mistakes

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. (scott adams)

so continuing on from my last blog, i was putting the eyelashes on becca and polly (eilidh decided she prefers polly and refuses to be called anything else), and decided that tiera could do with a new set, because hers were looking decidedly scruffy. they came off easily enough, but when i tried to take the glue off, her eyeshadow came off with it. big chunks. there was nothing to do but wipe her down and start again.

after my problems with becca and polly i was understandably nervous, but tiera is a much more cooperative soul and came back the first try. i am actually quite happy now that i had to redo her. she is still definitely my tiera, but her face is softer, i’m getting better at eyebrows, and apparently she has been sneaking outside without sunscreen, because she has a light dusting of freckles on her nose now. i love her new look but you can judge for yourself

here she is before:

and after
tiera's new look

now i’m psyched and think that ananada ans ellyce could do with a new face!……..but maybe not today 🙂

failure

If at first you don’t succeed, you are running about average.

that seemed an apt quote for what i’ve been doing lately. i want to get an etsy store up and running but i seem to be running in circles instead. i’ve been making up a bunch of crocheted hats for pukifee and littlefee sizes (sneak peak under crochet) so i decided i should get faces on some of my other kids to give me a wider range of models.

i finally got my littlefee pipi and bid elin done after three days and 3-4 wipes each. i kept getting fuzz in the msc no matter how carefully i cleaned (i want a hermetically sealed room for faceups! :lol:) i’m very pleased with the results but if these had been my first face-ups. i’m not sure i’d have ever tried again.

anyhoo, here is becca (iplehouse bid elin)
becca

and eilidh???
eilidh2
my red-haired freckly girl seemed to cry out for a celtic name so i have tentatively called her eilidh (eh-lee) but i’m not completely sold on it. she still may end up as polly which was her planned name, i just don’t know. any thoughts?

to be continued….
