Profile: Jouselle


Jouselle is my third doll.  She was inspired by my World of Warcraft character, a blood elf mage.  Like the first two, she's been through some revisions, including 3 heads total.  The first head

had eyeholes and was bald.  I was going to use bright diodes to have glowing eyes, but that didn't fit.  I also couldn't find a wig that had just the right color.  I'd also broken the neckpiece. :(  Then, I got a new plan.  I bought a new neck and a blank bald head that I would paint the face on and root the hair myself.  I found the right color rooting hair and got started right away.  A few months later, I was so irritated that the head was still half bald and the task was a pain, that I threw it out.  I settled for black and bought a pre-rooted head.  That's the one she has now.

Her ears are made out of Primo Sculpey clay and held on with E-6000 glue.  This glue is great.  It's like hot-glue without the hot part.  And I haven't lost an ear yet.

Having gone through multiple heads, her personality didn't really lock down until her final head and face-up.  She's a very regal doll.  She's proud, but not arrogant.  She's also feminine and ladylike.  Her birthday is December 25th, 2010.
