Thanks so much, QueenGrania!!! I remade the background several different times until I decided simpler was better. This actually does look like the picture I used for reference, with the far hills kind of foggy and unclear.

I love this, it is so unique! I love how you made the string her hair, and of course the outfit and background are both amazing too!

Thanks so extremely much, Heliotropic!!! I love this doll, although or perhaps especially, because she's a bit on the wild side for me. I'm very glad that you like it, too!!! In the US, they just touch strings and make the other kite fly out of control, but there was something about the idea of essentially flying razors (some guys do attach razors to their kites, incidentally) that fascinated me.

Connected by the cords. The red glitter accents, the matching choker and bracelet and the sparkles on her top (something else that reminds me of the broken glass) all look great, and I really like the background. Especially the way you made the ground, and the Doll Divine kite ;) I really like this! I think it's my favorite doll you've made so far!

Shape of a kite, and putting those flags on it! And the way you made everything blows me away! The stripes on the Afghanistan flags are impressive, especially what you've done with the colors, and THOSE BIRDS! :O I can't believe how perfect the birds are! It seems like such a complicated shape to create. I like the "tails" hanging off the kite, and the rest of her outfit is really cool too! The black color and the daring shape is very intense, I especially like how the skirt is connected (cont)

Wow :O This is awesome!! Such an original idea to use the concept of a fighting kite, and the whole scene is so intense! Her eye makeup is fierce, and goes perfectly with her black lipstick! The shading on her skin is perfectly subtle, and I love her hair! It reminds me the strings of a fighting kite, with the glitter draggies representing how they're coated with broken glass. Very cool! And...the skirt!!! The skirt is the best part! The whole thing is such a cool idea-making it in the (cont)

Thanks nightingale!!! I liked this haircut because it looked a little fierce, like I thought a fighting kite would enjoy.

I really love what you've done with her hair. All those sparkles look fantastic on her. Also such a cute and accurate depiction of the flag on her skirt. The Doll Divine kite is lovely, too. xD

Thanks very much, NightmareCake!!! She's a little different from other kites, but I came across U.S. style kite fighting maybe a year ago, and knew I had to do this.

Heights of 1000 feet are not unheard of in the windy areas of the country, and kite flyers have an assistant who holds a drum upon which the sharp string is wound. Alice Yukata is decked in a kite-like skirt showing the flag of Afghanistan, quartered with the peace flag. In the distance I have lofted a "DollDivine" kite, which may or may not be a fighter. :)
