Flat faced
I 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.

Posted by: Sherry Goshon at August 7, 2007 7:34 PMShe 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.
Posted by: shashi at August 7, 2007 10:43 PMOh Judi
I dont believe these flat faces were ever your nemesis- this is such a beautiful flat face - if only I could do one as gorjas as this one I would be over the moon as you is!!
Judi shes GORJAS
love n hugs bear oxoxxoxo
Judi she is stunning! You made a masterpiece. But I think all your work is wonderful@
Posted by: nita at August 7, 2007 11:26 PMShe is lovely, wonderful!!
Posted by: kerry at August 8, 2007 12:53 AMShe'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!
Posted by: Kai at August 8, 2007 1:37 AMI think you did a wonderful job on her face, Judi! Her eyes are beautiful and serene!
Posted by: Christie at August 8, 2007 5:37 AMShe is a beauty. Strikingly beautiful!!! Look out world!!! Judi is conquering her fears!!!!
Posted by: Auntie Linda at August 8, 2007 6:01 AMWell, 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!
Posted by: maryo at August 8, 2007 6:15 AMShe'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.
Posted by: Gerry at August 8, 2007 6:37 AMJudi- that face is wonderful! You have no reason to fear flat faces from now on- looks like you got it down pat.
Posted by: Linda Fleming at August 8, 2007 8:05 AMHi there. I just wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for the "Nice Matters Award". But no obligation.
Posted by: Gerry at August 8, 2007 8:32 AMWOOOHOOO Great face. Love her face.
Love & Hugs

Judi, I find it impossible to believe you had a problem with flat faces! This face is exceptional!
Posted by: Stephanie at August 9, 2007 8:29 AMI love your work! A dried bean behind the middle of the face fabric cures the flat symdrome.
Posted by: Cynthia at August 12, 2007 4:02 PMBeautiful face Judi!
Posted by: Tami at August 15, 2007 8:01 PMWhat a beautiful face Judi. Such a charming doll.
