Awww such cute Saskias. I’ve seen this kit painted a million ways, and they are unique and beautiful. And because of this, and the fact that I don’t feel like and can do anything different or better, I have always said I was not going to paint one.

Well, someone contacted me about a strip and redo for… wouldn’t you know it, Saskia. :joy: So I will be back to this thread for inspiration when I receive her.

Thank you everyone! I love all of them! They are all so different! My Saskia has had her bath and is now drying for a few days!

Thanks @AmyR777

Tomorrow I am priming Saskia with Liquitex UMG. :smile:
@DollyPardon Did you get the Saskia redo yet?

Just got her a couple of days ago, @AnnieSokay, thanks for asking. So far I’ve learned 3 things: 1. That red can stain vinyl. 2. That some people don’t believe in placing glass beads in a pouch. They were loose in the head- had fun pulling the stuffing out of there, let me tell you. :slight_smile: 3. That this is such a beautiful kit that I now see why everyone went nuts, although it’s a lot smaller than I expected.

I’m only 2 base coats in, so we may finish around the same time. Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours!

P.s. Special Moments made like 13 or 14 of them. They are all gorgeous. :smile:

My Birthday was in September but I finished Saskia late in December, still 2017, more like an after Christmas Present but here she is! Her combi hair and eyes are purple but not showing from my iPhone camera.

Thank you everyone for sharing your beautiful Saskia with me!

P.S. @colee1970 I was scared to put the teeth in! I did paint one coming in at the top though but you can’t see it from the angle I posted.

The teeth are pretty easy. Just stick the tip of the exacto knife down into the gum line where you want them. Then use your hemostats to hold the little teeth and shove the pointy end down in the slit. Then when you gloss the lips and mouth dab a little extra around the base to secure them in. Scared me to death at first but it really wasn’t hard.

I’ll have to try that on a cheaper baby first, lol. You can’t tell by the pic but she has drool inside and running down the side of her mouth, that would have been enough to hold teeth in. Thanks cause I am going to try that, maybe on Quinton, give him a reason to cry, lol.

Side note on Saskia. I have been looking at her for about a month and a half and there was something about her that I didn’t like. It was her body, it seemed out of proportion to her head and arms so I changed her body to BB 647 20’ and I love it. I also modified a paci for her.


New body
