This should be fun ... are there any limitations ? creative opportunities or is it pretty much open and make her look good ?

I only spent half an hour on it. It could be tightened up some more with another half hour or so.

Braces are the hardest thing in the world for me. Looking forward to some tips from this thread!

I dunno. I'm not completely happy with it but I spent too much time on it already. If I keep going (which I really really wanna do) I'll never get anything else done. smile

It just doesn't look...quite right. But I tried.

That's what I thought too. I just get stuck sometimes on the simple things and have no idea how to proceed. The artistic portion of my brain was shut off a long time ago. smile

Thanks. Now I know what to concentrate on. And you always may offer me advice if you want.

If I'm only allowed one try, go with my first one. This one was just to see if I could fix what I screwed up in the other attempt.

Your contest. Your rules. You're the final judge. But, according to your own rules and subsequent statement on the rules, replacing the teeth is not against the rules. Unless you want to argue semantics instead of intent.

Just sayin' smile
