terrible lighting....annoying camera

My progress

(or lack there of)

So, above is the recent shot of the face plate

for Daria's customization

Aside from the terrible lighting

and annoying camera

(I am sooooo over this Olympus FE 310

and have put on my Christmas wish list

THIS

Canon EOS 7D

a girl can dream, right?

So there it is..out there into the universe

a huge wish)

sigh

O.K. back to the face plate

What you cannot tell from the shot

urrggghhhhh

is that there are several layers already

of chalk, and MSC

better known as

Mr. Super Clear

....

I know...

It's hard to see much difference

from that 

to this one below

that I shot right after the carving & sanding

and you were not here

to witness the application of paint

to the lips..

the wiping off..

the reapplication of paints..

the wiping off!!!!

then the decision..

to use mainly chalk

and highlight with a bit of paint

Of course, the chalk color I need

hmmmmmmm, I did not originally order..

However,

there really IS a difference...

But I cannot go any further

until arrival of said NEW chalk

So we wait.

I don't intend to use a heavy hand

with this girl.

It will be light and as natural 

as I can get it.

and then

her eye chips will be changed.

Ohhhhhhh, I have some luscious eye chips

yes I do.

and she will have wispy eyelashes

then the decision comes about hair.

She may receive her same wig back

you know, the one I cut and styled

a nano second after she arrived

here back in 2007.

She looks fab with dark hair.

OR

she may get the dusty pink mohair wig

that I first hoped to use

 Isn't it delicious???

Christine Kennison created it

(known as Unicornmine on Flickr) 

with a great process she calls

Skinny Scalps

and you can find here HERE

I won't really know which hair to use

until Daria's make-up

is completed 

and her eyes are in.

All in all, I can say the process is interesting

and rather exciting

My very first Blythe Custom

possibly my last.
