Working on my Charles

Now since the Christmas craziness of doll making is settling down, I’m making a Christmas present to myself.
I am making 5 babies one of each of my kiddos to look like when they were babies, I have make 2 so far, of Willow and Ivy, I was going to use Vivienne Fabre for my Violet doll, but she turned out too red so I’m going to sell her (Violet has orange head so the complexion doesn’t work out together)

I’ll get back to finding a sculpt for Violet.
For my son Logan I want a Luciano, looks identical to him when he was born. Wish is could paint hair because he only had teeny little hair and hair down to his eyebrows all the dark brown peach fuzz like.

Now of my first born Alex I am making myself a Charles, he looks exactly like him in my mind of how I remember him and I can wait to give him his thick black dark brown hair on top!
So exciting.
Just wanted to chit chat lol
Hope everyone has a great day!
Hugs
Katie

I think it is so cool that you can do that. I hope to someday be able to make portrait babies from my three children.

It really does bring back memories! As I was painting Charles earlier it made me remember small details about him as a newborn that I had forgotten!

Here’s my little Vivienne that turned out too red for Violets portrait doll because it wouldn’t work with her orange hair. But she’s so cute I am supposed to sell her, some day lol

WOW! That sounds like such a great project! Just looking back to when they were wee little ones is rewarding in it’s self. I am wishing you the best and hope you enjoy.

This little cutie is the over all look I’m going for on my Presley Asleep. Can I ask how you achieved it? She’s beautiful

She has her eyes glancing to the side to give her more character:) as for color I wasn’t used to the vinyl color because I usually paint Bountiful Baby kits so the orange kit threw me off, and she’s too red

I don’t think she looks too red at all. I’ve seen lots of real babies with this coloring. She’s adorable!
