Hurrah I managed to finish rooting a head.

I tried posting on my ipad the other day but that doesn't seem to have worked, never mind , must be doing something wrong.

I have at last finished rooting a dolls head. I have been doing some dolls with painted heads as rooting takes me so long.
The doll I have finished I had originally intended to paint but now the rooting is done I am so glad I took the time to root. The sculpt is Fei Yen and she has turned into a lovely sort of mixed race baby. This one is supposed to be 22-23 inches so I've ordered the body accordingly and hope it works out that size. At the moment her head in in a cup waiting on the glue drying. She has wonderful dark brown glass eyes , can't wait to put her together.

In the meantime I have a little Molly Marie boy on ebay

Here Ben

I now have to chose the next head in the rooting queue. There is usually a queue of heads, some dolls I feel just have to be rooted.



I am also nearing completion of another Adrie sculpt, the newly released Thandie. I do have some lovely curly mohair so this ethnic baby is going to jump ahead in the rooting queue and get hair next. The mohair is the beautiful soft one by Susan Nagel, really looking forward to using it in dark brown black.
