My own Esme, a long time in coming!
I have been holding this Esme for myself for at least 2 years now. I finally got around to painting her only to have issues not liking how the coloring was looking and so I ended up stripping her. Believe me, stripping off all that RebornFX paint was a major chore! I finally got her all cleaned and set about painting her again. She has been on my work table about a month now and today she is finally born!
This is my first baby putting in full round glass eyes from the front and without cutting the sockets off. I tried making the X in the back of the sockets like Janan Duncan taught me but I ended up needing a few extra snips so my X became more of an asterick. LOL. I did have an ever so slight beginning of a crack in the tear duct area of her right eye from trying to get the eyeball in. I panicked a bit but touched the tip of a tooth pick in some Crazy Glue and put it in the crack which sealed it shut. I think she is good now as it was not more than the tip end of the toothpick in size and you can’t even see it now.
WHEW!
Meet my very own Esme! I was so excited I took these quick photos with a flash so they are not great for coloring but I just wanted to share her.

I love the Esme sculpt. She is so cute. I made mine so she can go either with or without the vinyl body.
