Annabelle Lee

so, annabelle is close to done at this point. she only has two sets of eyechips right now. 2 more are on the way. i think i'll go with either a pink or a purple and maybe a milky white...? the ones she has now are blue and gray/black. :)

 

i'm really liking her. she's got her imperfections... mainly a slice by her lip. i am getting better at the actual carving but i still have wonky hands. i'm always SLIPPING with the freaking file and scratching the face.

 

i'm wondering what would happen if i put electrical tape on the dolls face around the lip area... lol? would that help at all? would the doll be sticky forever? i don't know... i'm just trying to think of a way NOT to scrape the hell out of the face while carving.

 

also, for those of you who carve lips... what tools do you use and where do you buy them?

 

i am pretty sure that the files i use came from prilly charmin... but, they sorta suck. i've broken a bunch of them... and,others arrived sort of broken (the sharp ends already snapped off a bit!). so, if anyone has a good source for carving tools... i'd love a recommendation.
