Which features do you prefer?

Do you have virtual images of him with the different skin colors that you could post?  I'd go look at your gallery pic's, but I'm still stuck in mobile version, so I can't see anyone's signatures at the bottom of their posts. -_-

I'm not sure my mother ever really understood just what Mary Ann Jones meant to me, she was never a doll person, even as a child.   She never really played with her dolls, they just sat on her dresser and looked pretty.   Once in a while she would change their outfit or fix their hair and sit them back on the dresser.   She never said what happened to them, I suppose she gave them to her younger sister Barbara when she left to go to nurse's training.   They were just pretty objects to my mother, that decorated her room.   Objects she had no more use for as a student nurse.   She was genuinely surprised at how angry and upset I was by what she had done.   It probably sounds silly, but to me it was the same as if she had killed a living thing!

So to her Mary Ann was just an object that was falling apart, and not even a pretty object!   She was never happy with how Mary Ann had turned out.   I suspect she was embarrassed by what she considered to be her hideous, failed attempt at rag doll making.

I'm afraid I never let her forget what she had done either, for years it was my parting shot in any argument we had.......much to my father's amusement. ^_^
Although, I think in a way he understood how I felt about Mary Ann and how much she meant to me, far better than my mother could.  I always sort of felt his non spoken sympathy and support whenever I played my "trump card" as it were. ^_~

Once Mary Ann was burned, I gave up any hope of giving her a new body.   Without her old body as a reference, I knew we wouldn't be able to successfully recreate her, even if I did manage to guilt my mother into trying.

However, while I can't give her a new rag doll body, recently it occured to me that I just might be able to create a Makie body for her spirit to live in, I'm hoping it will work! ^_^
