Dollieh Sanctuary

Me: Line up for faceups!

The victims:







^Anya went first and got some lipstick, which was a bit difficult since that head doesn't actually have any lips.



Rosiel: I'm frightened.

Clover: Aw, it's okay. I've been through this before.

(Clover was there to get her makeup fixed, but I got so frustrated with Rosiel's faceup that I never got around to her.)



First eyebrow went on PERFECT. Freaking perfect... Second eyebrow had to be wiped so many times that a gray stain built up pretty thickly and couldn't be removed





^ Finally, a semi-ok eyebrow is on the face and staying there.

And, here's him all put back together:



His wig is crooked because I was in a hurry to get a picture, LOL. Most of the gray stain is hidden under his wig.

Rosiel: Good thing Katan isn't here yet. I couldn't stand to have him see me like this!! *runs away crying*

So, yeah... the Apple B head is going to be repurposed for Nix, and Rosiel will be getting a new head.

Sounds so familiar.
I think it has something to do with the right eyebrow (left eye as seen from the doll herself) being a sooo much easier line to follow if your right hand is your dominant hand. I ALWAYS do that one first and I ALWAYS struggle with the second eyebrow...

Next time... I am going to lightly sketch both eyebrows in pencil, then trace over them in paint. I can't believe I didn't think of that before.

It sucks, I know. But has that stain come off anymore at all? Hate to see a good head get stained because of stoopid left eyebrows. lol

Gah, eyebrow symetry is a pain. I say that we need separately available eyebrow decals. But I think his lips turned out nicely.
Hmm, maybe watercolor pencils can help? I know that some stores sell them individually.

No, I haven't done anything to try to get it off... I'm not even sure what to try. Magic Eraser?

Yeah, I liked how the lips came out

I mixed a drop of red paint with 4-5 drops of acrylic gloss and itturned out a shiny pretty pink ^__^

Try that, rubbing alcohol, or if it's really in there get some Remove Zit.

Eyebrow decals, what an excellent idea, I vote pro ^^

Now only if the said decals looked natural like they were actually painted on and doesn't peel off...

About the stained head, you can probably use sandpaper as a last resort, but if you don't have respirator mask thingy, it's probably a bad idea (plus the eyebrow area might end up looking weirdly uneven.)
