I tried my hand at doing a face-up for the first time!

That's a first time? Wah, they're so pretty! I have a tan Darjeeling on the way myself.

[Lillies_Mom]

Yep, I love the way they turned out!  Now I'm not too scared to remove the (scuffed) original face-up from one of my other PukiPuki's and re-do it

[xkelpiex]

Can I ask where you bought your pukipuki's eyes?

[Lillies_Mom]

They came with her when I bought her from Denver Doll.

Beautiful job! How did you get the coloring so smooth? That's the part I really struggle with

[Lillies_Mom]

glory78I just used a medium fluffy paint brush and gently brushed chalk pastels onto their faces.  I scraped some off the stick, so it was powdery, and used a mix of peachy and pinks.  I also used water colors on their eye liner and water color pencils for their lashes and brows.

xkelpiex I've been drooling over the tan dolls myself!  I kinda wish I'd have bought one

That's what I think I'm doing, but mine come out so streaky...

Mine too  It just takes lots of practice I guess and a very very find hand

Your faceups are gorgeous! I love the subtle blushing and their rosy pink lips. So cute!

What wig is your Darjeerling wearing if you don't mind me asking? I am struggling to find any decent Puki wigs (unless they are made by Mindy of course )

My Puki Niko and PongPong arrived recently and demanded a group shot (poor Pong and her terrible + extremely overpriced wig )

Oh and Ante is perfect so I needed to share her and her new eyes (no more souless demon yay!)

*edit* haha I just realised Ante doesn't even move at all from photo to photo - it's because her hair is perfect and i didn't want to touch it

Where do you get your puki eyes, Cass? I am super eye shopping lately, haha.

Lily and Pong have their stock eyes and Ante/Niko are wearing 8mm glib acrylics from DDE. I think the glib acrylics are what fairyland use too

Good luck!

[xkelpiex]

Thanks! Glib is tempting because they're so cheap, too. I'm also looking at Captured in Glass eyes.

[Lillies_Mom]

CasseminaPie, she's wearing a wig from DDE

[NoDivision]

Goodness they're all so cute! See, now I am having conflicting thoughts. Do I want a pukifee or a puki puki? Decisions are hard!
