I am SO excited!!! I just finished my fourth rerooted girl and she came out EXACTLY how I wanted her to. I just love it when things go as planned. She was originally my Cinnamon Girl, Claire, but that name seriously doesn't suit her new look so now she is known as Fallon.

I sort of felt bad about changing her...stock CG's really are beautiful, but there was something about her that I could just never fully bond with. I toyed with the idea of selling her for a little while, but then figured that since I got her for such a great price (MIB with all her stuff for like $100) and since I had been wanting to customize an EBL girl for quite some time, I might as well use her as my guinea pig.

She was sandmatted, her eyechips and lashes were changed (brainworm chips in gray milk, charcoal, milk tea and some blue color that I can't remember the name of), she was boggled and her eyelids have been painted blue, repainted lips and of course a full saran reroot in black orchid. I really wish I had had better lighting to take these photos because her skin tone, although toned down because of the sandmatting, really looks pretty stunning with the black hair.

I definilely think I made the right choice. I am absolutely smitten with her now and unfortunately addicted to taking apart EBL girls. The reroot went SO much faster this time; I realized a little too late that the EBL scalp appears to have fewer holes and I overpurchased on saran. I still have a large skein and a half of black orchid if anyone knows anyone who wants to buy it off me.

There are two girls in my current B family who are now in line for make-overs and then hopefully I'll be able to purchase another EBL at a good price to take apart again. (I don't think I will be able to take any of my current girls apart...they are all too perfect the way they are!)

And by the way...BIG thanks to Blair for the skeleton dress!! I think it's perfect for my spooky girl!
