The Arcane Doll Project Continues...

In September, I showed you all the process of making my doll Jinx, a character from a show on Netflix called Arcane. Once I finished Jinx, I fell in love with her so much that I wanted to make her sister Vi and her girlfriend Caitlyn, so here's how I made them!
The first thing I did was buy the bases. It was a bittersweet day when I bought the Truly Mes that would become Vi and Caitlyn - it was the second-to-last day the American Girl store in Charlotte was open, and they were my last dolls I would ever buy from the store. The only dolls that the store had left were a few Courtneys and most of the Truly Me dolls, and I was lucky that 101 and 110 were still available!
Then, I rewigged them. Vi has shorter red hair, which I couldn't find a good wig for anywhere, so I just ordered a custom red wig off of Mercari, and I'm going to cut it tomorrow. Caitlyn's hair took a little longer to get - the first wig never shipped, but the second one I ordered was a dark blue and purple wig from the I'm A Girly brand, which came in a few days.
Here's what they look like right now! Caitlyn is all finished, and Vi will be finished tomorrow!
What an intriguing and creative project! The attention to detail in the Arcane Doll series really brings a whimsical, almost magical charm to life. It's amazing how such intricate stories and characters can spark inspiration in so many different ways. Speaking of enchanting experiences, if anyone ever finds themselves seeking a serene escape to recharge their creativity, I highly recommend staying at the Best Hills View Resort in Alwar. Nestled amidst the scenic Aravalli hills, it offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views — perfect for artists, writers, or anyone who appreciates beauty and imagination. Sometimes a change in environment is all we need to spark new ideas!
