Hmmm...Painted hair

Hmmmm....well this is NOT what I had planned to do with this baby's head as I intended just to give her rooted hair but it felt motivated to practice.

Although not horrible, I am not happy with this head of painted hair. I could have worked on it longer but that was senseless since I still intended to root hair on this baby and my hours were running short.

Since I did not intend to even paint bangs on this baby, I did not give her textured hair with the Genesis Matte Varnish, but overall, the hair texture looks good with just the paint. I had given her textured brows though.

I am most unhappy with the front of the hair. Let's hope the finished baby, with rooted hair will overcome what I don't like. She might have to undertake a sex change operation~we'll see!

I got a message from Dorothy Drake, the Portland, Oregon Crossroads Doll and Teddy Bear show co-coordinator. That show is coming up this weekend. I LOVE what Dorothy said in her email and asked if I could post her comments on my blog:

"I am wondering if you realize how visible the fun you are having
with your doll & teddy bear hobby is? The joy has a
voice....your excitement over finding something that makes your
heart sing. The joy has a face....your's in it's concentration,
laughter, and lots of smiles. The joy has a heart...again yours
as you take part in the doll & teddy bear community...and take
home the warmth.

I have noticed and so have others, even those that don't really
'get' what you love about our hobby. They may not see the art,
the history, the creativity, the group dynamics. So I encourage
you to get excited about taking a day away from the 'yuckies' and
invite someone that needs a lift....show off what you do and who
you are!

The September shows are:
