I didn't do terriibly much on this one, as she is going to live with my daughters best friend (thus the bling on the cheek to match Charlie's bling)
Work done:
* Sand matted
* carved nostrils, philtrum and lips
* chalk pastel face-up
*acrylic painted lips (watercolour pencil for middle of the ips)
* spray matted
* gloss varnished the lips
* cheek bling
* hair trimmed and ironed
I had a sad, tangled, filthy RNC that I got off eBay, so I decided to try cleaning her up and restyling her. I gave her a good scrubbing, washed her head in vinegar and treated the mould with bleach, re-dyed her pink hair, repainted her mouth, gave her pink blush, darkened up the purple of her eyes, and boil-permed her hair to try and control the frizz. She's wearing a Moxie Teenz Leigh dress which I think suits her. I also gave her red star earrings, since the RNC doesn't have the flashing red Jemstar earrings.
Rise of cobra Cobra commander with a removable mask and a slight repaint. weathered the chest armor. and repainted the skin.
When I liberated this dress from the bargain rail at Primark (which is a cheap shop in the first place) it had horrible gold buttons and an even more horrible gold-studded belt, but I could see the shape had potential (it looks great on, goes in and out in all the right places!) These heart-shaped buttons from my favourite sewing shop in Exeter came to the rescue, and I can see a bright future for it now, maybe with this thrown into the mix.

des tricoteuses et dentellières s'en sont donné à coeur joie pour réaliser ces customisations (exposées,à l'écomusée de Mulhouse)
the best bit of fun was handing the cupcakes out to be eaten..... trying to match elements with tenuous links to peoples' names. sometimes it took a bit of fudging (with actual fudge)
I carved the blybe faceplate first- but I wish I had carved more away!!! I found it was difficult to get the pastel to stick. I've read that airbrushes work better- Maybe its worth investing in one?? I've also ordered some alpaca to reroot her with and some new eye chips. Does anyone know how to wipe the face up???
