"What?" says Danielle....
"Live each day with this kind of Passion! Don't you find it exhausting?" ~Prince Charming
LOL. Can you tell I'm watching Ever After for like, the 80th time? I really enjoy this modern spin on Cinderella.
Anyway, I LOVE IT when he says that to her in the midst of a heated argument. Why wouldn't you want to live with passion everyday?

Seek gets a faceup
Today I am finally finished with the polymer portion of my art doll called "Seek." I rubbed her down with acetone (after forgetting that it is a solvent, pouring some out into a plastic cup, and having my cup literally runneth-over as the acetone ate the cup, lol.)
Then I used Genesis oil paints to give her a blushy glow, rosey cheeks, beautiful lips, and eyebrows. I do think she is going to get real eyelashes. You will notice her head is shaped funny- don't make the mistake of making a "realistic" head, because then when you attach the hair or wig, it will be really BIG! So I left room for gluing, because she is going to have 2 kinds of mohair attached in clumps, starting at the nape of the neck.
But I won't be working on her head anymore until the sculpture is assembled. She needs to be attached to her legs now and positioned, because when you do a sculpture in the round, you really need to see the whole thing developing. One of the easiest mistakes to make is to spend a long time developing one part of your sculpture, before you work on other parts- you usually end up with something that looks unbalanced. So, next step- attach hips to legs!
