I checked my pics – there’s none where you can see the freckles… when I said they don’t look that good on photos, I apparently meant they don’t look at all.

Thanks Will!:) Thanks Ursula!

I’ve got to say I really like Abbey a lot better now, and it will probably be easier for me to use her more often in stories now too.

Ursula–what I did for freckles: I basically took the smallest round tipped brush I have (which at the moment is a 10/0–) and made up a wash of raw umber and burnt sienna. I made sure it was a fairly light wash (with some thicker mix to the side for darker freckles) and then….spent a long time dotting them on the doll head and body! LOL!

I gave her freckles all over so that when she has shots showing her arms and or legs that it won’t look weird her having freckles over her face and none anywhere else!

*I don’t think I remember seeing freckles on Nikki? Do you have a pic? *

Great looking girl! The first Abbey to me always looked a bit desperate, now she’s really a cute girl from next door.

I once did freckles (on Nicky) and used a combination of drybrushing (it was more a kind of tender prodding than brushing) and a small brush with very hard bristles. I was very pleased with the outcome, although imo it looks not that good on photos…
What did you do?
