Background: Salah was born in a small seaside town, but moved 3 years ago  when her father was offered a higher paying job in the city.  Her family is well-off, but she misses her old home and dreams of returning.  She's a complicated girl who appears simple at times.  She doesn't stand out, but everyone she meets wants to know the story behind her melancholy smile.

Comments: Muu........Salah is a doll I painted almost a year ago that I finally got around to repainting.  I wasn't too enthusiastic about this job because I've always had a heck of a time painting the B-type head.  I still do!  Originally, Salah had grey eyes and light purple lips.  I hated her from the moment I finished her.  Even now that she's been repainted with more normal coloring, I don't know what to think. ^_^;;.......Is the B-type head really that weird?   I don't know what kind of face it's supposed to emulate.  I can't say that it's my least favorite head mold, because I haven't used that many different head molds and there are quite a few cute commercial dolls with the B-type head (Claudia, Claudia, la la la ^o^!) Just don't let those eye-well deceive you.  This head is very hard to paint! -_-

The one thing I truly love about this doll is her hair.  Volks Classic Gold is lovely! ^_^  It has a nice bronze-y sheen and feels like silk.   I have an A-type head with this hair lying around my room, but I don't know what to do with it.  Make it into a boy?  Or a girl with curls?  I dunno.....^^

I haven't used black in a doll's eyes for a long time.  I'm afraid of it, really!
