EYES: Lilly's eyes are subtle brown, a delicate mix of transparent layers. She has many fine eyelashes (upper & lower) and feathered eyebrows using varied colors.
HER CLOTHING by Hankie Couture:
~ This heirloom quality dress consists of five (5) vintage napkins with light blue roosters embroidered on white linen.
~ All the edges of this pretty dress have embroidery and cut work...that forms a pattern around the edges.
~ The skirt is very full (there are two roosters on the back of the skirt, one on the front) and the bodice has puffy short sleeves! One little rooster is centered at the bodice.
~ There is a bonnet with a rooster at the crown and full ruffles around the brim.
~ Also included is a little purse with ruffles and a little handle that the doll can hold.
~ The entire dress is lined, the seams are overlocked, and there are 2 snaps in the back.
Contempo Riley was an open-edition doll in 2007-2008 by Kish & Company, usually priced at $150.00
She has joints at her knees & hips, elbows & shoulders, and neck.
COLOR & PAINTING: Some computer screens may modify the color of the art. Some may make the image lighter or darker than it is. The doll has finer detail and more subtle coloring than a computer-jpeg-photo can show.
After removing all factory paint, I am using artist-grade alkyd-oil paints (in thin translucent glazes) with the addition of alkyd resin to make the paint surface become as flexible as the doll’s vinyl skin and to make it adhere well. I finely sand (Q-tip and finest pumice) the surface before painting it for better adhesion.
