Usually when I finish a doll, I am finished. I don’t go back. But now I’ve done it twice in a week. hmm.
This doll is now this doll-
It was a problem with the glasses and eyes. I was never satisfied with them. And several people didn’t get that she was wearing glasses- clearly not working. I’d been looking at her and thinking change for a while. Finally, last Friday, she got new glasses and new eyes too.
I brought her down from the studio to photograph. As I was looking at her through the camera, I saw a tiny hole in the dress- I couldn’t believe it! How could I have missed it? That is what happens with recycled clothing- there is probably a reason they ended up in the thrift shop. Anyway, back to the studio and now she has dots. I love dots.
And this doll- the fairy baby. I was looking at her at the market and this was really bothering me-
The pinks and the yellow orange combo was not working for me- at all. I picked it out today and changed it to this-
And I added a few little lines into the blue butterfly. Small changes but I am happier with it.
I went back to my original post of the fairy baby and just changed the photos and added a note- seems sort of a blog no-no. But I couldn’t decide… it was a recent post and that makes it seem less sinful. Any opinions on this?

I like what you did with the girl’s glasses-they do look better. The spots look good on the dress too. I think changing the photos on your blog is fine-it’s your blog. Putting an explanatory note is nice-it will save people like me thinking they are going mad!

Her new glasses and eyes are great…no doubt about the glasses now!

Much better with the glasses and as with the changes in photos of your fairy baby, I went back to see the overall effect with the old colour combo but you changed it so I couldn’t compare. And yes, it is your blog and you can do what you want. The purple/pink does look nicer.

I have to say I didn’t see the glasses before, but now they’re right on. The spots really brighten her up a little. Funny how little things make such a huge difference. Love her!

Only one thing comes to my mind:
If I was a millionaire I would buy all your art work and decorate my children’s nursery with it.

She’s pert and studious!

I think this is a definite improvement! She was a cutie before, but to me, she looked a bit cross.
I probably would have put a patch on the hole. You have a lot of patience!

Lovely dolls! It’s funny. I’ve just spent too much time creating a pair of papercut glasses for one of my cards. I didn’t get it right the first… or second time, either. Tricky, but you’ve done it!

dots AND stripes are always my favorites. and yes, definitely read as glasses this time…..
I liked the yellow and orange with the pink, but when I looked at the whole baby, I can see why you changed it…(and the original is still there in the group shot)….
As to the legality of it all….I hope there aren’t blog police out there. I am sure I would have a couple misdemeanors by now!!
