An Ancient Beauty~Lucy's Doll

the tag says:

Armand Marseille

Marks: 370

A.M. 8/0x DEP

Armand Marseilles

Made in Germany

no wig, broken shoulder plate,

underclothing is orginial as is

socks.

It is the request of the owner that the clothing not be restored
and to try and get the doll as close to orginal as I can.
this should be loads of fun.








 Poor baby looks like she has been in a fight and lost... Chipped teeth and wobbly eyes
 
the head cleaned up nicely...dont have to repaint the face...YAY!
 One is dirty one is clean... she's the problem in between.
Found some shoes to fit her
 oiled her body but took the arms back off. Didn't like how they sat on her.
Some paint to make her look clean and nice.
 Front
 Back
 Top straightened up and all those lose threads removed and a patch over the inside that holds in the sawdust stuffing
 Exercise!
 Lets do some leg bends... like her shoes?

 
 made cardboard form to build the shoulder on.
 Started adding layers to build it up
 first real sanding shows some roughness still so will add more filler

 
the wig is real human hair. I love the color.

She is looking like someones dolly again. 
Now if her mommy likes how she has been dressed , she is ready to pack up an ship off home.
