Skin Colour

One sunny afternoon I decided to make the skin colour for the doll. Sunshine is essential for me to make skin colours, because mixing the colours on a cloudy day or under room light tends to create the wrong shade, which often turns out very pink.
I had coated the surface with three layers and then noticed that it was too yellow.

The next day I added a bit of red paint to make a more appropriate colour and layered four more coats. Finally the skin colour was as I wanted and evenly painted.

On the third day, the paint had completely dried and I could connect all the parts with elastic.

It has been a long time since I put the eyes in and since the undercoat covered the eyeballs I had totally forgotten the colour of the eyes until I cleaned it off.

Finished Making the Wig

Putting the wig on to the doll's head with temporary eyebrows drawn with an HB pencil. The wig will be cut to a shorter hair style.

The completion is soon! However I noticed that one of the ball joints is broken. It will take a little longer to finish off the whole body than initially planned.

The doll's face

This is the new face as a result of the fixing and make-up. Quite different from the original face but I prefer it. (To see the original doll please have a look at my blog page on September 2013). 

The wig hasn't been attached properly.
