Making up a Unoa Sist and Lusis Practice doll

I had this cute Unoa doll for sometime and didn't do much for her. I am snowed in today, so I decided to work on her some more. I worked on her face up after work a few times last week. I blushed her. I pierced the ears on her Sist faceplate today. I am still debating about whether to pierce her Lusis faceplate. Because I found out with my Minifee doll the piercing makes the doll look older. I still love her but she was fine without the piercings. I like my dolls to look more girly than mature.

I really like the tiny chest for this doll. Most of the MSD sized dolls I have seen have huge breasts. The teeth are so cute too. I really love this doll now that she has a little color in her. She is just coming to life for me. 

I used a Harbor Freight drill with a tiny bit. I didn't want to use Dremel for this. I was worried I might really do more harm than good. The earrings I chose needed just a little bending to put backs on them. They go in without any bending but to get a back on them so they won't fall out easily, I do have to bend slightly the posts. I also used a damp rag to pick up any dust as I worked. It was too cold to go outside and I didn't want resin dust indoors. I did get them a little bit crooked but it really doesn't show unless you are really looking at it just for that reason.

The next picture shows how I had to go in at an angle. The face plates are very thick and the ears aren't separated from the head like on the Minifee. I had to really study about it to figure out how to use stud earrings on her. 

I didn't think it would be a good idea to go all the way through the head plate either. Then the face plate when mounted to the back of the head would interfere with putting in the earrings.  

 I really thought her hands were kind of clumsy and large but she looks great in her pictures. I may even let her have her ears pierced. Come to think of it, I had mine done in 6th grade. 

 The next picture shows how to make her sit without leaning back. She can slump forward with the little piece in her back. The piece doesn't show when she has on clothes either.
