Dollieh Sanctuary

Y halo thar. So glad you could join me!

I've been busy applying a faceup (my first!) to my new doll, an AoD Yuki in yellow skin. I took a few pictures to share, and would love some feedback!

(hope no one takes offense at the dollieh nipples...I figured they would be acceptable since there is no sexual connotation in these pictures)












Thanks for looking! I'd love to hear what you think of it (and any recommendations you might have).

A beautiful face up! Very well done.

You've done a fabulous job. I really like the detailing you gave the body.

You've done a brilliant job of both face and body!

Really beautiful work!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words! Now I have enough confidence to try something more radical with a blank floating head I have moping around here somewhere

Though, when I was doing this faceup I had trouble with the eyelashes. I didn't want to put the base of the lashes on the rim of her upper eyelid, since it would take away a precious mm of openness from her eye, and since they're already half-closed, it makes a lot of difference. So I glued them on so that the eyelash base is just inside her eye (the way most people seem to do it), but it makes her eyes push on her lashes a little, which makes the lashes look a bit uneven and wonky, like she slept on them wrong (though this doesn't really show in the pictures). Though it could just be that I was too impatient, and put her eyes in before the glue was fully dry

Anybody have any recommendations regarding lashes? Any favorite tips and tricks? All advice is appreciated!

Wonderful! I love those French tip nails.

Amazing detail! I like the mani and pedicure too. That reminds me, Amiga is in need of a mani-pedi herself...
