Another class sample complete

yes-i-make-mistakes-big-ones

The doll that just needed a few things to be completed is now very different. I painted the eyes but hadn’t gotten around to setting the paint when a drop of water caused one eye to run. Unlike embroidered eyes I couldn’t pick out the thread and start over so other than throwing her into […]
