It is really hot
here in North Carolina. I decided to chill out in the shade and work on some of
my dolls yesterday.
I pierced Annora's
ears. I usually do that before I paint my dolls. The earrings I use on my dolls
fit well. I was a little wounded when one of the bits broke in the ear and I
had to bypass it. That made one of the ear holes a little larger than the other,
but it doesn't show.
Next I painted her
with my Conte pastels. I used a Berol Verithin Sienna Brown pencil to make her
brows and lashes. I don't even know if anyone can buy Berol pencils anymore. I
have had these for years. I just liked how the pencil holds a very sharp point
and is not soft like the watercolor pencils. I liked the sienna color as well.
I think it will look good with hair and eyelashes in the blonde to auburn
range.
I'm so excited. I
already feel inspired to make her clothes and things that are just her own. I
already bought her a camera before I even read her story on the Phyn and Aero
website. I loved the story.
Her skin is so
smooth it was scary to work on her. I finally just said "She's my doll and
I will do as I please". I chose
pink for her make up. She just looks like the girl who needs her pink colors. I
like pale makeup on my dolls. I am not real fond of the dark black eyeliner
unless she is a model that looks good in dark black eyeliner and such. Annora
is a young teen model to me. I want her
to look fresh and wholesome without too much drama.
I had to borrow the
eyes out of a 1/12th scale doll and they still look a bit too big. That's just
to show how small the eyes are for these dolls. I probably should have
purchased the set of eyes that fit the dolls.
I still don't have
her proper shoes. I will have to practice making doll shoes until I come up
with something good.
I borrowed the
Delilah Noir wig for her again, because I wanted to see her in blonde hair. I
liked the blonde. Then I took the white doll eyelashes I have on hand and
colored them with permanent markers to look more blonde than platinum. The
permanent marker won't bleed and damage the doll. I just use Elmer's school
glue to fix the lashes in place. I put brown marker on the edge of the lashes
that go under the eye lids to make a faint stay line.
I colored her nails.
I just love her tiny fingers. I won't to make her some rings to wear.
I put little magnets
inside her head to hold her earrings. I found that it helps to keep up with the
earrings and not have them falling out or dangling in some weird position out
the side of her head.
I worked on some tiny dolls that I bought secondhand for dollhouses. I will make pictures of them when they are dried and dressed. So cute!
