Cardamom

Face-up artist(s):

Default (Straight from Luts)

Date of acquisition:

April 2024

Provenance:

Head purchased from SKYWHYS on DoA with company faceup, body purchased as a full Demon Garden Basil with original box. To my knowledge, no recasts

Reason for choice:

Expression, elf ears, tiny vampire fangs

Best Points:

*Expression
*Surprisingly great ab crunch
*Smoothly-posing joints
*Relatively stable

Worst Points:

*The resin match is non-existent. I did not realize the Lu-Wen heads were so pink- they're still pre-Fairyland. The body is cast in normal yellow.

I wanted to make a classic Y2K Delf. The dream was Vampire Elf Shiwoo... but of course everybody wants one of those, and I missed my chance to get a cheap Dreaming Vampire Shiwoo years ago. Still kicking myself for that. It was always on the bucket list, but I kept putting it off when Delfs were $250 - $450 a pop. With their sudden popularity and all the old alt fashion clothiers long-closed, I felt I'd better hurry and fulfill this dream before it became unobtainable. When SKYWHYS posted this Lu-Wen, it was an opportunity I couldn't refuse. The sly dreaming eyes, upturned nose, and tiny vampire fangs have always made Lu-Wen feel like a cousin to Shiwoo.

Black, white, purple, red... anything an alt kid would wear

<To be determined.
Three things of note:

• Even though it's spelled with an 'm', he pronounces it 'Cardamon'
• Works in a circus sideshow, but also understudies the acrobats.
  
• Is considered the midpoint between chaos (Sindrast), compassion (Chamomile), and hard logic. (River)>
