Seeing Double??? (sphynx doll post #1)

[e_phemerart]

I received the vinyl dollkit I recently ordered. And here's Gaz with his copy-cat counterpart!
The doll pieces are larger than I anticipated, more anthropomorphic baby-doll  proportioned than true to life cat sized. However, I do think I'm going to try to make the body pattern more feline shaped, like so:

Pondering using doe-suede for the body, after doing pattern making muslins. Definitely have to figure out how to get the wrinkles in the skin too! Think I'll work on the body first, but then I'm going to need to do some shopping for proper paints (websearching "reborning' dolls).

 

I did get a really cool set of resin eyes made by an etsy seller. This coloration, but with cat's eye slit pupil. They look great, but it also looks like it may be a bit of a hassle to set them--have to cut out the back eye caps (and the casting seems thicker than necessary there). I'm thinking this probably is a knock off casting, not  a brand "ReBorn".  Besides the castiing quality, the item specifics as listed , 16" size and 22mm eyes needed, seem  a bit off to me.

 Another note: add shaped wire to tail to make it curve.

I'll make it all work. It'll be a sort of different doll making project than the total soft-sulpture cloth dolls I've done in the past, but I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
