Doll Notes

Abeni is another doll that I thought I would never be able to find a doll for. Dolls that aren't pale and slim are hard to find, so I was sure Abeni and Sam would be next to impossible to shell. Somehow I got really lucky with both of them! I found this stunning Merry Doll Round Zuri for sale on the Den of Angels marketplace and was astonished at just how much she looked like my drawings of my character! Even her eye shape is just how I imagined.

The biggest challenge was her hair. I couldn't find a braided wig anywhere, so I decided my only option was to make one myself. I'd never made a doll wig before, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. I think I will even make her a second so that she can wear her braids either up or down, depending on the outfit she's wearing. I made her the ponytail version first, because that's how she wears her hair most often.



Character Notes

Abeni is an artist and art conservator. She is confident, decisive and thinks in a creative way that tends to inspire others around her. She sees the whole world, and everything in it, as art. She is also incredibly nosy, forever curious about other people's lives and what makes them tick.

She and Samuelson met in art class when they were attending university together. Less than a year into their whirlwind romance, they eloped (to the great displeasure of both their families.)

After 12 years of marriage, the two are now divorced, but remain on good terms, although Abeni has moved on from the relationship more than Samuelson has. She even attends parties at his house.

They have an 18 year old son together, Avery, who lives with Abeni most of the time.
