Things went MUCH better with Lillian~Color Journal

As you can see, her head is more green than her limbs~which is just where I stopped yesterday as I ran out of time. Today, I should be able to get both colors of vinyl to about the same color tone.

So here is what I have done so far:

For her head:

1 layer of very thin (water thin) violet/blue wash applied with a mop brush. Brush/spread it on wet and pounced dry with wedges. This takes a lot of wedges!

1 layer of Cyan (a new LDC color that I am loving! I've used it for veins and now this wash) mixed with a bit of light flesh (also a new LDC color). This mixture is thicker than the violet mixture (thicker than water) but I still applied it with a mop brush and pounced dry with wedges.

1 layer of mint green wash in the same thickness as the cyan wash. Applied with a sponge cloth and pounced with wedges.

1 layer of light mint green (added white to the mint green), thicker than the mint green wash and applied with a sponge cloth and pounced with wedges. I intentionally left a lot of visible texture in this layer. This will help to bring her to life later.

Limbs:

1 layer of blue-green wash, thicker than water and applied with a sponge cloth, pounced in with wedges.

1 layer light flesh wash, thicker than water applied with a sponge cloth and pounced in with wedges.

1 layer of light flesh wash, thinned down to almost water consistency and applied wet with a mop brush and pounced dry with wedges.

1 layer of the same light mint green wash as used above only thinned just a little. Applied with a sponge cloth and pounced in with wedges. I did not leave as much visible texture on this layer as on the head as I wanted to wait to see where I am once I do another layer on the head.

So the plan today to continue to neutralize is to add a pink-mauve color to her head and see where I am at on matching tone to the limbs. Then if I am happy, I will begin to build her tone using the same colors on the head as the limbs.

Oh and her name for now is JaLily :) It is a combination her "mommy" and I have been using in reference to her because she is the same sculpt I used to create my Jena and the sculpt name is Lillian. Such fun. I love my job :)

NEW prototype being sent this week! I am so excited! He is by Samantha Gregory and his name is Fussy. I've already shopped some for him but need to do a bit more.

~See Fussy here~

He is a little ahead of schedule so there will be a delay in JaLily and also the Aubrey custom order I am working on but I will keep on working on them until Fussy arrives.

Weeeeeee....Wednesday!

Hugs~
