It's a Doll: Ready to paint

Finally ready to paint! I mixed some colors that I already had (I'm supposed to be using existing materials and buying nothing!lol )to get a shade of Brown I was happy with. The problem is I didn't mix enough. So I had to do it again and this time I made a lot.

Painting her was pretty fast. The paint went on really even with the second coat. I used a dark brown drawing pastel to shade the body here and there. Not too much painting was needed on the face since her eyes are closed. Just a little eye shadow and lip color. ( I do like my lipstick don't leave home with out it.)

I decided to glue the mohair directly unto the head instead of making a wig. Not the neatest job I've ever done, but its ok.

To give the hair a nice wavy look I wet the hair after the glue dried and added a little mousse. I forgot I hadn't put any sealer on the paint so I needed to drape her in plastic until the hair dried.

Well she is basically finished aannnddd I am not happy with the face.

What a surprise!!

I am just not feeling the face so a little plastic surgery is needed; just a little.

Just a little nip and tuck around the eyes, chin and mouth. And thank goodness I still have paint left.

And after the new face she needed a new hairdo. Just like the salon; wash and set. It took me a good few minutes to roll the hair. I used toothpicks for rollers and foil to hold them in place.
