What's up doll face!

So, I bought a doll a while back.
See... creepy no face

"Doll".

It's basically a blank action figure. It's 5 1/2 inches tall. I've named her Mimi (short for Mini Cami).

Anyway, I ordered her on Amazon because she was only like $12 and that was a lot less than all the other sites I was looking at. Downside? Package would arrive sometime in March.

I got lucky and it showed up only a week or two after I ordered. I was stoked.

Anyway, she comes with three sets of hands (open hand, a set for holding and fisted) two sets of feet, and some weapons.

She's pretty bad ass.

But here's the rub.

She's bald.

And had no face.

One of those I could remedy more easily than the other, so I did some research and figured out how to give this little lady a face.

And then I went to Hobby Lobby.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Hobby Lobby?

Totes my Mecca.

Anyway!

During my research, I figured out the easiest way to put a face on her would be with colored pencils to draw it on, and some fixative to keep it on.

I already have colored pencils and pastels (pastels for giving her face some color), but I didn't have fixative. While at the Hobbs I picked up some other items and held one of my friends captive (you can't really buy only one thing at Hobby Lobby).

With my supplies in hand, I managed to carefully draw on a tiny face for my doll. I had to wipe it off a couple of times because I messed up, but overall I think she doesn't look as soulless as she did before.

Take a look:


I know it's hard to see, but I didn't want it to be over done. At least she has a face now!

And hair... she still need hair.

I'll figure that one out later.
