I can’t express how excited I am to have Pearl! She has one of the most beautiful sculpts Since she’s from 2009, I was expecting some yellowing. Her chest is VERY yellow however, as she was wearing a low cut shirt for a long time. She’s covered in marks and stains, and has a heap of dust. I’ll be taking her apart to clean and try a magic eraser to get rid of the marks. I think she may have been sitting on something for a long time, and stained the back of her legs. My plan is to re-string her as she’s very loose, she’s getting a new face-up, and get rid of the stains. She’ll be like new!!
I would love to see how she's going to turn out eventually. Old doll progress is always very satisfying!
I’ll definitely be posting my progress with cleaning her up! Just waiting on the supplies to arrive. And absolutely! I love seeing them get fixed up and look all fresh
I actually got her from a friend who was moving! They used to live in Japan and got her some years ago while there. Always felt envious of anyone who could attend Dollpa Thank you!! I honestly can’t wait to see how she will finally look, and maybe a name will come to me once she’s all finished
Thank you!! I was even more blown away by her face sculpt in person. I feel like pictures rarely do dolls justice. I'll be starting posting her progress soon, as her new strings and s-hooks are almost here!
