Finding the perfect match

[kosomolski-dolls]

Since some people on Instagram found it helpful, I'm gonna share it here as well.

Vallejo Model Color Ivory is a pretty perfect match for slightly yellowed Fairyland Beautiful White.

I have yet to test if just adding some white to it will make it a match for new BW, but this is already perfect for my needs (matching my minifee Ruth from normal to white skin will be a lot easier from now on).

I just binge watched and finished Good Omens IM NOT OKAY!!!! feat. My room archway painted a very similar shade of yellow to Va Va Voom.

(My camera and lighting makes it look WAY too sunshine/sunflower yellow but that's okay! It's already very similar so it's fine)

If you're wondering, yes, I did do this at 3 AM impulsively. ✨

I am repairing my giant penguin plushie with some yarn I had at home that was actually a really good match for the penguins "fur"

pros of really good colour match: can't see the stitches

cons of really good colour match: can't ae my fucking stitches

Part I colour matching and picking materials

I admit, I’m rebinding this book partially because I really don’t like the cover of the paperback and partially because I really want to use that printed cork fabric. Finding a good colour to stand out but not too harshly was a bit of a stretch when I checked the commercial bookcloth I had. Luckily I went on bookcloth spree a few weeks back and have a few options more now. I might go back and check for a totally different colour tomorrow though. Picking endpapers that would not clash with the colours and print of the cork was difficutl too (because I tend to be very indecisive) but eventually I decided for a colour gradient. I don’t like how paperback just start with the book no warming up at all. So I added a few more to ease into the book and get a nicer transition between endpaper and (aged) text paper. Initially I had third paper there, but it did nothing for the fading so I decided against it.

Colour matching is never easy even when you have virtually every colour in the rainbow 🌈

I'm kinda like a daphne/velma hybrid here : - )

Spent the day with trying to colour match my Luts body to the Meeksdoll head I painted.

The smart thing would've been not painting the head until I have the body and actually colour match the head to the body, but when I got these three, I just couldn't wait 😭

So i have to deal with the consequences of my actions...

Lots of trials and errors, and in the end, I just gave up with "close enough" and I hope the body blushing will hide it 😅

It's not too bad, I think... let's see tomorrow in daylight.

Also used some imperfections in the dye to give him his scars.

I'm still on the fence about these and wondering if I should add some more scars with the tissue paper method, but I'll sleep about that for now...
