The total time up to now is 6 hours and 15 minutes which includes this head. It took me over an hour to apply three coats of gesso with light sanding in between coats. I had to then apply two layers of skin color over the gesso (with sanding in between coats again). Now that I have painted the face I know for sure that the head is too long for the body. It looks almost like a cone head. I will not give up on the doll though. I have already started my work on another torso. Thankfully this time the head is round and cute.
My questions are:
Should I add this extra time to the total?
Do messes like this get accounted into the end product?

yes and yes and How about the time the idea sits in the head incubating --long before you touch a piece of material? And all the time you spend trouble shooting when things don't go right so you can solve the problem? I think being an artist is 24/7 thing :) So I don't know how you not add up all those hours!!!
I totally agree with you Meera. You say it so well.
She's looking fabulous! Sure, you should definitely count all this time towards the final count.
I love the face!
Hi Heera,
Your doll is not a mess and you know in doll making there are no strict rules. I am sure you will find a way to make her to your satisfaction. Her face is lovely.
She is unique & looks beautiful . Some of us have long faces. Some , make long faces . So why not dolls ?
