She started as a blank face, body parts and elastic. She was a Volks MSD - Muy face, bought from the Volks store in Akihabara, 2008.
I first became interested in ball jointed dolls when I read Aimee Major's book about her visit to Japan. When I did some more research on them I thought they were very beautiful. When I went to Japan on holiday with Rhys and Dan I was determined to buy one and I did!
But she sat in pieces, without a face for a long while. Then by luck I found out that my good friend Mel was into them too, and better yet, she did face-ups! It wasn't long before she was painted and put together. Now she's beautiful Penelope.
I've sewn one outfit for her. I no longer thing of this as her underwear because it's pretty enough to be an outfit.
