NOTE: THIS OOAK DOLL REPAINT IS CURRENTLY UP FOR AUCTION ON EBAY. CLICK THE LINK BELOW.
[link]
This celebrity doll repaint was inspired by the delicately distinctive beauty of British actress Keira Knightley.
I used a 16-inch Elizabeth Swann doll here produced by Robert Tonner Doll company - a finely made facial sculpt but the facial paint was something I found quite unsatisfactory and which I felt did not really reflect the character portrayed by Keira nor captured her likeness.
So, I completely removed factory facial painting and hand painted it to bring the likeness of Ms. Knightley to life. The doll's hair has been partially rerooted with additional hair as some of the areas were sparsely rooted. Then I gave her hair a soft perm for just some very subtle waves.
The top right inset photo shows the doll as it looked originally before repainting.
Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area . Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.
-- acrylic paint and ultra fine brushes

She's so gorgeous!
I've found myself wondering from time to time what the celebrity depicted would say if they saw how realistically and flattering-ly you portrayed them on a Barbie doll. Have you ever gotten a reply back like that?

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about, watching some good friends screaming let me out!

The question is not whether someone believes that God exists, or not.
