I ordered some 1/4 Dollzone hands for my Resinsoul Ya, I’m making this thread to talk about it. The hands I ordered were in normal and my Ya (Lyre) is in dark tan. So I’ll also show the results of dying these hands. -Will these hands fit? -Will they dye well? -Will they look ok? Questions I hope to answer. The hands are out for delivery and I will be able to get them once I get home. Will update this thread once I have them.
Ok! The hands arrived safely. They are dollzone 1/4 hands in normal. They fit on my Resinsoul girl and getting those hands on was the hardest part of the process. I used my old dye mixture which I realized was a mistake. My old dye mix was the right color and had dishsoap, vinegar, water, and dye but it was tap water. I live in an area where there’s a lot of chlorine in the tap water. So if you’re going to dye BJD parts and have similar chlorine-filled water, use filtered water. So I dyed the hands and they are very warm toned, compared to ResinSoul’s cooler toned dark tan. But the dye had great coverage and is only a little splotchy. Lyre wears long sleeves so her slightly different hands aren’t too bad. She looks great. This was a success. You can -put dollzone hands on a Resinsoul body -Dye them (light to dark) -They look ok
Congratulations on a successful project! I find that hands in real life are often slightly darker than the rest of the skin anyway, so having slightly darker hands than arms is pretty natural. And especially if she wears sleeves I imagine the effect would be quite seamless.
