Jessica - Wired

I did my first experiment in BJD wiring in over 10 years yesterday. My Iplehouse EID Jessica was my test subject. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm upset that I'll have to open up the hole in her left elbow peanut because it's a bit narrower than the right one. I looked down the both of them, and you can see how the left peanut has a bit of extra resin inside an indentation that appears to be the guide for how big the hole should be. I know, don't breathe in resin dust. I'll take it outside and wear a mask. One interesting thing I encountered was with the JID elastic I used. I bought a bunch of JID elastic when I last got some clothes and shoes from Iplehouse. I know I have to restring my JID Tania, so I got more than enough. Anyway, each pack of elastic from Iplehouse contains two precut strands of elastic. One of them was too short to go from wrist to wrist on the EID, so I used both of them and tucked both knots inside the torso. I think the way things are set up now, I have a very workable setup. I may experiment with 14 gauge wire, but it would probably be for the best to stick with 12 gauge wire for extra stability and durability. I've had this wire in my Dollmore Model Doll Leah's legs for over 10 years, and I haven't had to replace it at all. Plus, 12 gauge is easy to find at the hardware store. They just cut it off of a reel for you if you don't want to buy a whole lot. I got like 20 feet of it way back when. I still haven't used it all.
