Maggie~

Please meet my new little girl - Maggie!

I have been experimenting with my oil paintings and I really like how the features are becoming more realistic. I am layering the colors as I heat set and this creates a much smoother finish.

Would you honestly agree with me, by comparing my newly dolls with some of my early ones that you have notice any difference? I truly would love to hear from you. *grin*
I also decided to add eyelashes. Yes, Yes it is a pain in the neck but I think is well worth it.
The second picture is a close up. I am letting you double click and see it in an extremely large size so you can see the details. keep in mind the Maggie is equivalent a 5 years old child. She measured close to 4" tall before I sat her down.
thank you.....*grin*
Ps. Maggie will be list today on my ebay.

Dear Pat, as you know, I have followed your work for quite some time now, and have always been in awe of your talents! They are seemingly edless my friend. Yes, I can see a difference in the painting technique, and think it does give a more lifelike look to the finished piece! I am at a loss with eyelashes..they are also a royal pian in my rear end! haha but, I have not given up on them, I keep trying, and someday will make a set that pleases me enough to show. These look great! Her freckles look very realistic. I love little Maggies expression, she looks so innocent and sweet. XOXOX FaeWee Blessings, and warm hugs, Christel

Has conseguido darle un aspecto real, el tono de la cara, las pestañas esas pecas que hacen un rostro precioso.
Es un cielo de niña y se parece mucho a una que hay detras en una fotografia, quien sera?
besitos ascension

Patricia, she is so adorable. The way her head is tilted is so realistic. She has so much personality, as do all of your dolls. I enjoy seeing all of your creations!!
Take care,
