I feel like I've just been cycling through my dolls recently just to have something to paint. Not really a bad thing. Practice and all that mumbo jumbo. It's starting to feel like the fruits of my labor are really paying off, though! What do you think? Being able to see improvement really makes things [...]
Atticus has been revamped (again!). Really pleased with how he turned out. The eyelashes are better. Still not as good as I want them to be, but he's getting there~
Something I always try to do when I get back into doll crafts is do a practice run before I get serious. While I do have a practice head, my first doll looked like she could use some attention. The last faceup I gave her in '05 wasn't bad, but it could be better. Kinda [...]
Well, he's finally done. Well, besides the lashes and new eyes that haven't arrived yet, he's done. I'm hoping the eyelashes really bring him together, because there are a few little odds and ends that sort of irk me, but not enough to dive in and redo his faceup just yet. A comparison picture: I [...]
AN OLD NEMESIS RETURNS... WILL OUR HEROINE TRIUMPH OR TASTE THE COLD SOUP OF DEFEAT?! TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO FIND OUT... In all seriousness, this is Atticus. Atticus is my DS18M Dollshe Saint. I love Atticus, but he is by far my biggest problem child. He's impossible to shop for, near impossible to restring [...]
Alright so this time was a little bit better. I learned to use the regulator so the air pressure wasn't quite so bad. I also played around a little with her ears for a future face up on Fray (I'd really like the tips of his ears to be black). So without further ado, here's [...]
I wasn't going to post this at first, but the more I think about it, the more I feel it might be important to. So... Here was my first attempt at airbrushing. I've learned a few things from this experience: You can't cut acrylic airbrush paint with water. Probably shouldn't use acrylic paint right now [...]
IT'S 2016! YAY! Here's one of my new years resolutions: become acquainted with this tool- Instead of asking for a new doll or video game this year, I figured it was about time to step up my faceup game. I'd been thinking about investing in an airbrush for awhile, but I knew little to nothing [...]
I haven't really talked about her much, but I have a Bobobie Pixie that was given to me by a cherished friend. She was the first doll I was ever gifted, and that's why I wanted to make sure she looked awesome before I reintroduced her to the world. But of course, plans don't always [...]
