Finally decided on a quilt design for my Sherbet Pips today! Was so excited, I started cutting right away! :)
Pip and I headed up to Telemark (a x-country ski area in the Okanagan) to build a snow cave. There wasn't enough snow to build it, so while pip was digging out the cave, I shoveled snow on top of the cave. It collapsed on Pip during construction, so we gave up and slept on some pine bows. Later that night Josh showed up and rescued us with a tent. Overall: A great little adventure.
The new member of the pack. Pip is from Taiwan but the language barrier hasn't been a problem so far. Her name is short for Pipistrelle, a really cute little bat. She's got big ears like a bat, at least.
Ok! Yesterday I hunkered down and worked on another faceup for the new Peregrin, and I'm definitely happier with it, than the one I tried to do a couple of weeks back and the one he came with.
However! The Cristal sculpt is pretty funny, I have to say! For example, it's kinda lopsided... You see it best when the face is bare of paint, and doesn't have its headcap on. Also, the eyes are really deep-set! I could swear that I drew the eyebrows right onto the actual eyebrow ridge, yet when completed, they look like they were placed high on the forehead. This is because the eyes are so deep-set, there's still a good distance between the eye and the eyebrow ridge. :P
I like the lip, but they too are a challenge, when trying to do a boy's faceup. I ended up trying to tone them down, and making them very light.
I fell back on my pastel and pencil methods too, because my shoulders are still not relaxed enough to prevent shaking in my left hand (drawing hand). Pencils give me that extra bit of control.
So yeah... No fancy brushwork, but the Pip at the very least looks pretty and feels like MY doll.
I think O'Carollan was glad to see him though... :)
