Revealing the Painted Doll

Well, I finished her, I even managed to make a imitation rattle in a dusty rosy pink color. I don't know what it is but this baby reminds me of a girl. She will take-up her spot on the extra chair in the dining room. Sadie sits on the captain's seat now "Selma" has the other chair. I plan to add a few more babies with her but I've yet to unpack the ones I'm thinking of. Bree the Bird Lady and Penny are to the left, atop the built-in hutch. I thought this antique dog would look cute with her but it overwhelms the setting.

All and all she didn't do too bad. Her head, still there, looks differently with a bonnet. Her hands, er, well they are her hands. The over gown is wonderful! Just the right touch.

I decided to not apply the aging paint process, I'll use that on another. She has that new texture complexion she should have, although sometimes you can see a great glare on her face do to the varnish. That is why most of these photos are at a angle.

One other thing about a painted varnished cloth doll, they have a illusion of being heavy weighted, actually they weigh no more than a small saucer dish. I'd read that along the way But I'm still so amazed when I carry Selma, very sturdy, very light. Thanks for the words of encouragement on her!
