February doll what will she be? Something sweet...

Im working on my February Doll...I always try to do Valentine and Halloween dolls...This little girl was giving me "big" problems! I loved her face ...but the morre I looked t her, Something was very wrong..she just wouldn't speak to me. then I saw itt...her eyelids disappeared making her eyes look too huge AND UNREALISTIC...EVEN THOUGH SHE IS A FAIRY WITH POINTY EARS, I STILL WANT HER TO BE HUMAN LIKE!

Her face was already painted and her eyes glossed with triple thick..ugh!!! The only thing i could do, was build on to tthe eye's wiith paper clay...then lightly sand the lids into the painted face...I used my micro polishing swabs to do this trick...wow Paperclay is amazing! Im so much happier at the way she looks...i'm glad I took the time and the chance of wrecking her..its always worth it..in the end!

Your fairy doll is beautiful. I love your style of ball joint dolls. The fox is charming and I admire your animal dolls too. You have an exquisite style that is so very lovely.

That's an amazing transfomation with the eyes. Her expression changes from staring to dewy-eyed sweetness. Paperclay for the win! The fox is really exciting!

Hello, my name is Ana Keilah, I live in Brazil. Congratulations for your work. I need a help, I really want to learn the face and body sculpting miniatures for modeling wedding couple with wedding outfits, wedding dress, etc. ..... But to approximate the maximum with the face, I need to know how I look on google those who teach graphics to draw the face and body. You guide me how I can find to make the thumbnails and proportionate measures were very similar to the human face mainly through pictures. Thank you! My email is queila_barbosa@hotmail.com. I got no work done yet, but I breathe this link, http://www.reginastraub.com.br/
Unfortunately it's not working with artisan graph is self didactically, so I'm looking for someone to help me in the outside world. Sorry for my english, I can not speak the language, I communicate with only a few words, the tool I'm using google translator.
Nice to meet you.
Ana Keilah

Hello, i do love your beautiful doll here! But i wonder if I could ask one question please! How do you get the arms to attach to the body at the top without the wire showing on the outside of the arm?!!
All the pictures of wooden and clay dolls i've seen, you can see the end of the wooden pin on the outside of the arm and your way is so much neater?! Thankyou so much
