So I’m painting a Shasta Winters (elf baby). He’s adorable - only 8". But now that I have him, I’m realizing my normal mottling methods aren’t going to work on him. He is so tiny!
Can anyone show me their tiny micros? Especially details like hands, feet, closeups of skin? Thanks!
I made a smaller mottling sponge with tinier holes. Here are by Bean and Sprout. They were painted with air dry. I don’t have any close-ups of hands and feet but can get some later if I think of it.
Wow. Both of these little beans are just precious.
Thanks!!
aww Shasta is the first reborn kit I ever painted from scratch! She is so so cute.
idk if this is helpful, I made mine blue!
she’s inspired by Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe
Oh, she’s beautiful
My little Maria was only 12" and she was tricky. Especially the nails. The little Berenguer mini 9 1/2" is the smallest one I’ve done. The picture’s a bit blurry. I do like the itty bitty ones, though.
Precious.
Ooops Sorry, I just saw that is thread was from November… A day late and a dollar short… as usual… 
No, this is great! Beautiful work!
Thank you… ox They were all done back between 2014 and 2016… so a while ago… 
A few more of mine. I love the itty bitty ones.
10" Berenguer
Does anyone else find hair rooting on these little rascals extremely tedious… I have small hands but still had a hard time keeping control of the wee heads trying to root them. 
I didn’t have much trouble with the hair but the nails were a different story. I liked that the rooting didn’t take very long because the heads are so small. Also, I use air dry paints so I don’t heat my heads. I fill them with polypellets up to the neck flange, then pack them in tightly with a paper towel. It keeps the vinyl from giving and I hardly ever break a needle. I’ve never used a rooting pillow.
Oh my gosh. These babies are beyond gorgeous. I’m struggling my way through my little guy, LOL. I’ll post when I have time to work on him some more.
