Cassie and her bonnet

Well I finally finished little Cassie and her bonnet also. She looks so sweet in that bonnet. It was a great touch. It makes her look so vintage. This is one of the best dolls I think I have ever made so far. This experience was definately full of new techniques that filled my creative world with joy.  I am sure that it will get better as time goes by. This is such a enjoyable time in my life.

Cassie's Body Completed

Cassie finally has her body done. I am thinking about adding oils over her arms and legs. Mainly because I want to add details to the shoes and I can't seem to get the arcylic paints to do what I want to do.  The oils take soooooooo long to dry but they give me the result I am looking for so what is a girl to do. Wait! Last night I read a post on the Izannah Walker site by Deanna http://blueherondolls.blogspot.com/ 
about using color pencils for shading but I have not tried that technique as yet.
