These minis have me a little obsessed lol. So I revamped the process and now Snow White looks huge next to mini.

My previous life as a process designer for Bank of America keeps creeping into my crafting life LOL. We went from Snow White at 5 inches (and losing some parts of her eyes) to a better process with Jasmine at 4 inches to more process changes and landed with Snow White at 3 inches. Snow White at 3 inches has more details in her eyes than SW at 5 inches. I'm in love! Btw SW5 looks gigantic now hahaha.

So the key is to slice the smaller pieces out of the bigger pieces. Instead of the small white pieces of the eyes going on top, it's going to be a bigger rectangle that goes in the back. So there are no small pieces to deal with!!! Same with her teeth.

Instead of having small pieces for the eyes, slice them out of the black so the white and brown pieces are bigger and show through from behind.

And that means these characters can maybe be 3 inches!!! I know ... nerd excitement over nerd details. Lol. Can’t help it!!! πŸ˜‚πŸ€ͺπŸ˜β€οΈπŸ˜œπŸ’œ.

Should I continue to work on this process? Or are minis a waste of time? I mean more of a waste of time than usual πŸ˜πŸ€£πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚.
