3 Beautiful angels and more!

 

 

Here are some of the most beautiful angels in the world! They truly have the cuddle factor! Here's the highlights on these girls!

 

Abra (Jolina) sculpted by Manuela Muth has Designeraugen glass eyes (black/blue) that are just awesome with her hand applied eyelashes! She has 3/4 limbs and is 19 inches long (knees bent). She's breather and was  micro-rooted with some fabulous "Dark Neutral" brown baby soft hair from TNGUN. She has her ears pierced has veining and a wonderful baby scent. She weighs  3 lbs. 11 ozs. and the sweetest angel this side of Heaven!

Pressli Dawn was Cecilia sculpted by Sheila Michael is just a beautiful newborn! Gorgeous LDC Designer glass eyes (antique Grey) just sparkle with her hand applied light brown eyelashes to accent! She's a breather, with micro-rooted wispy "Medium brown" hair from "Slumberland Nursery". She has little baby scratches on her nose and cheek, so her nails were just trimmed! With 3/4 limbs she is 18 inches long (knees bent) and her ears are pierced. She has the cutest (non-popping) spit bubbles  and a wonderful baby scent She weighs 4 lbs. 5 ozs. and truly one that is angel sweet!

Chane' l was Madeleine sculpted by Birgit Gutzwiller has gorgeous honey brown textured skin, closed eyes, 18 inches long, 3/4 limbs, a breather, Micro-rooted with gorgeous Dark brown / black mohair baby soft hair from TNGUN head and hand rooted eyelashes, ears are pierced, and her nails have that just trimmed look. She has (non-popping) spit bubbles! Along with veining and textured skin! She weighs 4 lbs 2 ozs. with baby scent! She is truly a little angel that anyone can love! All babies have Bountyful Baby doe suede bodies! They are now on my website and available for adoption! I've had so many inquires about them, I just stopped their portfolios and did a collage of what was done just to get them on there! LOL

On a sad note, I am going to redo poor little Felicia just one more time I just cannot make myself like her skin tones, I tried but no matter what I am told, just can't (Type A/B personality for sure). ON an upbeat note...I just love how her hair turned out. I don't want mess it up either! She became a headache when the air dry paints that she was done in (initially beautifully I might add) refused to stick/cure, so it's been a losing battle to get back to the skin tone like it was with them.  Hummm, she looks even worse to me in this picture, UGGGGGGHHHHHhhhh, it's truly a done deal! REDO cause she despirately needs a home with a forever mommy!!! (not funny)

 I also started in on 1st Peep by Charlotte Parry as an AA baby. I've been waiting to do her for like forever! I think that she's gonna be adorable!!!

Life gets in the way again...

First I want to wish everyone a safe and HAPPY 4th of July! Be careful with the fireworks and don't eat to much BBQ! We just got back from my sister's celebrated a day early! Food was deelish!

Now about life...
My husband spent a week in the hospital due to fluid buildup due to his bad heart and it was on the other side of town. Running back and forth really takes time out of your day and energy! Prayerful and thankfully he has gotten out and has lost a lot of fluid so he is much more comfortable and a lot thinner 2 weeks later. Now I am on antibiotics due to a tooth abcess and happily waiting for a tooth extraction next week (a very expensive tooth I might add considering a root canal, crown and $1600 later oh did I mention the bone graphs). I am now looking at about the same amount for the extraction and a partial to replace it, the tooth probably should have been pulled at first. Oh well who knew?

The good news is that I am learning proper color mixing techniques in my class and getting the pretty brown shades instead of muddy-what-the-heck-is-this. It is so interesting how two colors can create a value that can go on and on by adding a little more each time and add orange and watch it totally change!


I will start painting on my canvas next class now that I have it drawn. It's a 3 hour class that goes by so quickly that it is unbelievable. I am trying to hold off painting AA's until I see what techniques I can apply with the paints that I already have. I will take my primary colors next class to get a true feel for them. Not saying that I won't be using my premixes, but I can sure enhance them when doing my AA babies! I am very very tempted to start painting my caucasian and asian babies that have been waiting, patiently I might add, but every time I get all set, something happens. They had their baths weeks ago! I have always believed everything happens for a reason...I believe this better be a real good one! lolrothf So my thought is I keep getting slowed down (some how that doesn't sound like proper english but you get the message) not knocked out. I have hope!

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie

YEAH!!! Guess who finally got all of his hair!

Keanu is so happy!!! He gave me a run for my money but I think that he turned out quite well. He even got to go outside (with the rest of his body in tow! LOL)

So what do you think, almost ready for adoption? Have to do his portfolio now! Then he can have a DOB and TOB!

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie

It's a Boy (almost)!

Keanu Reeves is one of my all time favorite actors, did I forget to say "Hunk", and for some reason this Jannik sculpt put me in mind of him (if he was finished; tight and bright dark eyes, fair skin, full lips, dark hair and a very happy baby). He has gorgeous Lebanese features:

This is what I feel like one of his children might look with a little of mom and a lot of dad, my opinion I know, even if he doesn't put you in the moment and it's just my little vision, I like the idea of a little Keanu, let's meet him. If you are shy or easily shocked don't stare too long, cause it's a BOY! :


The Beginning...I have taken his "progress photos" with my new D 3000 Nikon :


The sculpt is Jannik by Master Artist Birgit Gutzwiller from Little Dolldreams Collection, his facial features looked so alert and screamed B-O-Y. I am reborning him using LDC permanent air dry paints. I switched his original limbs and added Sheila Michael's anatomically correct torso because it seemed that it was made for him. It has happy hands (full limbs) that look like they might say "I just want to touch everything".

Here he has had his first few layers...he will have 20mm eyes in Oriental brown (because he would have his father's beautiful dark eyes wouldn't he?)

Now he's got more coloring, he has human hair eyelashes and I have put in his eyes. I shot this yesterday right before it started getting dark outdoors and the next one outdoors from today).

His Binky is now functional, so he's very happy. Gotta do his nails and eyebrows!

All done with his nails, got them sealed off to do his eyebrows while his nails dry. This is an outdoor shot today, oddly enough it was very overcast. Thank God that I got this one right before it started to sprinkle. We've been getting a lot of rain the last few days!

I'll be back with more shortly!

Update:

He's got the sweetest little dimples...the cutest little tongue and I think that he's trying to teeth! I have to do his creases and little fat folds. Then I will start on his hair. I decided to use the natural black Alpaca  (it's beautiful just like his virtual dad's hair) on him too, it's just sooo soft. I can't wait to see the contrast with his skin tone.


So this is skinny of what I have been doing for the last few days. I told you I was getting back into my groove! LOL Well, brought you up-to-speed on little Keanu! He will have his own page like little Jack with the rest of his progress so stay tuned!  Now that I've got him started, I'll need to get started on little "Jack".

From my heart to yours... Hugs, Judie
