My poor girl has been patiently waiting for her ears. It was helpful for me to crop some closeup shots of original Izannah dolls' ears when thinking about this. Visit the Izannah Walker Chronicles to see pictures of the original dolls' ears. I may have to go back to Izannah Boot Camp for saying this, the ears are not the best part of Izannah's dolls. I decided to choose this ear as an inspiration for my doll. Here's the one I made below. Applying them to the doll below.

What's that, dollie?

"Take me to your leader?"

I'm not sure who that is. So here's the doll with the ear applied and one layer of a base coat paint. It's still wet. Once it's dry I will sand it for a smoother finish. And then I will add some paperclay or modeling paste over the ear to give it a more finished look. at Tuesday, January 05, 2010
