The little repro head is done
Here is the finished head. I used Texture Magic and a comb to create the hair - it didn't come out as neatly as I hoped. I was trying to recreate the look of the molded vinyl hair. You can also see that when the iron-on face was stuffed the paint seems to have that crackle look to it. Which might be a good thing for an antique repro. Now to attach it to the body and get her dressed!
I couldn't see the crackle even at the greatest enlargement, Judi. I think you're right though, it seems fitting for an antique repro. And she's really darling....hurry and get her finished!

Posted by: kerry at May 29, 2007 12:58 PMWell, I think she looks great! You did a good job on both her hair AND her face, Jude! It'll be fun to see her all assembled! What's Texture Magic, by the way? Nevermind, don't tell me! The LAST thing I need is another new 'toy'!
Posted by: Kai at May 29, 2007 1:42 PMAmazing, I am liking that very much!
Posted by: Sandra Walker at May 29, 2007 2:01 PMI think the texture is great. If you want it to be more "neat" then maybe you could try a mask from the blue painters tape, or something else that wouldn't lift off the painted face. Hmm, I wonder if that liquid mask that they sell at Dick Blick would work? At any rate the baby doll is looking cool!
Posted by: Tami at May 29, 2007 2:56 PMWhoa... this really IS a departure for you, isn't it! I hope you're having fun with it though. I can't see the crackling either... is it really that subtle?

Posted by: JudiA at May 29, 2007 8:33 PMI am not a big babydoll person - but these reproductions of alabama indestructables and Columbians are my newest favorite... you did a great job with the head.. I have never used an iron on face before.. you must post the link to the pattern when your friend publishes it.
P.s. I can't see crackling either
