Body freckles, sunburn, and tan lines on silicone doll
Applying freckles, sunburn, and tan lines to a silicone doll
This is Angela, one of the teachers here at Stepford-on-Sea Finishing School for Girls, and she has just returned from an educational cruise in the Mediterranean. (She is a DS Dolls 158 with the Fleur head.) For the freckles, I used moderately thin brown poster paint dabbed on with a large make-up brush, then I dabbed the resulting specks of paint with a finger to flatten and spread them. For the sunburn, I used the same brush (after I dried it) to apply blusher. Normally I apply corn starch powder (Johnson's Baby Powder here in Britain) first, both to make the skin feel smooth and to make the blusher go farther, but I did not do that this time. The result is a more patchy appearance. In addition, to obtain tan lines, I put temporary bra and panties on her before I applied the sunburn. Bra and panties as paint and blusher masks She is hanging from a hook screwed into a wooden beam, to which the little DS Dolls S-hook and Ray Rentell's nifty eye-bolt is attached. You can also use the rather bizarre body hanging bracket offered by DS Dolls, but Ray's eye bolt is so much simpler and easier to use. "Can't a lady do her body make-up without everyone looking?" Here she is hanging from the DS Dolls through-head hang bracket. Spending more time on it would have resulted in a more even appearance. (But who has more time?) |

Well there's inventiveness for you.
Just a thought, doesn't the blushing rub off onto the clothes ? And just in case anyone is interested the eye bolt is 6 mm, easily found on ebay by a search . Glad it turned out to be useful |

Just as the postman walks past and has a nosey glance through the window! Though it probably wouldnt be until his 2nd or 3rd take that he would even notice she is missing her head!
But great work, the tan looks absolutely brilliant |

It was way past the postman's time, but it is always possible that a meter reader or someone will turn up!
The postman would not be surprised anyway. First thing he sees when I open the front door is one of my dolls sitting in the corridor looking up from her book and leaning sideways a bit to see past me who is at the door. And, partly obscured by the kitchen door beyond, four doll legs in high heels. Then, if I have remembered to position the kitchen door exactly on a mark I inked on the floor, the mirror hanging on that door shows another doll (Virginia the headmistress) standing in her formal-looking vintage attire. |
