work in progress!
WIP of a large porcelain doll statue I've been working on for a hot minute! 🔥
I opted for a complete repaint of this figure, thank god because the orginal was real bad. It's over a foot tall!
Unfortunately the other day my phone decided to delete ALL my photos from the last 4 years 🙃 I'm devastated!
It's almost funny that when I actually decide to document my progress and before and after pics, something like this happens. 😅
Updates on life stuff:
I'm not doing much better health wise and recently had to take my youngest cat to the ER. Thank God he will be fine but it will be a long road of changes for him and a lot of debt for us. All that matters is that he is okay! ❤️
If you feel like supporting us in these hard times, simple getting something from the shop is SO helpful 🙏
Restoring porcelain dolls can be a deeply fulfilling yet challenging endeavor. When undertaking a repainting project, it’s crucial to select the right materials to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal. The drying time of various paints and the proper application technique can significantly affect the final outcome. Additionally, confirm that the original material is compatible with your new paint choice. Maintaining a sense of humor while undergoing difficult situations, such as losing cherished photos or dealing with health issues of pets, often helps artists cope. It’s essential to build a support network during such phases. Online forums and social media can be excellent platforms for seeking advice, sharing progress, and connecting with fellow artists who understand the intricacies of creative work. As you progress, consider documenting your work in stages to make the eventual reveal even more impactful. Before-and-after photos not only showcase your skills but also inspire others. Finally, always remember: while the art you create is significant, the journey and experiences along the way can be just as valuable.
