Victorian Figures For A Fellow Member
« on: May 23, 2011, 20:49:30 »
I was sent five ladies last week and asked if I could spruce them up a bit, but keep their original colours for a fellow member. They also wanted a few gentlemen to match, so here's my latest Victorians. Fingers crossed they will be well received.

 :lol: WoT's right, duh! They're lovely as always, Emma! You've done a great job of trimming them out to match existing colors, in some ways probably harder than picking paint colors yourself.

Thanks everyone, I enjoyed making these. It was fun trying to colour coordinate the guys to match. It's amazing what adding a little changes here and there can do for a figure. I'm into necklaces and broaches at the moment and you can see I've put one on each lady.

Yes the red and white is very nice but that's mainly as the original figure is a great colour and pattern. I think my favorite is the green lady with the child. I was asked to do a green and white governess, so she looks plain but still summery I think  :love:

Well I like them but when your working for someone else it's hard to tell if you've done what they're expecting. I'll let you know later....

Superb customs, Emma.  I'm sure the recipient will be over the moon with them.
