Sage is right, I do added a bit of red (just a hint) to my flesh along to pinken it up a smigden but other than that the peach reborns nicely
:)

Thanks Tina and Sara!!  I did the blue wash on the outside of the doll like I usually do, then I added the veins, and then I pounced on some flesh 08.  And Sara, I'm reborning a peach Conner too.  My concern was that Conner still looks quite blue even after adding the flesh 08--it is as if I didn't even add the flesh 08.  In fact the blue wash didn't seem to change the color of the kit either.  I'm planning on doing the berry maker technique as shown on Encyclopedia Part 1  DVD--will that be enough layers to warm up the blue?  I don't want to have to add many more layers after that because it might cover up the berry maker effect.  I'd rather add more flesh 08 layers now or add some pink like Tina-you suggested.  Is the peach Connor skin tone supposed to look more like the used Berenguer play dolls that I've reborn at this step in the reborning process (after doing the purple wash, the veining and the pounced on flesh 08)???  Because the other dolls I've done at this stage in the game look alot less blue/gray.  Thanks for your help--Jaden

To my knowledge, Secrist/AV kits are the only ones that call for the internal wash as most of the others are more opaque and not translucent like the Secrist vinyl. Only the German vinyl from DD is similar.
Like June (SaraZata) I only do the blue type coloring in the areas like the bridge of the nose, temples, etc. Anywhere where a babies skin tends to be thinner so the veining shows more.

As far as "color correction" on the vinyl, use your colorwheel with the posts found by searching the forum (type the words in the search box at top of page). Sounds like you may need a bit of it. If you're having difficulties with your baby, you can post pics in the artist showcase, or links to it in here to get help. Could be you may have given your baby a bit more of the blue and it's showing through more.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks everybody for your great suggestions!!  I already have an interested buyer who wants to see this doll when I am done. It would potentially cost me a sale if it wasn't for your help....I love this forum!!!!  Thanks much for helping me avoid a costly mistake!!  I'll keep checking this spot for additional imput in case someone wants to add something further....Thanks again--Jaden
