In Pieces....

Pulled apart Satomi again. She's been in dire need of a new paint job.

Left side of the photo has the pieces that still need cleaned and the

right side has the pieces I worked on cleaning today. :)

I'll be working on taking off all the old paint for awhile. Then I'll get to work on 

repainting her again. I don't plan on doing a full body blush this time as it wore 

off quickly on her joints last time. I'll be giving her mid body a blush job, repaint 

her face, and give her back her arm tattoo, as well as adding a few new ones. ^_^

 She is also going to be restrung. Her old elastic is worn and not as stretchy as it
once was. So I'll be finding somewhere to order some new strung to fix her up. I'd
also like to try and find some silicone sheets to try sueding her that way. I've
didn't like how quickly the hot glue sueding wore off and the moleskin sueding is
a mess to clean off after it wears out. So, I'm excited about working on my girl
 and getting her all freshly put together!                                                               

Hands and Feet

     Here are the photos of the hands and feet, still haven't taken a photo of the wig yet. I'm still working on the faces, I need to put on lips and eyelashes. Then that will be complete!

     The palms of her hands got a little orange, but I decided I liked it anyhow. I didn't realize just how many hands I have until I had them all together.

     I loved putting on her finger nails, they turned out so pretty.

     Decided to color the bottom of her feet and gave her toe nails. Such cute little feet! I'm happy with how it all turned out.

   

Working on My Girl Again

     I am finally able to work on my girl again, it's been to humid to spray paint. I started her hands and feet today! Feels good to be working on her again. Since I wasn't able to paint her I've been working on some clothing designs. I'm hoping to get her hands and feet done in the next couple of days, then start on my face-plates.

Body Blush

     I've been working on getting my doll together, a couple of days ago I finished her body blushing. I did a light blushing, didn't want the really pink blushing.  I made her shoulders a little too tan. Oh well, she's a fairy, so she's just been in the sun. :) It's already chipping a little on the shoulders, but that area gets rubbed a lot.

     Decided to give her a tattoo, was fun designing it. It's there to hide a rough spot, decided I'd rather put on a tattoo than take of all the paint.

     Also after painting her all up, she can arch her back with no sueding at all! Very excited about that. I've started looking at names, always takes me awhile to pick a name. I like to look at several different languages before I decide. Next thing I plan to do is blush her hands and feet. And give her finger and toe nails. Saving her face for last, the face is going to be the hardest to make look right. And I think I'm going to get some eyelashes.
     Decided (with Grams' help) that she will have several different wings to go with all her different outfits. Been working on some different designs. I also bought another piece of fur that is longer fur to make another wig with. It's a piece of white fur, I'm going to dye it pink and probably stick two ponytails in it!

A Little Longer Than I Thought

     I've been spraying my doll with clear paint for the last few days. Yesterday I ran out of spray. :(  I live an hour and a half away from the nearest place that has testors dullcote(the paint I use). So now I have to wait 'till Saturday (when we go into town anyways) to get more. I'm taking all my supplies with me so I can work on her at Grams and Grandoug's.
     Hoping to get her put back together over the weekend. It makes me nervous having her in pieces. Can't wait to get her back together again!
