Flat faced


myaI am working on two of Sherry Goshon's patterns. They both have flat faces, gulp. My nemesis. These are really hard for me because I can't seem to get nice noses. But, hey, check this out ... I tried to copy the face diagram pretty faithfully and then did my own version of shading. I got a bit carried away with the tear ducts, but it's not half bad! YAY! Now I feel confident enough to tackle the face for the Charmed One. Phew.

Have you noticed I'm getting over my bald doll phobia? I actually took her photo without a wig on! How about that!

I am SO used to simply *knowing* that all the faces you do just ARE pretty that this is a little weird... she is beautiful Judi. But you already knew that. :-) Just started my own Charmed One, but I have so far to go to catch up.

She is just so stunning. You know you can paint a flat face equally well as a 3D. Your doll is going to turn out stunning.

She's SO PRETTY! What on EARTH made you think you can't paint flat faces? Bah, humbug! And, like Judi A., I just STARTED my Charmed One. I just hope I can get mine ASSEMBLED correctly! The face will be the FUN part! (I think.) Anyway, your doll face is GREAT!

Well, I don't see a bit of fear or hesitation in the way you did this face, Judi! You ARE the Little Engine That Could! I don't think thee is anything you couldn't do...and do it well!

She's very pretty. And I like her nose. You've done a great job with her eyes. They are lovely. You don't give yourself enough credit.

Judi- that face is wonderful! You have no reason to fear flat faces from now on- looks like you got it down pat.

Judi, I find it impossible to believe you had a problem with flat faces! This face is exceptional!

I love your work! A dried bean behind the middle of the face fabric cures the flat symdrome.
