Hmmmm what a task

Well she is all painted and has a small amount of hair and what a task she has been so far. Ashton Drake vinyl is certainly not as paint friendly as the vinyl I'm used to. It took a lot of paint to make her look different and it didn't seem to suck the paint in as much as BB vinyl. No matter what I did she seemed shiny but I put some matt varnish on her and she is a lot better, still a tad more shiny than i would like though. She isn't ebay quality but she looks a lot better than she did before I am amazed that Ashton Drake can slap a little bit of blush paint onto skin colored vinyl without even painting the vinyl skin color and get away with charging people so much for it, and don't even get me started on the glued on hair, it is a discrace and if I knew then what I know now I most certainly would not have purchased her. The good news is my daughter has decided that she wants her for her birthday which is great because otherwise she most probably would have been put back in my wardrobe to gather more dust. I had to go over the veining so many times just to get the paint to stand out enough that they look a little disasterous but here she is. This is here all stripped and ready for painting

And here are a few shots of her painted and some of her with some hair, I still have a lot more hair to do. Plus these pictures make her look different than she actually does I find babies can tend to look red at certain times of the day and with different cameras but she isn't that red
