I just completed a Marrisa May Lucy Kit, and I'm just not digging it. I don't see anything wrong with the paint or the rooting. I don't know just what it is ~ but Im just not feeling the love as I normally do with my babies. Could you all take a peek and give me your honest opinion? I feel that this is not a salesworthy baby, although my husband disagrees.
Please excuse the quality of the photographs. I was having trouble with everything having a bluish tint ~ the baby's coloring is not actually blue. I need a goot camera.
Thanks ladies! Julie
P.S. Here are pics of my Lucy dressed as a girl. The hair and eyebrows look really red, but they are actually light brown (dern camera).
They tell me when you take pictures, you should take them in natural daylight and with a white background. Wether it be outside or with the curtains open and next to a window. I think the blue back ground is what is giving you the blueish tinge. I would like to see her in a brighter pink to be abe to comment properly. At present she does look like a boy in the green suit. There was no ic in 2nd post. XXXX June.
June, I think she meant that boy is the same one as in her avatar but as a girl. :)
Looks like your coloring is pretty good (like you said, hard to tell with the blue tinge). Hair is good. Is it thickly rooted or a thin wig? It might be the outfit too! Maybe he needs some Sunday dress up clothes and shoes instead of the sleeper thing.
One thing people do is to cross the babies legs or have them in the air. Now smack me if its not true but I have NEVER seen a peacefully sleeping baby with their legs in the air, in any position. lol So other than that your positioning looks ok.
I think you have enough eyebrow and the coloring is good to match the hair but maybe it's a little too intense. But then maybe it's the blue again. :o
Other than that I think he/she looks really sellable. I mean if it's the same one as in your avatar I say go for it! But then you might want to wait till evilbay picks up some in mid to end Feb. Not much selling now.
I was unable to upload additioal pictures from the reply block, so I revised my original post and added pics of my baby girl Lucy. Her hand-rooted hair and eyebrows are actually a light brown. but they show up as red in the pics.
My husband said the baby's face had an ethnic look to it - maybe hispanic - So I think I'm going to give him or her a beautiful hispanic name.
I'll keep you all posted. Thank you so much for your comments!
