I'm not sure I've ever had this much trouble restringing a doll, but I guess they say the things you work for are the most rewarding. I'm not sure about that, but my hands do hurt like crazy...
I did end up wiping his face after all. It was beautiful, but just not the right look for my boy. Now that it's off I can see him a little better. And I found that he actually has the old-fashioned carved eyebrows which was a neat surprise. His face/face shape is also much more gender neutral without the face up. I'm not sure what I want him to look like yet, or even what his name will be, but it will come.
Overall he's a great example of adorable old bjd. His body is cute and chubby, as are his hands, and his face is very anime-esque. I'm particularly in love with his big eyes. I always buy Uri reflective eyes because his eye openings are so small, and the light really doesn't come through. But this boy has big, wide eyes. I think I will keep his "default" brown eyes because they are so pretty, and they remind me of my eyes.
And beyond that...no idea. I've had a few thoughts on a name, but nothing that has stuck yet. Same goes with a style. We'll see what comes with time.
