"Jeannie"

This is Jeannie.
She survived getting her fingers nipped off by a horse in the 1940's and getting her heel burnt and water damage in a house fire.
Her owner wanted her restored to her former beauty.

Jeannie's eyes had loft much of their colour. I have never seen that before.

 Her torso was split down the side and at the bottom.

The charred heel looked minor, but when I started scraping off the burnt composition, I found more extensive damage. 

 Here is the heel with all the burnt composition removed.

This is Jeannie dismantled and all her loose paint removed.

Next, her missing parts get rebuilt....lots of resurfacing and sanding. 

Jeannie's eyes were a puzzle.

How do I get their colour back?

A bit of experimentation showed that painting them would work.

The slots on top of the iris are where her eyelashes were. New eyelashes will get glued in there. 

Now Jeannie has been filled/sanded and primed.

Many layers of filler/primer were needed. 

Then starts the usual applications of skintone paint and facial features. Here she is mid paint job.

Jeannie finished and dressed.
