Since moving to Newcastle, I’ve started taking commissions for dolly faceups again, and this was one that I’d recently completed that I liked very much.

She’s a Volks Amelia, and the owner wanted her to be feminine, yet somewhat sexy. Generally, I do feel that this sculpt looks better as a male doll, but I had fun repainting this one as a girl anyway! Somehow, she reminds me of an old hollywood beauty.

I’m going to be flying back to Melbourne tomorrow for a short holiday, so won’t be able to work on any faceups for the next week or so, but when I’m back, I’ll be waiting on a few new commissions to arrive, so am looking forward to that!

I feel like I’ve come full circle, in a way.

This doll had one of the first commissioned faceups I did, and I like to think that I have improved since my first attempt.

I finished a commission for a Volks Sweet Dreams Syo this week, and must admit it was a really enjoyable project!

I love that the owner requested for darker colours around the eye area, and also stronger colours for blush and lips. The doll is meant to be a boy (which the darker colours emphasised), but the faceup can also work for a girl?

Volks resin is so lovely to work on – all the colours just seem to glide on.
