I finally faced my FEAR...I painted a 1/12th scale face!!!! I bought several blank doll kits on ebay several months ago, but was absolutely terrified of messing them up. I am a bit of a perfectionist. When I see something I want to do MINE just as well. Well face painting is one of those things that if done poorly can really mess up a figure. So I have left my blanks in a box...hiding from the FEAR. Well I have an envisioned figure that I desperately want to create, and well I NEEDED a doll. So this evening I faced my FEAR and put paint to brush, and brush to porcelain. And you know what...I DID IT!!! Lacie has a face, and I think she looks pretty darned good! YEAH me! =D
yes, she does!!! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fear I've never faced and probably never will, I so admire the doll artists.
Looking forward to what comes next. :)
Thanks Dale! I have that same un-faceable FEAR of sculpting...I'll leave that to the professionals! =D
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to take pics as I progress with her. Kind of a diary of a WIP.
She looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou can do clay, I think, you can sculpt!
ReplyDeleteI thinks so! ;)
Great job! My hands would be shaking so much that I couldn't do this. Good for you for facing your fear!
ReplyDeleteShe looks incredible- you did a really good job! I can't wait to see more of her!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim, I am really hoping that I can do the vision in my head justice! =D
ReplyDeleteOH, she does look good. Love the detail in her eyes!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ban, I an not quite happy with her eyes but I know that each face I do will only get better!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, taking that first step is the hardest. Smiles and hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue...that first step was really hard, but I am so glad I did it!
ReplyDeleteYou have more courage than I do when it comes to painting. I just can't paint tiny details.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to trade some supplies whenever you are. Just let me know what colors and sizes you want and what you've got for trade.
HI You did a great job on painting your first mini Doll face. Hugs Dianne S.
