Hello everyone.
I thought I would share another custom doll project, which I finished.
In this doll project I didn't use a reference for how the character looks, though there have been multiple versions of the character, Titania, from Shakespeare.
I decided I would do my version of Titania instead of someone else's.
So let's begin:
This doll always reminded me of Titania, so I thought
I would turn her into Titania, with a little repainting.
(But with no nail polish remover, I have not yet figured out
how to safely use it on a doll without accidentally removing a layer of plastic.
So if anyone has done this successfully on one of their dolls, I would love to hear about it
in the comments.)
The first thing I did was paint over her lips,
and make them redder.
And then I took a gold paint marker, and began dabbing gold
spots underneath her eyes.
The next thing I did was to paint a crown onto her head,
which was inspired Boudica.
And took a white paint marker and covered over her existing irises.
And then started making my own, which were in a different place
than the original.
Then I took a green paint marker which was more vibrant than her original eye color
and began painting it over.
I then added in red parts at the corners of her eyes to
make it look more realistic.
The first time I added the pupils in, it didn't look right,
so I waited for it to dry and painted over them with green.
I then painted on yellow and gold eye liner and eyeshadow.
I then added reflections in the eyes, by adding white dots,
and made her bottom eyelashes more visible.
Once I finished painting over her existing paint,
I used Mod Podge to stop it from scratching off.
I found out later, that the Mod Podge had a gloss finish,
but it felt perfect for her, since Titania is an immortal fairy.
Next I began working on her outfit,
I used brown felt and began gluing on silk leaves and flowers.
Next I glued on two pipe cleaners, and started adding on silk
leaves.
While working on her wings I also glued on
some sequins.
And then I glued the wings onto her dress.

Which character from A Midsummer Night's Dream is your favorite?
Have you ever done a full doll repaint before?
Love,
Quinley
