I'm making an Outenkun doll for myself. Hand-sewn and everything. Hand-painted face, too. Why am I doing this...?

January 6, 2001 -- So, his body is finished now, and I've painted his face on with acrylic paint. I forgot his ears when I was making the body (how could you forget his ears!?), so I added them later. Right now, he has no hair, and no clothes (!!). I have the material to make his little leather pants, but I've been busy. For his hair, I can't decide between embroidery floss or yarn. Either way, I'm going to have to use glue to shape the turned-up bits. I felt sorry for him, so I put two of my rings on his arms, but they aren't in the pictures.
