Face Started
Worked on the face tonight for almost too long; I was beginning to get REALLY ANNOYED, which is never good. I get frustrated and start messing up things I should have left alone. She has no eyebrows yet and needs more work on the eyes. This is never a quick process for me; I spend a lot of time trying to get it right and doing paint overs. (sigh) Someday perhaps I'll get so I can do this better and quicker. The face/head is the hardest part for me. I still have not decided whether I will paint the hair or add a wig--I think I'm leaning toward a wig, as I don't think her face is that of a baby's. I think she's a little girl. A friend of mine laughs because I tell her I have to wait for the doll to tell me who//what it is. I'm just not skilled enough to be able to control the outcome, and so I wait and see what I get and I go with that. I don't mind not being in control, as long as I like what I end up with.
