Paradise Kiss: Blue Rose

This is a plushie COLLABORATION with ~momoiro-machiko because yes, plushie collabs do exist!

A year ago, we came up with the idea of making Caroline's final-fashion-show dress from Paradise Kiss into plushie form. We knew that it'd be impossible to do it alone, so we decided to collaborate.

I first made the doll's body. (previously posted in my scraps here: [link] )

Then, I shipped it to ~momoiro-machiko and she made the BEAUTIFUL DRESS with CRAZY beading!

She sent it back to me (we don't live in the same city), and I was supposed to complete it for AN last year, but because of time constraints, and then leaving for Japan, I didn't get around to doing it until... now. So I completed it by giving her the tedious hair (yes, every rose is handmade), and painting the face.

Here are the manga scans I worked with.

If you haven't read Paradise Kiss, it's an interesting manga, espescially if you like fashion.

Not available for remake and not for sale. She's a special project between ~momoiro-machiko and I. Go check out her gallery if you haven't!
