I forgot to pimp her new eyes; she got 18mm black glass ones some time ago which fit like a charm and reflect light so well. She really does look like a little sharp-eyed bird now! Still needing a new wig from Dollga preorder (that’s still preparing, I really hope it comes before I travel to south for a week!) and those black resin wings. I tried making her tattoo but I’ll have to re-do it as I get new brushes from good ol’ Hobbypoint – all my current brushes are quite dead, and that tattoo is all too thick >_> Or maybe I should try ordering them online and counting which comes cheaper?

Hum, I dunno, blehhh…this one has nicer lower lashes as I bought even smaller brushes the last time I visited Hobbypoint. The lips look bit messy and I did those high-arched eyebrows again. But hey, practise is practise!

Alright, so I wiped off her previous eyebrows and did new ones. She looks quite serious now, which I quite like. I’ve been toying with the thought of buying her a third head, Ciel F02 which is the smiley, open-eyed version. But then I’m sure the Musedoll girls would laugh their butt off if I ordered the fourth Ciel head ;D

You can also see that Musedoll changed their resin again, it’s now more yellow than pink. Ah well, luckily it is not too noticeable when she is clothed.

I have the next Niko story ready and done, I should just translate it…I’ll do it tomorrow. I’ll talk about something else now.

I got Meital’s second head today from Musedoll, along with sweet letter: “Congrats, you own 3 Ciels now!” (No, just two, I sold that Ciel F02). No extra presents though for that, just nice postcards.

Anyway, one of my dreams related to this hobby is to learn to do the faceups of my dolls myself. It’s just frustrating – I’ve been in this hobby for a good while and can handle all the other aspects of this hobby like photography and sewing okay. But when it comes to faceupping, I feel like such a newbie. I have the eye and the vision, but I really lack the core skill of painting neat little lines. I mess up, wipe, curse, and even a simple faceup takes hours. But I really want to learn this thing, even if this takes me years! And I was brave and bought acrylics straight away and try to learn to use ‘em. Well, “nobody is a smith when born” like we Finns away, meaning that to achieve something, you’ll have to practise.

But today I achieved something: I made a faceup for Meital which I dare to show and say that hey, I did this. There are still so many things that need to be corrected, done better, done neater and uh…but at least I made a faceup that doesn’t bother me so much that I just want to wipe it off with my tears. It’s a start, no?
