Sweet Personalised Hidden-Image Munny Doll Gift

I made this Kidrobot Munny for my girlfriend for Christmas this year, and I’d like to explain my reasoning behind it to begin with.  We were apart for a few weeks due to work and it got me thinking about all the little things that remind me of her. I wanted to make her something, and wondered if there was a way to include some of these little things into it.

Now I’m no artist, not by a long way, but I’ve always thought "hidden image" puzzles (like this) were cool, and that it’d be a good way to incorporate lots of unrelated pictures into a design. At the same time I wanted a physical object since it was a present, and I’d seen Munny dolls in shops before. Thus the idea was born!

It wasn’t a hard project, just took quite a lot of time due in part to my terrible skill at drawing, but the effort was extremely appreciated by my girlfriend! :)

Step 1: Materials

Pencil (use a dark pencil, since it’ll be easier to erase than a hard one)
Eraser
Pad for prototyping
Multi-color Sharpie markers
Matt Varnish
Latex gloves
Toothpicks
Hair dryer (optional)

note: I didn't just love it - I pretty much cried! best present ever!!! Also I forgot to mention .........While the varnish has dried completely, while it was still kind of tacky it got a little bit dusty so maybe keep it in the box until its completely dry!
