So.... the suspense may be killing you....

I was so enthralled.... almost didn't get a chance to post this.....  She arrived yesterday.  May I say I'm very pleasantly surprised.  The faceup on this doll is amazing.  A testament to the artist.

Her name is Adriana, her artist's name is Nune.  I had followed Nune's work on another Forum.  He has certainly outdone himself.

Here's a tiny peek.  I wanted another stop motion animation to welcome her, but it was not to be.  I do have a box opening video though...  I'll have to edit it and post it with some music to youtube ;)

I need to take better photos (in daylight)  All I have is my crappy camera and it's late at night.

It arrived earlier today from Thailand via FedEx!

I opened the box and saw a lot of thai writing.

Then I moved some of the newspaper and saw the stand.

It is a very elaborate silver metal stand with blue stones set in filagree work on the base.

She came with 2 wigs, but this one is by far my favorite as it is very unique and has a Jean Paul Gautier or maybe even Alexander McQueen like quality to it.

The eyes on this doll are amazing.  I did not capture that in this photo.  The wig is made of feathers!

She is porcelain, ball jointed, strung with springs and approximately 13.5" tall which makes her a bit of hybrid.  She's not quite 1/6 or 1/4 scale.  The good news is there is a doll out that is 13" and is commercially available so I'm hoping her clothes will fit.  Mostly I will be making her clothes.  I wanted to use this doll to make elaborate pageant type dresses for, but as I see her, I'm not "feeling it"....  I can imagine gowns but not really couture....  I'll definitely have more of her for you to see (Agnes is getting jealous though).
