Jacquelyn is the first in my Dreamgirls
series and is also my first full facial repaint. Her eyes are
painted half baby blue, and half aqua to match her costume. She
has bright pink lips, black eyebrows and eyeliner, and black
rooted eyelashes. Her hair has been permed into a big mass of
curls, and a few brown streaks were rooted in (hard to see in
the pictures!). Her costume is crocheted using vintage aqua thread
found in an antique shop. I used a bathing suit pattern for the
base, which I modified to suit my needs. I designed the rest
myself, although Gene's "Bird of Paradise" was an obvious
influence! The beading is done with a mixture of rocailles, bugles,
seed beads, and the costume is edged in iridescent seed beads
throughout. Her shoes were painted to match. |
