I have also discovered the need for buying good quality dolls from a reputable dealer. Lacie was bought on ebay for a really good price. Maybe too good a price. I have noticed that she is rather 'rough' nor smooth and clean like Orah or Giselle were. So from now on I will stick to dealers I know even if the prices are higher. I think this is one of those times where you get what you pay for. Even still the roughest areas will actually be covered so it'll be ok! =D

Lacie WIP update
I have decided that my Lacie will be rather scantily dressed, so I took my porcelain figure and filled her in (except her arms, I'd like them to move)with Super Sculpey clay. Then I played 'plastic surgeon' Lacie got a boob job and a tush lift. Next she will get a coat of paint to even out her 'skin-tone' As unfortunately Super Sculpey blends in perfectly when raw but darkens noticeably when baked. I think I need to play around with some mixes to see if I can find one that bakes to match the porcelain. But any ways here she is in all her glory. oh yeah and she's running around in the buff. (But then again if Tessie is right Lacie won't be cognizant of anything until she is dressed and wigged anyway.)

I did it, I did it, I did it!!!!
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
