So a few weeks ago I finished Lina's hair removal and bought another MH doll, did her faceup and cut her hair. Started on two others but haven't removed the paint yet. I'm putting all the MH dolls on hold atm so I can start working on my DDs more; and my little sister needs another dollar so she can buy some hands for the doll. Anyway, I have some important news to tell you all!
Maybe a month ago I found my old 03 head (you can buy one here) from the 27cm Dollfie incident. I was afraid to do a faceup on it because it came to me in 2010, and three years later I'd be dabbing paint on it, and I'd most likely mess it up. But I guess Lina's sharpie faceup and my new found experience with doll customization gave me some bizarre form of courage, because today I took my acrylic paints and did her faceup! Hooray! She's not the best, but she's done and perfect to me. Although someday I might redo it, I am very satisfied with this doll. My next post will be about my plans for her (will she be a DD or a mini girl? ...It is a mystery!) so if anyone is interested in her they'll have to wait until I have time.

"Painting" a Monster High... And we can't find the SEALANT?!
Okay, after watch the loads of MH repaints Nicolle's Dreams (her series is Faceup Stories) does on youtube, I've been obsessed with repainting. Problem? No acrylics. Other problem? Guys, we lost the sealant. We think it's in the craftroom or something. But still; we lost the sealant. Okay, maybe not exactly lost, but still. I think we're going to find it so I can seal my little Lina today.
I'll also tell you that Anjrea, the girl who does the faceup stories videos, doesn't use any paint. She uses Prismacolors. I had to use mildly cheap colored pencils. And a Quill pen for the eyes and brows. I was drawing on a blushed doll with a permanent marker. But luckily, she came out fine! It was just a matter of a steady hand and pressure control. She looks great.
But I still need some sealant. Maybe if we don't find it my dad will buy some when he goes back to Home Depot.
