Just a few bad shots with my iPhone in artificial light, but I wanted to share the new look. Would love feedback, but can understand if you rather wait until she has some clothes.

Stuffed
I have a prototype--finished, stuffed and button joints secured. That's the good news.
The bad news...
I am not happy with the the knees and elbows. They add realism in posing and movement, but maybe too much realism for the doll I have in mind. Designing a doll requires a careful balance between realism and simplification (ie making the doll cute). That balance is different for each doll and its intended home.
I am designing a play doll and the joints cross the line.
But this is not a difficult change to make and it will make making the doll easier. Not so many fiddly parts to finesse.
It is also harder for a child to dress with so many moving parts. And those elbows are scary.
