#60 - Don't Like Dull Faces

Fixing the Face

It's amazing how looking at a glum face, can be catching.  Especially if you go out of your way to smile at someone and they look back blankly. 

So that's why my wig-stand-friend, with her white Styrofoam face, needed to have a new look.  I also   desperately needed to do something a little festive, the day before I planned to get rid of my hair.

Last Week
​
​Last week I posted this as my Facebook profile pic.  

I knew my wig holding friend needed some serious help.  She looked depressed.

Margit to the Rescue
​
​Yesterday, Margit offered to come over.

She arrived with her paints and brushes!

Mixing Paints
​
​First Margit had to mix some paint colors to boost the skin tone of my Styrofoam friend.  

It was soothing just watching the colors swirl together.  I need to get out some paints in these months ahead!

Special Jobs
​
​Margit and I each did one green eye, but like a Kindergartner I begged, "Can you fix mine?"

 Margit also repaired my lip attempts and she added some shading and line work. I added the false eyelashes and I did a very good job drying the paint. (I'm really excited that I won't be needing my hair dryer for a very long time.)

Voila!
​
​Betty Lou looked complete, once we added some bling.  

She may not have a smile as large as ours, but she's rockin' the wig.  That's too bad, because we will be fighting over it soon.
