Ahh, thank you! The backgrounds are: my bedroom wall, an insert from some OMG packaging, a black scarf, and some random part of a cruise ship.

As to the piercings, I followed Of Crafts and Curios tutorial on youtube, the video name is “Let’s Pierce Some Dolls”. My Zooey has a variety of things going on on her face: I glued tiny rhinestones on her forehead, in the factory-painted dots; eye pins (used in jewelry making) for her extra ear piercings; and dress pins for her nose. Dress pins have smaller heads than standard sewing pins, i’ve found.

The video goes into more depth, but basically you use needlenose pliers to push a sharp pin into the face (the eye pins have blunt ends), and then put in the piercing! If you look back through my posts here, there’s one where I gave Lagoona a lip piercing using this same method.

You could just glue things on, but I like the stability and realism of an actual piercing 🙂

Yeah the color scheme is so pretty! Tho kinda reminds of toothpaste 🤣

Thank you so much! <3 I'm looking forward to trying some new hairstyles on her soon.
