A Schoenhut girl gets just a few touch ups

 

This is Schoenhut's model 105.

This is how she looked when she was bought by her current owner.

The repaint is very thick. Her new owner decided to take off the repaint.

Under the repaint was this.

This doll had had a factory repaint even before the thick repaint seen above was done. Multiple layers are still present all showing varying degrees of wear. She has 2 layers of gesso in there too!

The factory repaint had changed the colour of her bow. I was able to figure out that the pink colour was the first colour that that bow had had.

Her owner wants just a few touch ups.....not a total strip down and repaint.

I was able to remove the blue bow remnants and added some more pink. Just a bit more.

Her face gets a few touch ups too.

Trying to decide when to stop touch ups is always tricky. 

At least she can see again.
