Glassy eyes

I've had this little one for a while and haven't had much opportunity to work on her. I got her for myself, so my girls are always neglected!

 

I'm still working on getting her hair color right (I want it just a touch more vibrant.) and I've done some version of this face-up a few times. She came with her lips somewhat carved, but I knew I wanted to do more carving on her. I finally got around to starting the carving last night.

 

All my non-dolly friends would say "your dolls are really cute -- except that one, she's creepy" : P I wanted her to be ghosty, but maybe a bit cuter. I think the philtrim mod and the new nose as well as the additional lip work makes her more quirky and less creepy. Still creepy -- just less so! I still need to do the fine sanding and do a REAL face-up on her. I just wanted to get my palette down, so I had an image of her in my head while I worked on her. Right now the face-up is very sloppy and the sanding is rough, but it gives me an idea of where I'm going with her. What do you think?

 

Just like my pink thermal girl, this girl doesn't have a name. I suck. : (
