And I've been working on a bit of trompe l'oeil (trick the eye) painting an another doll I'm working on. I use trompe l'oeil quite a lot when painting my dolls, even when I'm not painting on a flat surface, because I find that I can enhance the sculpting quite a bit using tints and tones to add more depth. With this new doll, the surface is flat, so the illusion of three dimensionality is achieved just using paint. Not sure if I'm happy with this yet - I may re-paint it.

Love them both... so wonderful!
Love the little knitted cardigan, so sweet. The face on the 'flat face' doll is perfect in my opinion.
Oh so beautiful, as always! I love the little sweater, too! Both dolls are lovely!
Love them both!
The little Autumn child is beautiful and her cardigan with ties that match her slippers is perfect. The painting on the flat face doll looks good to me.
The little knitted sweater and matching booties are so sweet. Do you knit them yourself?
Both are gorgeous!
Did you make the little sweater too? I love everything about her :)
What a wonderful doll, so sweet!
Very effective painting technique! Love the costume work n the first doll.
Thanks all.......and yes I do all the knitting. I find it quite relaxing - I can do it in front of the TV in the evening.

You're too much of a perfectionist Susie, she is perfect the way she is.
Sweet Child is absolutely adorable! All warm and cozy and comfy! Beautiful piece (as always!).
NOOOOOOOOOO! Don't repaint! It's perfect just the way it is!

Well you certainly managed to capture the feeling of soft fluid eyes! Love your girl in the banner.
Do stop by and say hello if you get a sec!
