She&#8217;s not particularly old or valuable, but something about her spoke to me. Her previous owners had slathered her in acrylic craft paint, and it was doing her no justice. I knew I wanted to make her look a bit like a Hakata doll, I just wasn&#8217;t sure how I&#8217;d go about that. It took a bit of experimentation, but I&#8217;m really happy with the end result.<\/p>\n<p>Here she is exactly as I brought her home. Thick, streaky acrylic craft paint hid most of the details of her sweet little face, and the colours on her just weren&#8217;t to my taste.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2823 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-2-201x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-2-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-2-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-2-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-2.jpg 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-3.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-3-201x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-3-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-3-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-3-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-3.jpg 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-1-201x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-1-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-1-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-1-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll_before-1.jpg 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>So I stripped her down to bare porcelain with some 100% acetone, and gave her two very thin coats of matte white primer. She could have looked absolutely gorgeous all in white, but parts of her were in rough shape, no matter how much sanding and spraying I did, so I went ahead with my initial plan of colouring her. I tried several different types of paint (fine acrylics, watercolours, etc) but nothing was setting properly. Then I gave my alcohol-based markers a shot, and knew I&#8217;d found my solution.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-2823 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-3.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-3-201x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-3-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-3-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-3-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-3.jpg 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-4.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-4-201x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-4-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-4-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-4-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during-4.jpg 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during_X-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during_X-1-201x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during_X-1-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during_X-1-686x1024.jpg 686w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during_X-1-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/doll-during_X-1.jpg 1046w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The markers did a lovely job of covering her without making her feel heavy. The black marker I used on her hair has a brush tip, and I love the texture it gave her. I also used metallic paint pens to add a bit of depth and texture to her obi and the little flowers that were sculpted in relief on the kimono. I left her eyes closed, I think it gives her a pensive, focused expression.
