Maybe a pinkish red in the holes and cracks would give it a fleshy trypophobia feel. I like this effect as is though.

I agree, but only to a point. When “imperfections” affect the quality, functionality or integrity of the piece, then it’s no longer something about the “unique character” or “moment captured in time”. If a woodworker making beautiful doors for my home says a design flaw is “part of his process” I will find another craftsman. If I pay for a custom bag, and the leather is marked up accidentally and I am told to love it because it captured a “mood” my mood will be that is lazy workmanship disguised as artistic fantasy. Bubbles in porcelain can cause further cracking and expedite deterioration years later. I wouldn’t be charmed about an otherwise beautiful piece marred by bubbles, cracks and holes.

Tempest Doll
Doll's body with air bubble spots and painted cracks.
What most consider imperfections, I treat as an accidental pattern that I incorporate into design. I see it as a part of the doll's creation story. I am not the sole creator - the universe has left its 2 cents in it too. It is a testimony of each unique casting circumstances. Of how I felt, what was the weather, what were my decisions at this particular moments. It is the truth, a unique moment frozen in time. A moment, that will never be duplicated. So why to remove it?
