Interesting, but why are the dolls frowning?☹️

You would frown too if your soul was trapped in a vessel of fabric.

Yeah that's also what I thought, but then I noticed it's actually the nose, the smile is lower on the face! Interesting design choice... Wholesome though

Unless the smile is actually the chin

Man, I am trying; really, really, trying to force my brain to see them that way and it just refuses to. Those are way too wide to be a nose and the "mouths" are way too low and weirdly off center. I can only see frowny faces.

The artist doesn't need my backseat doll designing, but I also think the faces would emotionally read better if the noses were smaller and the smiles were higher and darker. In many photos only the nose is visible and the mouth is obscured.
