Today is Echo’s second birthday. I can’t believe she arrived two years ago today.
I feel like I’ve done hardly anything with poor Echo. I simply must get over my fear of shaping fabric around her boobs and make her a bodice. Oh, to have proper sewing skills! How I wish. Anyway, she almost always lives in her box, and tonight I took her out and admired how special she is. She really is like none of my other dolls in look and feel. I kinda wish she didn’t have the heaving bosom that intimidates me so, but on the other hand, she has such a majestic presence that it kind of works for her in that respect. Happy birthday, Echo, you lovely, ethereal creature of many secrets.

My first time applying doll lashes went well. I really like them on Echo. I used a lighted magnifier when I applied them. Now I want to use it for all faceup work, and I think I want to redo Echo's lips at some point.
I was surprised by how much more detail I could see with the magnifier. I definitely think that I could paint a better faceup if I used one. It might even be worth investing in an optivisor, a magnifying visor that I can wear over my glasses. This afternoon I hope to work on Echo's clothes, but my body wants to nap. I'm so torn. Maybe a quick nap and then sewing. |
