Two Different Worlds...

”I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
all they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right”

         If you were really in to this anime, you would probably know it right away what the movie is… Now I feel better about good news I just got this morning. A few weeks ago, I wrote to a company in the US, asking about a special porcelain color slip. I will not be able to start and then continue this blog if the company cannot ship me the specific slip for my working project. Now I got the tracking number and I only have to wait it to reach to my home.(Hopefully, I wouldn’t have to pay an expensive tax by the customs.) Above is a rough design that is now on the making process. 
         From the picture, you will see antler moose as a particular headpiece for the main decoration. A hard thing to make this headpiece is a very well balance with the proper weight and good deign when it’s on the doll’s head. I choose many tiny beads in many colors as red, golden, blue, and some gemstones to make them look so harmony with the costumes. For this character, there will be 2 costume designs, beadings cape and beading short dress. The pictures attached below are the outer cape. Can you see their colors? It’s very fun to mix and match and choose some materials for a beautiful composition of the costume.
Here's the front look
and at the back
         There would be so many weeks to finish the whole things. As the new head is being sculpted, I’m searching more refs. to get more ideas of making doll and complete costumes. As I got a week for a short rest after sending Adriana to the doll owners, now it’s time to continue making doll again. Yes, a perfect time to move on.
Please note: As this character is based on a true story, I would modify and make some adaptations into my own doll making style. Everything may not be a hundred percent correct to the historical references, but please understand a combination between imagination and inspiration of the artist’s point of view. Thank you very much here. Hugs/Nune
