Mori Kei Kitty #1

A couple weeks ago, I beheaded one of those Cutie Loo figures to transplant onto a Penny's Box string-jointed doll body. This is my first hybrid doll and I'm really enjoying working on it! I'm dressing her up in a mori kei inspired style.

A cat head on a small string-jointed doll body.

The same hybrid doll wearing a floral skirt, pink shoes, and white socks.

Tonight, I finished the skirt for her. I've been working on it off and on for a little while, and I've scrapped a couple previous attempts, but I think I'm happy enough with this one. The stitching on the waistband is absolutely wretched, I know, but I was so sick of trying to get the folds to look right and I figured it would all be hidden under the shirt anyway, so... I just kind of haphazardly pinned it down however I could.

Another shot of the doll.

The socks were made from pieces of regular, adult human sized socks. The shoes are from Kika Goods, same as the body itself. I really want to try to either legitimately crochet a tiny cardigan or figure out a fun way to imitate a patchwork cardigan style with cross stitch. Maybe. I also want to make some sort of cute hat, either a beret or a beanie. Well, I guess I shouldn't get ahead of myself because the next step is the undershirt.
