LOOK WHO'S EVEN HAPPIER NOW!

Post by pudditat »

Sandy did a really great job painting Roxy Belle. But I decided I wanted her skin tone to look similar to mine. I thought, with Belle's cute button nose, she could pass as a Filipino baby...my mini-me. I asked her pourer Claire Taylor if it was safe to do some touch up. She gave me some advice on how to paint over already-painted and matted doll. Sandy did a fabulous job thinly matting Belle, so adding paint to her was not a problem at all.

First I did a thin wash of yellow for warmth. Then I added blush on her cheeks and tushy. Added some purple wash on the eyelids and base of the nose. Darkened her creases a teeny tiny bit too. Then more blushing here and there and finished with another thin layer of yellow ochre. Sealed and re-matted.

Here she is!

She looks even cheekier.

Here's she's wearing grandma's (my mama) necklace that my mother gave to me, to give to my daughter. Unfortunately, I don't have a real one. Roxy Belle gets to have it. It has an R on the pendant. It's my mama's initial (Rose).

She looks great in any colour now.

I love her so much!

Tomorrow is Belle's big day. It's her Christening day!

Hugs,
Susan and Baby Belle
