pine island projects

Like I said when I posted the first picture of her with her new wig (before her new eyes arrived),

Kohaku had pink hair and mauve eyes because that's how she was styled in the listing… but the other day, I thought, I'd always wanted a doll with red hair and green eyes like Anne of Green Gables. since I don't "shell" existing characters, there was no reason not to give it a try for Kohaku.

she looks like she cut her own bangs but it's cute! maybe she's the kind of girl who cuts her own bangs. I like letting my dolls' characters evolve through playing with them like this. (I wrote a whole 7,000 word paper about it.)

A draft of that paper is available to read for free online but I will probably not update that document any more so that when I (someday, hopefully) start submitting it, it's still "previously unpublished."

…oh, and: I finally figured out masking in Lightroom Mobile and now I'm unstoppable.
