Ilari

Face-up artist(s):

April Story

Date of acquisition:

July 9, 2016

Provenance:

Purchased from April Story

Reason for choice:

He has a gorgeous face with just a hint of a smirk, and the factory face-up included freckles, which I thought was a nice touch.

Best Points:

Obviously his face, but those HANDS.

Worst Points:

He came very floppy, and the body is strung weird with a hole that goes through the center of the crotch.

I restrung him, ignoring the crotch hole and using the standard double loop. He stands better and can actually sit up. However, he could probably do with some sueding in his shoulders and hips to really get good posing. Considering tying a piece of string to the elastic and putting it through the crotch hole though, because his legs tend to twist without the elastic going through there.

I sueded and wired him and he poses much better, but he still won't stand on his own for very long. May need to replace the elastic at this point.

Eyes:

14mm Alice's Collections

Wig:

acrylic yarn, made by me

Fashion style(s):

Colorful, fun, flamboyant; a modern, more affordable Liberace, if you will
