"Doll Customization: Freckles, Lashes, and Eyes"

  • Freckles were added to the doll's skin, following a pattern of white and brown spots to mimic a natural look, with white freckles being common for individuals with porcelain skin. False lashes were cut into small pieces and individually placed to create fluffy eyelashes, focusing on thickness in the outer corners to achieve a specific eye shape. Craft glue was used to secure the lashes, and additional lash ends were added for accentuation.
  • The doll's eyes were set by placing them in the eye sockets and securing them with blue tack instead of a permanent substance like milliput to allow for easy adjustments in case of mistakes. The next steps in the doll customization process will involve working on hair accessories and clothes, with feedback on the doll's face welcomed in the comments section for future improvements.
