I thought Mirwen would be a redhead. But I had some cute blonde eyelashes and decided to try them. She looks so sweet with a borrowed blonde wig. I am not a professional doll artist, but there is something so special about making up your own doll from a blank body and head. It is like you made her yourself. It is so interesting how much a little chalk, a wig and some eyes can completely change a doll into a whole 'nother character.
I sprayed her with Krylon Matte Finish and it wouldn't come off with alcohol. I made a mistake or two and had to use acetone to "fix" it. That is even worse. The acetone made it look like she was scratching her arms. It doesn't really show too much unless I am looking through my magnifier glasses. I still think the flaws make her look more real.
Mirwen says she feels like she is a real girl now and she would like to hang around with me.
