Photo Sunday - Beijing Trip

Hi everyone! 
I'm back from my trip to Beijing! 
You probably wondering why my Photo Sunday post is on Thursday... Well, I won't be able to post this Sunday (will be gone to Moscow for 5 days), but I really want to share my pictures from Beijing. :)

The weather there was great the whole time! I really liked the city, it's clean and people are nice and all the direction signs are written in English so it's hard to get lost even if you don't speak Chinese (which I don't). The food and clothing is much cheaper than here in Russia. We've been to few interesting places like the Great Wall, Beijing Zoo, the Temple of Heaven, the main shopping Street - Wangfujing, and Tiananmen Square.

Here are some pictures from the trip:

How to Paint Eyes - TUTORIAL



Hi! I decided to write another post before I leave for vacation.
This is a small tutorial on how to paint doll's eyes. 
Hopefully you'll find this useful :)

I drew couple little pictures to explain steps. But first - a list of materials that you'll need:

  • Acrylic paint set (It's better to use textile acrylic paint for this.) You can find all the supplies in any craft store (like Hobby Lobby).
  • Several paint brushes (Use couple very thin ones and a bigger one.)
  • Glass of water
  • Rubber gloves
  • Marking pen/ pencil
  • Palette (for mixing colors) - any plate will work

Put your rubber gloves on :)

1) Draw the eye shape with pen/pencil


2)Paint the white part



3) Paint the iris 
4) Add black pupil



5) Paint lighter spots on the iris
6) Add upper and lower black eyelashes lines
7) Paint the upper eyelid
8) Add pale pink eye corners
9) Add dark shades under the upper eyelid 
(Add lots of water to dilute paint. That makes it half-transparent.)
10) Add dark shades above and under the eye 
(Again add lots of water to dilute paint and get half-transparent color.)
11) Paint couple white dots on the pupil to make light spots


Done!


Note: Don't be afraid to mix your colors. Use a plate as a palette for this. You can get lots of different new shades by mixing paints.

You can also add water to your colors to dilute them. That's how you get transparent colors for eye-shadows.

How to Dye Fabric TUTORIAL ❤ Как красить ткань МК


Today I would like to show you how I dye fabric for my primitive dolls.
It is a very important thing to do when making primitives because they're supposed to look old and worn out.
You probably know that there are many different ways to dye fabrics. But I would like to share how I do it.
Сегодня я бы хотела рассказать о том, как я крашу ткань для моих кукол примитивов. Это довольно важная часть процесса изготовления куклы примитива (или чердачной куклы), так как кукла должна выглядеть состаренной и изношенной.
Вы наверное знаете, что существует много способов окрасить ткань. Сегодня я хочу поделиться тем, как это делаю я.

Photo Sunday ❤ Фото Воскресенье


 It's a cold September day today. But it's Sunday and that means it's time for my first Photo Sunday post!
Since it's autumn and the weather is not very nice I decided to remember this summer 2013 and post some photos of Siberian nature that I took this summer. I live 67 km from the largest and the deepest lake in the world - Baikal. All these pictures were taken on the shores of the lake. I hope they will remind you of summer too! :)
