I prefer the cabochon eyes too. I did a walking upright cat with them & all her fur is done with a reverse needle. It does "follow" with her eyes & has a totally different texture. My very first elf doll had cab eyes, multi colored sparkle (nail polish) with black on the back, she looks magical. I have a huge collection of eyes already painted too. One thing I've always loved that you do is the lips to nose, it looks so much better. I am seeing you do not do your heads & faces as firm as I have in the past so the next doll I will try doing looser like yours. I keep my Living Felt needles separate in the packages they come in, they are my favorites! I'm so glad you are back!

Yes I was much happier to use the cabachons. I do want to try out two more techniques before I decide which one I like best, but the trial and error is the fun part I guess. I have a new Facebook page now where you can share pics with me if you’d like. Always practicing and improving. 😊

Excellent to see Winifred getting done! If everyone who viewed would hit the like &/or subscribe buttons, then comment, it would boost your algorithms etc. I was just signing off when this popped up, I'm excited your back! I re-watch a lot of the videos for a refresher on how to do things. No one makes cuter lips & noses than you. I have to re-watch that one each new face. JMO I just make mine for myself, some littles for gifts. I don't do craft sales anymore or I would try to sell some smaller things but big ones need to be ordered, it's a lot of time to make the 12" & up dolls. I've said it before, dressing my dolls is my favorite part!

On doll clothes, I sew the majority of them by hand first & then tweak them after they are on the doll which I do sew most right into the doll. It's just more fun and easy to do the things separate, especially sleeves & pants & then tailor fit them. Even non soft dolls get sewn into their clothes. You will do fine on the face of Mary, faces are where you really shine.
