Will be gone for awhile....

     Thought I'd warn everyone that I will not be posting for awhile. I'm in the middle of moving in with my grandparents to work on my education. Looking forward to being able to complete my basic schooling. A bit nervous just because I've never done anything like this before, but I'm sure I'll do fine once I get started!
     I'm not sure how often I'll post once school starts. That will be my number one priority for awhile, so crafts might be pushed aside for some time. I'll probably still try to update my blog at least once a month, just have to see how it goes!

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.

   

Been gone to long

     I am horrified, I told myself I would post at least once a week and realized I haven't done anything for a month. I have finished blushing the hands and feet, they turned out really nice. I've finished dying the white furr pink and making it into a wig. The wig is the perfect color for my girl. I still haven't picked out a name for her, need to get busy on that.
      I'm working on her faces right now. I tried a tricked I read about on DoA to take a piece of tape draw the shape you want your eyebrow to be cut it out and use it as a template. It was sooo much easier that way, didn't take near as long to draw them all on and have them match.
     I have photos of the hands and feet, but right now I don't have a computer to upload them to. As soon as I do I'll post them. I also plan to take some photos of her new wig. And maybe by then she'll have a face also!

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.

Sigh and Botheration

     Well this week has been pretty unproductive. I got pink eye on Saturday and it is just now leaving. So I didn't get any doll projects done. Plus some how my glasses got lost, so I've been half blind since I got pink eye(I usually wear contacts). So looking forward to next week.
     Hoping to be able to work on her again soon. I'm going to work on the hands and feet next. I think the hardest part will be getting all the blush to match, I have many pairs of hands to paint. :) I finished looking at the Japanese names, now to tackle the next language!

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!
