Second Face-up

 

I wiped off the old face-up on my practice head and repainted it. I was not happy with the first one. So this time I read up on different ways to do a face-up and got some advice from some gals at a doll meet. I took the advise from on of the gals to do it in layers, that helped a ton. Used more pastels than last time, found someone on youtube using the pastels as powder with a paint brush, I really like the results from the pastels. I also used water color pencils, made doing lashes a lot easier. :) I'll probably use paint next time for the eye liner, didn't like the way it turned out, I think it would probably look better with paint. I loved the way her blush turn out, I am definitely blushing my girl's ears when she gets here. With her little elf ears it will be adorable!

First Face-up

    

   I decided to start a blog so I could share the crafts I've been up to with friends and family, the first of these being my first face-up. There are some things I definitely need to work on, but I had fun playing around with it. This head is a Fairyland Littefee Winking Ante faceplate bw skin, I bought it just for practicing on, though I think someday it will claim a body. When I first showed it to my Grandoug with no eye in it's head he said it was quite disturbing, he was fine with it after I put the eye in. :) It amazes me how much difference it makes just putting in an eye. I've already thought of some characters I could turn it into.

    I've passed working day 40 of my wait on my Littlefee DES I order. I am getting antsy here and hope I get some news soon. She will be my first bjd and I'm very excited about getting her. 

   I also took these photos of my faceplate, was trying to be more artsy with my photos. I found my stone necklaces and thought they looked perfect with it's eyes.
