Make Do Black Bru French doll

I have a deep love for Bru dolls. What doll collector wouldnt ? and for most of us to own an authentic antique Bru is what dreams are made of as they are arguably the most collectible of all antique dolls often fetching several thousands of dollars.
 I recenty aquired the pieces to make a black Bru 11 replica, she had been previously painted and my intention was to redo her features to hopefully get a more authentic look.
  Keep in mind i do not claim any rights of greatness when creating a dolls but i enjoy the process and have made dolls for many years.

Here is my Black Bru dolls journey.
