First attempt at reborning

First attempt at reborning

Hello..I'm reborning the Ashton-Drake doll, Hush. (working with Genesis and using an oven) So far, I've stripped her, given her 2 layers of flesh..veins..mottling and a very light blush. Soooo, my "issue" is with the mottling.
I feel like it looks too frekled in some areas, instead of mottled. Does that make sense? Also on one arm, there is an area that is too intense, because I was a bit impatient and started when the doll was still very warm and it set before I could pounce over it. DOH!
Is there any way to "tone down" that dark area? Also do you think blushing the freckles would help blend them better? Or will I have to strip her down again? please say no to the stripping..lol
Thanks so much for all of your insight and help!!

Don't strip her

Just keeping doing washes (very thin layers) and it will tone the mottling waaay down and even things out. If you're not sure if you like her at a certain point, leave her and look with fresh eyes in a day or two.

Hope this helps!
