I am so frustrated. I was all done with my Summer Rain…putting on the finishing touches…getting ready to root eyelashes when I saw a shiny spot over her ear. I realized I must have gotten paper glaze on her ear, so I tried to wipe it off. It was still wettish, and the paint came off with it…right down to the vinyl…
I’m going to try and correct it with powders, but if I can’t I’ll have to strip the head. She already has prisma hair and everything. All I can say to the good is that I handle these things much better than I did when I was a young woman. There was a time when I probably would have thrown the head across the room and run off in tears. (And yes, I used to be that whacked out!) Now I just take it all in stride. Life has a way of showing you that this sort of frustration is not worth getting upset about. Now…how am I going to fix this. Hmmm. It’s a chance to learn something, right?
Don’t hold your breath. I have a history of my mistakes landing on a shelf forever. There are so many beautiful, undamaged kits calling my name that it’s hard to settle down and fix a wrecked one.
Well she’s in the oven baking. I’ll have to see what happens. I have “remained calm and carried on” so we’ll see if this works out. She has some paper glaze on her lips, etc, so I am pretty concerned about what may happen in those areas. I am treating it as a learning experience. (I wish I didn’t have to learn so “ding-dong” much the hard way!
Oh, and then I went to gather everything to put her together tomorrow and I don’t have a body. I had to order one. I love that flat rate shipping, but when you are only ordering one item, it isn’t such a good deal.
