Putting on a New Face

Practice makes perfect people say but what if it only confuses me? Here are 11 doll heads that I have made for Valendrial and I still can't pick one of them for my second Valendrial doll. Note: The doll face on the top was painted by Patti Culea as a class demo.

Some of the faces are only half done. I am trying to get a perfect symmetry here but they turn out so different and so lopsided. I think I should first get to work and finish painting the faces and then pick the one I like the most. And maybe next time I should make just one head for each doll and learn to accept it. After all I can't do anything about my own face, now can I? And I have learned to live with that!

Oh my goodness, you've been super busy, haven't you? Your doll turned out great! (I, of course, haven't been able to catch up on any of my projects and still she sits, unfinished, in a box no less.) I love all of your practice heads!

Thanks Tami. I plan to finish my first doll by next week so I can bring her to the doll club. Maybe you can finish yours too. You were almost done with yours, weren't you?
Hugs..........heera
