Akiko - Luts Delf Christmas Event 2005 1/24

Yay, it's finally December. As a first Advent calendar doll I'm introducing Akiko. She's been with me since September 2006. She's a lovely girl, I really liked the shape of the eyes - as well as so many others - the sculpt of Juri 05 is super charming. I bought this girl from Den of Angels from someone whose nick was then Staci. She had the face up made by this artist and tough I really liked it the lips were worn and I wanted to refresh the look so I asked my friend Jesmo to make another one similar to the original one. Like most of my older dolls Akiko would need a fresh look on her as well as good new elastics and cleaning. This outfit is from Luts too I think, it was bought second hand soon after I received her and it's been her favourite for long time. The absolutely amazing wool socks are made by Letizia. Akiko got them as a gift when I had my 10 year doll hobby anniversary meet. Akiko had longer black Monique Gold wig earlier but I changed it to this natural black from same manufacturer few years back. Her eyes are from Enchanted Doll Eyes, size 18 I think, I just can't remember the colour. Here are few photos from Akiko in the set I build for these Christmas photos. I hope they'll bring you all things ending in 'olly. I'm trying to make the best photos I can, even if the light is not on my side in this as the time of the year it is what it is. I might want a light tent or what ever those are called someday. :)
