Fairyland Puki Fees

 I was asked recently if I would share a photo of my Puki Fees, this meant trying to get all seventeen to look at the camera . . . I thought FAT CHANCE!

And wouldn't you know it one just had to jump down to the ground . . . and break her wing. GRR! I tried to fix it, first with superglue, then heating the plastic but all that did was turn it brown. 

So now I have to try and remember where I purchased  the wings in the first place so I can replace them and seeing as I have a hard time remembering what I did last week there's FAT CHANCE of that happening too!

Articulation in Dolls

I was thinking about this when I decided to list some dolls on eBay the other day. I wasn't sure whether I could use the word to describe their limb movement being only five way jointed. So I Googled and this is what I found.

"On Gotz Doll Wiki, ARTICULATION refers to whether or not a doll can move one or more of its body parts independently of its body and/or hold that body part in a fixed pose." 

So it appears as long as a doll can move its arm, leg or head and hold a pose with them, it's okay to say it's articulated. That made me feel a lot better about using the word.

Speaking of which, I ordered this little lady. She's very pretty but I already have this "Nora" face on a couple of Paola Reina dolls and I really only wanted her nine way jointed body.

She is going to have her head switched with another of my Paola Reina dolls. Thereby providing me with three different faces. As you see below I already have this "Nora" face on the multi jointed body.

I have always loved my "Barbara" but as I recently sold her (and regretted it as soon as I did), I shall keep this pink haired "Barbara" faced multi jointed doll instead.

I had listed "Cristi" for sale too, but I shall keep her head for the new body, her red hair and green eyes are just too nice to part with. The Carol Pringle dress and beaded headband will stay too.
