I figured instead of me creating threads for every little thing I do, I'd have my own dedicated drop-all thread where I can randomly add updates and such. Hope its OK?
Sugar Apple came with Mimic weeks ago, she was in the light box trying to fade some pink highlighters. It faded, but not all gone on her lips. The others faded to where I can't see it. I decided to give her a break from the box, and I am eager to get her on the shelf already. Her hair was matted, I had to give her a good condition, and straighten with a straightening iron, then I curled. I made the curls too tight, I hope it'll loosen and fall over time. I ran out of bobby pins to curl the past part of her hair, but I am thinking maybe I'll leave it straight, it's cute.
Buzzer was cheap. One wing was bent. A little heat from a blow dryer and tucked it behind her ear should fix it. She was also frizzy and matted. A portion of her tail seemed to have melted, it came out in chunks when brushing. But thankfully curling hid the flaws nicely!
** QUESTION FOR THOSE THAT CURLS HAIR ** @Tak maybe?
The part closest to the body, I don't like how the curls pop out. Is there a trick to making it look more natural? You can see on top of Candy Apple's head and her tail that it just looks... fake.. for lack of better terms. I want to try to get it to sit nicer. I somehow succeeded on Buzzer, its the look I want, but I used the same methods on both. I'm confused lol

Honestly Sugar Apples curls may relax with time to look more natural. When I curl my ponies and dolls hair it usually relaxes a bit. Did you curl her hair overnight or set it with hot water? I dont usually set my ponies hair in hot water so im not sure how relaxed it will get.
So i crocheted one lol! I posted all the pics in this thread! I should post more soon!
