Eyelashes Ahoy!

Velma's eylashes arrived!!! For the Tonner dolls i can't use human-sized fake eyelashes. They always seem way out of scale. and by the time I trim them down to a reasonable length they look stumpy and weird instead of gracefully curled. So I used the "bottom lashes" from a set of porcelain doll eyelashes. Tah dah! A little exaggerated but not unreasonably so.

So I also had to get the super glue from out of the car and get to work attaching. That process always makes me nervous because it's one of those last-step things that if you f(&*% up you've ruined days of work. No pressure. But I get them on. Now she's ready to go. I'm so pleased with the way she turned out. she's def. a vast improvement on the original facepaint (but really anything would have been an improvement. The original paint is super-unatractive) Compare and contrast...




I also did some work on her hair--giving her bob more of an angled look so that it follows her jaw-line and making the bangs curve around her forhead so that they look more like gradual layering and less like a hard line.
