This doll started out as 16-inch Mrs. Coulter doll from the Golden Compass Series produced by Tonner & Co.
Factory facial paint was rather dismal. So I completely removed original factory paint and started with a blank canvas to accurately replicate Nicole's features. Doll was also given complete hair style make over copying one of her many hair styles from a couple of years back.
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 while paying careful attention to proper scale.

I absolutely Love Nicole Kidman. I've creepishly stalked and bought all of her movies... hah - She is one of my favorite actresses, if not my favorite. You did an amazing job, right away I knew who she was without even reading. Thank you for posting.
