Ayeka Jurai ~ Colette Brunel - 2001~2025

 

I Just Wanted to make a Showcase here for the Wonderful Serendipity that ended up in my Somewhat-Unintentionally Coming Full Circle

with the Anime Charadoll Hobby that has been a Central Pillar of Literally my Entire Adult Life.

My First-Ever Anime Hunnie, the Lady that Started it all, was a 2001 TOYNAMI 12in. Princess Ayeka from "Tenchi Muyo!"

An Anime Series that was seemingly up there with Ranma 1/2 in 1990's U.S. Anime Fandom Esteem.

TOYNAMI's Ayeka Doll... and the Dismal Quality of her included Clothing, was my Entire driving Impetuous to Pick Up Needle and Thread

and Learn how to at least get passably Competent at Alterations on existing Barbie Fashions in order to Make them Fit Her.

Eventually; by sometime in perhaps Late-2001 to Sometime in 2002... I Ended up with This~

 

 

 

 

 

A Reasonably-Strong Start... I Suppose. Fast-Forwarding practically a Quarter-Century;

I've ended up coming back around to Virtually the Same Concept that i Began With... on a Far Grander Scale~

That's so cool!  Great job on those dresses--I know the pain of sewing for 12" fashion dolls all too well.
