All I can say is "phiew!".
For a few days it looked as if the package containing the two face-up samples was lost somewhere between The Netherlands and China. After many calls back and forth, today I finally received the email I was hoping for: The heads have arrived at the casting service. If all goes well, the face-up artist there will send me two samples of her copies next week and after that... I can officially start taking sales pictures!
*Fingers crossed*
Other news:
I have found myself a dealer! Triskel Fantasy
[link] has shown interest in Puck from the start and all sales regarding this doll will go through them. For those of you who live within the EU: because Triskel Fantasy is located in the Netherlands, this means you won't have to pay custom charges when you order my dolls.
