Well I did it! I repainted my first Momoko and here she is! She get’s the honor of being my Momoko of the day. She was previously a cafe au lait. You can see her before picture in yesterday’s post. I will list her on eBay tonight and will provide the link once that’s up. I almost hate to sell her though. She looks so good. I wasn’t wowed by this particular doll so I used her as my first “experiment” to repaint and now I love her!

Taking the plunge
My momoko of the day is another pic of 04DS. Here she has the new SAJ body. I just love her with her new body. Big improvement. Now she can wear sleaveless outfits. They say on the petworks site that the head on these coco bodies aren’t removeable but that’s just not true. I didn’t even need to warm up the head with steam. If you’re in a colder climate then you probably would need to warm the head up first. But it came off and I didn’t damage the neck on the coco body.
Now, I decided to take a before picture of the nude cafe au lait that I got. I’m going to repaint her face and possibly reroot her. We’ll see once I repaint her how her hair looks or what I can do with it. I love repainting. Rerooting, I kind of like to do but don’t LOVE it. When I paint the faces of dolls, I can’t stop. I can get rather obsessive about it and can’t be disturbed! My 3 yr old is catching on. 😉 Sometimes I have to beg her to let mommy finish though.
My momokos of the day are 02DD also known as Daisy D posing with 02SM. I should find a name for 02SM. Hmmm, I think Mindy comes to mind. Don’t know why.
As far as dolly projects, I’m running behind. Still working on rerooting Francie and trying to also get the guts to repaint a nude cafe au lait momoko which I just got for the sole purpose of repainting her. I’m still waiting on 3 more nude momokos to repaint and possibly reroot. Just wanted to post some picts of my lovely momokos perhaps as inspiration to finish those other projects.
