Mini's completed by a first timer

Well I did it. My first attempt at newborning. I tried a different technique on each baby so I could practice. Baby in pink #1, I did the regular way like in the DVD for beginners, but had really bad mohair...it was the stuff that came with beg. kit, so the rooting was bad. #2 in yellow dress I did with the berry maker although I can't get the camera to pick up on this. Maybe I did it to subtle. Rooting went better, still not good at this, but softer Mohair. #3 baby in blue I wanted to try an ethnic baby. Attempted to follow the DVD but was using premixed ethnic paints so I didn't have all the colors to mix as in the DVD. She mixed her own. I think the baby looks like those fake tan's! LOL. Rooting went better on this one, although I need lots of help on hair cutting!  I had custom bodies made so that helped alot. I will attach pictures, I hope it works and let me know what you think. The ethnic baby looks more shiny in pictures than in person, and I know that the blue eyes don't go with the body color, but like I said I was just trying different techniques.smile.gif

Oh how cute I love them! I think you did a wonderful job on all three. What a good idea to do one of them with an ethnic color.   Janie

I don't think the pink one's hair looks bad :o
I can see the mottling on the yellow one. Mostly on the leg.
You did pretty good on the ethnic one.

My fave of the 3 is the first pink one.

I think you did a realy lovely job, painting the mini's is harder than the bigger ones and I think my fav would be the one in pink also.
