Piper was created using a standard Barbie from Mattel. She has the belly button body and light tan skin tone. All factory paint was fully removed and I gave her a full facial repaint using artist acrylics and sealers. I then washed, conditioned and layered her hair into a semi long style. Hope you like her! :hug:

I am not affiliated with the Mattel company. I simply use their beautiful dolls as a canvas for my own artistic expression. :)

she's lovely!

BTW, can you mix pillarbox red and sugarberry saran to create a pinkish red colour?

Awww, thankyou very much. Yes, I have to agree... not the most attractive Barbie sculpt! lol Eyeshadow... well, the best advice I can give is to paint eyeshadow in lots of thinned down layers and only use a blending medium... definitely not water. It blends much easier that way and doesn't have a hard line. Hope that helps! :hug:

I am going to try that.. Ive heard in the past to water it down and it just doesnt have the effect I was going for. Is medium anything like Leveler? I ordered some leveler to try it [link]
otherwise where do you get your medium at?

I checked out the Leveler and I think its probably a very similar medium. I use Jo Sonja's Blend and Stroke medium. I love it and its artist quality. I think you can buy it online if you just google the brand name but I would say that the Leveler will do the same thing. Let me know how you go! :heart:
