Painted doll-part 2, the face

Okay, I decided to keep this doll although the next time I use this pattern it will be with a few alterations, more darts, mainly to make the head rounder.
Anyway, after I tried to copy the face on the pattern, this is what came out. I'm listing this lady in primitives because it reminds me of those faces that were painted and painted crudely. I had to lower the hair line because the face looked to long, turned out I could of made bigger features instead. I did a little research on varnished dolls, did you know the hair is painted with a glue gel to give it texture? Whoops!

Here she is with the first coat of varnish, for a antique aged look you apply a dark wood stain then blot it off. I may decide this or not.

One thing that is going to happen, this will be a infant doll wearing a bonnet and a ole' fashioned christening gown with socks. This personality is what convinced me to keep her, I think she will be perfect as a baby holding a rattle.

She's not that cute, I know. C&G Design
