I have completed a Cora for a friend of mine since I posted last but I haven't taken any photos yet so I will post some when I have them. This is my latest baby Janine by Romie Strydom, I decided to try painted hair on her and I was really pleased with how it turned out, then I rooted over the top. I never understood why anyone did that but I do now I think it looks a lot better. I also gave her a textured finish which I will try to show as best I can in the photos so you can see what I mean. Janine was a custom order and has already been given to her new mum who was very pleased with her. I didn't make a lot of money on her and probably would have done better listing her on ebay but it was worth it to see how much her new mum loves her. I have my friend Angela coming over to my place tomorrow for a morning of painting I can't wait, she has never reborned before but hearing me go on and on about it she has now become hooked and has decided to give it a try. I started my toddler Adrie Stoetes Nathalie today, I was a little unsure of quite where to start and what colours to mix but I thought oh well I'll just jump in and have a go and I am happy with how she looks so far, I can't wait to have her all finished because she is one I am doing just for me. I got her kit as a birthday present and it is such a great feeling reborning a doll you know you are keeping. I bought her an outfit the other day (another bday present lucky me) it is so cute, not sure how I'll go with shoe size, I am thinking of taking her leg into the store but also wary of people thinking I am nuts. Sorry my posts are always a mish mash of different things but I don't post here as often as I'd like so it all tends to be blurted out at once.
Hugs Andie
She's adorable! Wow you did an awesome job on the skin texture as well. Would have loved to see pics of the painted hair.
