Micro Preemie Reborn

I am very excited that I actually had time to finish my preemie! She is so darn cute, I had to snap off some pictures of her. I still have to gloss her lips and nails, and make her some cute outfits, but she is just precious.

 

I might be keeping her. I know I will keep her while I make her outfits, so we will see about after that. I do think she is very cute and I love the way her painted hair turned out! I don't think that it's perfect, but I keep getting better each time I do it.

I especially love her brows and forehead. And her profile is just the sweetest. I rooted her eye lashes with black mohair. I can't wait to show her little outfits when I complete them!

Practice, Practice, Pra...oh well.

This morning started with me waking up and immediately thinking about my current project. And the fact that I probably won't be able to finish it. Michael decided to go back out on the road and now I am in a rush to get my stuff together for a trip with him and clean up my current craft mess. But anyway, I wanted to show progress on my little "Kyrin" sculpt and that I am painting her hair even before I finished her limbs simply because I wanted to paint her hair so badly.

 She was a pretty light kit, so I did have to add some colour to her.

 Light mottling veining and creases. Then I added my special layer on her nose, bridge and above her lips to give a rough texture

 Here is her hair partially painted.

 I had to use flash to find all the finer details that I have tried to depict. I am a very visual learner and after seeing some photos and practicing, I think that I have a good understanding of some basic realistic elements when trying to recreate the individual hairs

Like I said, she is a work in progress and I really hope that I will be able to complete her before we leave. Then I can take her with me and work on her little outfits that I want to make for her.

I was going to start on my two other kits before I decided to go out with Michael this time around, but they will be here when I get back.
