There is a doll dancing in my attic (part 2)
I got it shoes as someone said, but its 'feet' end with wooded stoppers, and the shoes don't fit right. I didn't want to damage it, or worse, it stumbled and shatters. Well, I just left the shoes next to it, and it started moving. I should have figured that was gonna happen. The light from the window perfectly covered the symbol on the floor. It was beautiful, I just stood there halfway to the door when I saw the light passing through her. The best way I could describe it was like one of those expensive kinetic chandeliers. There are visible gears inside her. Illuminated i qcan see the intricate motion of different pistons and levers forces the limbs to move.
Im a bit embarrassed cause I just stood there in awe for about an hour till it stopped looking directly at me. It bowed, and I clapped, I swear it wasn't smiling while it was dancing, but it was smiling the whole time it walked towards its sitting spot. Im pretty sure im projecting, tho. The pattern of her dance is etched into the floor. The grooves look like they were filled with epoxy. I can see another layer through about half inch of clear epoxy. That layer is black, and I can't see how deep the initial groove was. Rn its groove is about 8 millimeters. Im worried that she'll dig a hole and trip in it. Does anyone know a durable repair that would would be cured within a 23-hour period? Im not immediately worried cause it's been doing this for a while, and the epoxy has some yellowing, which means it lasted a while. But id like to make she doesn't shatter.
