Ready to paint

Here is the little doll almost ready to paint. All the needle-sculpting is done (toes, knees, ankles, bottom, navel, sternum and spine). I just need to work a little more on the head, sanding it back to a smoother finish. It has been coated with four layers of 'goopy stuff' - a mixture of acrylic gel medium, modelling paste and water - this sets very hard and makes the head pretty indestructible.
