A Familiar Face

This is a familiar face, but who is this cute girl, anyway?

It seems like almost every face I make has a serious potential to look just like this one. I have often heard the comment, "Your dolls look just like you". Now that I have made nearly 1,000 dolls, I suppose that some of them do look like me, although that was never the intent,  
​

This face is the second in a the pair I made recently. I didn't realize until the end of the process how carefully i had repeated myself. 

I used faceted brown glass beads for eyes. It seemed like a great idea, but makes the faces kind of expressionless. Note the eyebrows! I used to get by with skipping the eyebrows all together, but not any more.

"Lila" (2017) and "Chrysalis" (2018),  pictured below, have very similar faces. 

I guess this is the face that just seems "right" to me as I am working..  Now that I am more aware of it, I'll try to think of it just as a starting point.
