Aw I like the pouty lips! The first ones were good too, but then again, I love dolls with full lips. Fantasy-style ears and full lips...

What did you use to do her freckles?

[Evelien]

Watercolour pencils. I did those with watercolour pencils the first time too, but this time I was a bit more impatient I guess..

Thanks guys!

She looks great! Those lashes are incredible. Was it hard getting them on? I have to admit I've never tried putting lashes on a head that small.

The freckles are a bit 'stripey' but to be honest it doesn't bother me and the color looks good. I know the pic in your avatar is old but I really like her expression there..She looks like she's giggling about some prank she just pulled and waiting to see the results.

Thanks . Now that I'm seeing her in daylight I'm AGAIN not satisfied though haha. I think the overall look is a bit too smudgy, not clean enough, if you know what I mean. I'm sure I can do better but I'm leaving her this way for now. My big Obitsu will come soon, I'll get a spare head to practice on and after that I'll get to Eiki again. I think a little change will be good ^^

And thanks for the comment about my avatar! I really like it too, but I'm afraid my big Obitsu will claim that spot once she gets here

Oh, forgot to say something about the lashes, no, in fact they're not too hard to put on. I used glue for human eyelashes and trimmed and curled them before applying them. You need tweezers to do it though, I couldn't do it with my fingers.

When doing freckles, (I just did a face-up for a Hujoo Suve with freckles) I like to have some toothpicks on hand, and a little dish of water. You can clean up an individual freckle by soaking the end of the toothpick in water (tap it on the bottom of the dish, so it becomes a bit softer) and daubing at the unwanted paint. I turned "stripy" freckles into 2 separate freckles, or rounded out ones that weren't so bad.

[Evelien]

Oh, great idea! Thanks for the tip!

I love both face ups you did, each had a very different feel. Great Job!

I'm not sure if you found the magic eraser or not yet, but here it is:

I know you don't live in the USA but here, they are in the paper and chemicals sections at walmarts/targets/whatever.

Thanks!
I haven't been able to find them here, so I bought a set of 4 on eBay for $0.99 lol! They haven't arrived yet though
