Hello Reader,
Every now and then, a problem (or even a mistake) leads to a solution even better than the original concept. This was the case when I used chenille stems for finger armature. Because doll fingers can be quite thin, the wire was visible at the fingertips (especially this doll's - "Averill"). I decided to create fingernails to camouflage the wire.
I used supplies I had on hand - Mod Podge and acrylic paint (skin tone and white). Click on the link below to access Tip#4:

Meanwhile, I've been working on finishing my most recent doll. She still needs a bit of styling to her hair and a photo shoot. You can see some of her development on my blog:
