Updating dolls again

Sometimes a doll just doesn't look right to you, and you leave it and look at it and think no it's not right. 

I've recently been updating my dolls as some were made before things I know now.  My most recent doll the ice fairy I wasn't entirely happy with. Her eyelids were too heavy and her boots too clunky. So I took a scalpel to the bits I wasn't happy with. I removed some of eyelid opening the eyes more, and shaved off some of the nose which was a little too fat. I shaved off the heaviness of the boots and did a repainted on them and the face. 

I'm now much happier with how she looks.

I also bought some modge podge which I'd heard about but wasn't really sure what it was. It is magic in a bottle. I've used it to glaze all my doll eyes and nails and it looks amazing. Eyes have more depth and nails look real.  A real gem.

Bigger eyes and slimmer nose. She has a more dreamy look now.


These boots are made for skating.

Almost finished

I've nearly finished this toddler doll.

I got the body finished off. 



Then started work on the outfit.  A nice pair of jammys.

The slippers need finishing with more fluff, and I need to make a crochet hat for her.
