RESTORATION UPDATES
We have applied glue in the cracks and new plastic compound inside the body to secure each split.  She is drying now and we will be sanding her and we have decided to paint her entirely to make her look fresh and not so much like a patched doll. (No added fees).  We just want her to be as perfect as we can get her.  Our paint is a special blend satin Saucy Walker Color and will be beautiful.  The patch on the top in the photo will be sanded down before we paint.
We have her in pieces and sanitized and will be repairing the eyes, then applying the blushing, shadow and lip and tongue colors.  I am so anxious to see her finished.  She will be a beauty.  Her hips will be stronger than the original because of all the thick plastic compound that has been added on the inside of each broken part..  She will walk like a dream.  Check back again in a few days, we should have more photos this weekend.

The shop's lighting makes the shadow and blushing look darker than what it really is because the photos were taken at night time.  Waiting for the paint to dry then the red lips back to the original look.  Teeth are covered to keep the base paint off of them.  Eyes were cleaned and our preventative sponges put in place to prevent rolling and sinking and crossing of the eyes.  She will look more like the Saucy you got when little when we get the mouth painted.  The blush color we use was blended custom for our Saucy Walkers. (Red Orange) You will not recognize this doll when you get her back but there is enough on her torso to remind you that she is absolutely your very doll. (Tiny lines where the hips were broken.  Hard to see, so you will need to look really close to find the lines.)
The knees will be re-blushed tomorrow and the lips painted.  Dr. Hubby needs to make the knees more of a round blushing. Saucy Walkers were sold with blushing only on their cheeks, the back of their hands and their knees. (Never their tummy or anywhere on the torso.)  The blushing always looks darker in the photos than it really is in the real.  She still has her original eyebrows and painted on lashes below her eyes.  You cannot tell she has been re-done in the real.  Her body is gorgeous....Amazingly so.

This is 10/17 And Dr. Hubby re-blushed her knees and put her together.  Can you believe this is the same doll?  Look above her right leg, you cannot see all those cracks any more. Amazing what the man can do!!  You cannot even see the broken hips on the side except for a tiny tiny indent of a line on one side, barely visible just enough to prove that she is your doll.  (giggle)

My daughter will be applying another new coat of paint to her mouth.  I did the one above but she will need to outline them for perfection.  Hang in there, we are working to send her soon but we just want her perfect before we do.  God Bless.
