Customizing Blythe - Sand-Matting

Honey Bunny is preparing to go through a few 'facial surgery'.



As I dare not to remove her scalp, customizing Honey Bunny Blythe is limited to sand matte and changing her eyelashes. I do it without removing her face mold or eye balls.

Thanks to Puchi Collection Tutorials and a book that I purchased to customize blythe. I managed to achieve the basic customization.

To sand matte her, I need Norton 3x Sanding sponges as suggested in Puchi Collection Tutorials, but I could not find here in Singapore. Instead, I brought TAMIYA Finishing Abrasives P2000 to sand matte and a Sanding Sponge No. 500 from a 2 dollar shop (Daiso) here in Singapore to polish her.

I cut them into smaller pieces, test the sand matte result at the back of her head. Once I am satisfied with the result, than I try on her face. I sand matte in a circular motion. Initially you may see a bit of very fine scratches (not coarse scratches!), it is ok. I use the sponge to polish it. Those fine scratches will be gone. Than, I use a clean cotton cloth to polish her face again.
