Welcome back FG.

I'll send Samara a PM. She probably hasn't seen this thread.

I will be selling Ingred. She is a vinyl makeup/ massage training head. You can pm me if you want to.

Not a cosmetology head but I liked it enough to add it to my "eva" mannequins body! This is a functioning mannequin with Mannequin Fans excellent adapter and magnetic leg joints installed, shes a bit rough as she has been in storage for about a year, needs extensive touchup!

And yes those are real braces, and I plan to add dental teeth when she is reworked in the fall..

I found her on Ebay as a used head and partial shoulders shop display mannequin. I thought she looked pretty and that with a bit of work I would be able to convert her into a head that would fit my Textile Doll body. It actually took a very great deal of work,:-

cutting out and adapting the skull cavity to accept and securely fit the textile doll neck fixing
cutting out the original eyes and replacing them with good quality acrylic eyes mounted in custom shaped rear mounted sockets with adjustment levers
a custom paint job to give her a deeply freckled skin (I love girls with freckles)

So this is the finished result.

For comparison, here she is with another similar mannequin head in its original state.

And here she is borrowing Signe's body.

The skin tone doesn't quite match Signe's pale skin but my next Textile Doll will have the tanned skin tone which should be a much better match.[/b]

Hey Kate Kane

love your work, i just got into recreating dolls, is it possible i could pay you to insert new eyes into my doll?

Thanks for pointing this out.
As this is my thread, I should have made a welcome to them back then.

They don't seem to have much interest in TDF though as they were only on here for 26 minutes that 1 day??
