Head cracks in a French Fashion This lovely French Fashion doll had several cracks in the head, on both temples and into the face.  The left side had a V shaped crack that went from the crown, through the brow and down the cheek.  The other temple had an additional V shaped crack that extended through the eye.  In addition, a large part of the upper forehead was reconstructed. Previous repairs by someone else had used acrylic paints and spray acrylic sealer, which flake and yellow over time.  They also covered the beautiful translucency of the bisque.

Restore Facial Color to a Kestner This small Kestner head had no color on one temple near the eye that included lashes and brow.  There was also no color on parts of the forehead, one side of the nose and around the other eye.  The tricky part about redoing the color was the head was only a couple of inches tall, making it difficult to place color and then restore the lashes, without making it overdone.
	Talking French Jumeau This talking Jumeau had a "Ma-Ma, Pa-Pa" non-working voice box that was repaired, along with body repair.  To complete this lovely French Jumeau, she is wearing a replica of a French doll dress that she would have worn when new,  made by Antique Child Doll Restoration.
