ones in the movie. At least he won't be home for quite some months to come so that's always something, gives me plenty of time to browse around :)

Talking of sewing, I got annoyed at the crinoline I had finished up on. The fabric for the piping is really all too stretchy and is messing things up. Going to redo the piping now that I have proper cotton fabric for it, and this time I will be using some sort of mannequin to build it up on to have it be as close to perfect as can be. Have in mind using plastic boning for the top 4 half hoops, will make it easier to work with as steel boning is quite a pain when you have to tie a bow. I don't exactly know when I will finish up on it, nor do I know anything of when the entire dress will come together for the big day, but at least it isn't something wildly important with a deadline and everything. All in good time, as they say.

Jack Frost (DollFamily-A Wen) should also soon be on his way here and going to have to slowly work my way through sewing him his clothing. Have drafts for the patterns for both his hoodie and trousers down, it's all about fitting them to his petite body. Glad it's all relatively simple. As soon as I've got it all down I'll most definitely be shooting a picture of him and Pitch together as he, too, will finally have some proper clothing. Think I will make them some crowns of the quartz crystal points I've got. Might have to buy some silver wire to bind it all together with as I can't remember if I've got some or where I've put it if I do happen to have some somewhere. I'll figure it out when the time comes.
