A sweet "brown" baby from Tru Donofrio kit

I have been painting on the Tru kit by Dawn Donofrio.  I decided since the vinyl has a brown tone to it that I would make a "brown baby".  I wanted a bi-racial look with lots of mottling under the skin.  I think I have gotten that look on her skin tones now.  I tend not to do a lot of shading on my AA/biracial babies because I do not prefer that look.  I am hoping to achieve the depth with the mottling and blue undertones instead.

Here are 2 flash pics of her so far.

Sharing baby Lauren from my own collection

Lauren is ready for Easter! This is a little 15" baby from my own collection. She is the Lauren Pigott sculpt and has solid silicone head and limbs. I bought her as a kit and painted her myself with silicone paints. Michelle Hagins of Sweet Punkins Nursery, rooted her hair for me. She is such a little munchkin and just makes me smile to look at her!

The baby I didn't like!

This baby has been one I have struggled on. I really just wasn't feeling the love for the sculpt to begin with. Then I had issues trying to paint her hair but finally got her like I wanted her. When all is said and done I am actually loving her now. I wish I could capture her well in photos but this was the best I could do.  These were taken with a flash.
