One of the things that really had disappointed me about Peggy Sue was her hands.
The paint work is dreadful and has filled in the gaps between her fingers.
I just wanted to see if I could improve them so thought I would start by removing the paint.
This is the first stage...
Already I an see an improvement and hopefully the potential to what they will look like once finished.
She obviously lost a thumb from her left hand at some point and has had a replacement made.
This might scupper my ideas of leaving her with natural hands...or perhaps I may be able to stain the thumb a similar colour to the rest of her hand. Still it is early days yet. A lot of work still has to be done.
You are braver than I am! Sally is missing a pinky finger on one hand. I think the repair is charming, but I understand wanting her to look uniform. Good luck with the repair.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the first step. The painting was pretty gunky so a good go in the right direction.
