Repainting doll faces

[kazzy_cee]

I mentioned in my last post here that I had repainted the face on one of my doll's house dolls, and I thought people might like to see some before/after photos. Here are the weird/scary faces the dolls came with.

Prospective Sherlock Holmes


Dr Watson 'before'


Under the cut for the repaints.

A much better face for Holmes


and Watson


The finished dolls.

I’m happy to share!

It was surprisingly easy to remove the faces and painted hair with nail varnish acetone! Then I just used acrylic paint to create the new faces.
