I found
another doll at my local thrift store. She is an older Our Generation Battat
doll. The price was $1.99. I thought if nothing else, she'd make a good model
for clothes.
When I took her hair down, it was very frizzy.
I used a
flat iron to smooth it down a bit.
She had a
cute face but her lip color was a little bright for her.
I tried
to get a more natural color by mixing some acrylic paints. I played around with
the colors until I got a good shade. I painted it right over her existing lip
color and later added a clear coat of varnish. I was happy with it in the end.
I think
she looks much better.
Here she is all dressed. I think she will make a good model as well a great addition to my 18" doll collection.
