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 Everything may not be a hundred percent correct to the historical references, but please understand a combination between imagination and inspiration of the artist’s point of view.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

Taking 3 Orders of Adriana in Mermaid

         After I had released 5 Adriana for sale in Human forms, there are some letters that would like to know whether I would remake and sell Adriana in Human form again. I have to say that I cannot remake Adriana in Human forms for sale / or selling Nude Adriana separately because of some reasons. (I also talk to myself that I will never make dolls in a big number anymore. Adriana, Princess of the Sea, is the final set of 5 dolls for sale. The next collection will be only 2-3 dolls for sale. This is not a really good idea, but it’s good for me as I can spend more time to put on more details to the dolls like body brushing, more sharp facial painting, more expressive fingers and feet from mold making, doll body’s assembling and everything related to the doll making. Also, I can spend more time to concentrate on the doll costumes with more high details of the accessories and jewelry that will show a good composition when they are on the doll’s body. I believe that the best effort takes time to make.)

         The purpose of this entry is to ask for those who would like to make an order/purchase Adriana in mermaid form only. It is like a continued part after the human production. The mermaid Adriana will have tan skin, long blonde fair hair, light blue eyes, nude lips, and the fish scale is metallic silver tinsel. The fish tale is a non-removable part. It fixed on the doll’s torso that it perfectly and beautifully blended with the curve of the doll’s hip. Inside the tail, I use 2 strong wires to make the tail move a bit in some directions. The upper part of her body is just like us. I mean the doll has two hands, arms, and fingers like us all. For the accessories, I plan to make a small Tierra for the mermaid, but I haven’t decided yet about the style. The main point to make an order of the mermaid is to show the beauty of the mermaid Adriana in my own style. Please note: "This order will be very good for doll collectors who really LOVE a story of the seas and those who strongly have a passion of the mermaid."

         I accept 3 orders for the Adriana in mermaid form only. The Mermaid price is 1,250 USD. I will put the mermaid “on hold” until they are completely done. Once when the transfer is completed, I will start shipping the Adriana to the owner.
       If you would like to place an order or have any questions that you would like to know, please feel free write to immortalclassique@gmail.com 
Thank you very much for your time. 
Hugs to you all/Nune
