Shoe painting

In a side thing, painting the shoes to bring out more of the detail is fun! A little brown paint and a silver pen looks like a huge improvement to me.

Used this painters brand pen for it. Some of the other ones have a smell that kicks me in the face but this one is great for folks with sensitive noses.

Madison Fear: Leg paint

First up in some over due posts I was working on Madison Fear a fair bit.

The gorgon legs came and all I had to do was remove Cleo's legs, paint the legs, then string them.

Since the Cleo I'm modifying is a newer one, with the legs held by plastic, I had to break them off. There was still some plastic so I drilled a hole through the joint space for stringing later.

Next up was paint. After some online digging Krylon seemed to be the best option. Ignore that glitter one though. Thanks to that thing I have to repaint the legs again still. Live and learn. I also decided to add a lil paint to the body as well for a fade effect, but we'll see that next post.

Here are the legs painted in their light blue glory. Even with needing the touch up I love the color and it matches pretty close to Madison's color. Just wish the sparkle paint would have worked out for added effect. Oh well.

Well I finished the bed but it didn't really turn out like I was hoping it would.

Came to regret using wood patterned contact paper. I though it would stick buuuuut it didn't very well. The top one is just where I gave up trying to cover the edges of the cartboard with it and left it bare.

The bedding fits though so I can't really complain. I'll probably try again later with patterned paper instead.  And more cardboard since it's a little too wobbly.... TTFN
