Nekome had her original Luts faceup and to me it looked too pale and simple so after considering a while, I wiped it off. After doing that I noticed she had seam lines on the sides of her head (marked with red arrows on the picture) and because I am a perfectionist, I had to sand them away. Much better! The seam lines makes me feel yikes because I want my dollies to look realistic and how many human have you seen with seam lines, eh? (For the same reason I dislike tan dolls ´cause I can`t remove the seams!). I also commissioned a new pair of eyes to her, stunning Enchanted Doll Eyes in gorgeous violet colour.
But without further blabbing, here are the pictures:

Moving on to Stella (formerly Coraline), her faceup was one of my earliest attemps and allthough I had made it with care, it was too quite blank and soulless. Instead of wiping it all off, I continued it with braver colours and fuller lashes. I don`t like the eyebrows I did back then but didn`t want to start all over again so I left them as they are at least for now. I will re-do the faceup sometimes but not for a while. She had new eyes too from ED, but I did not have them at the time I took the pictures of the faceup.

The last there was Mimi the cat, who`s face-up was barely a faceup at all, so little had I done. Again, I was bolder and among other things I gave her bigger nose. I think she looks sweet and definitely has more character now.

So, what do you think?
Now when the faceups are done I can start sewing clothes to match the new personalities. More about that later so stay tuned!
