Amy is her name...

She now has her shoes and her hair accessory, I love the color combination for her, her dress looks simple but rich in the same time.
I enjoyed making her shoes as well, they fit her great and look nice too.
She is already sold in is on her way to her new home.

New wig and dress

I finished making her dress, now I only left to make her shoes and maybe a flower to decorate her beautiful hair.

New girl is Asian

She is getting her hair styled :), I will probably make one more wig for her.
This week I will be working on her simple asian dress, I already decided on the style and have some beautiful fabrics for it.

Sculpting a new face tutorial

Today I started to sculpt new face in polymer clay, which then I will mold and make a new doll. So I decided to take a few pictures to show how I sculpt my faces.
 So I start with a layer of white clay over an aluminum foil, then I add clay in flesh color, about  3mm thick, the reason for it is that I like to see the depth of face features, keeps it more proportional for me:

At this point I don't bother with the back of the head, I will do it in the end, or sometimes even after I bake the face.
I poke the holes where the eyes will be and now is when I see the little white clay underneath so I know where to stop.
Small lump of clay for the nose : 
  

and I smooth everything out, shaping nose and eyes :

 Shaping top lip and eyes :

 

Cute profile :

 

I know she is not a beauty yet :), and the hardest part for me is - eyes :

 

 So eyes had to go, so I smooth them out, the nose and lips are fine - I rather love them :

This is more like it :

 

At this point I need to put her aside, the clay is too warm from my hands and makes it difficult to handle, I will let it cool down for a few hours, then will shape the features some more and add ears.
After that I will bake it and will make a mold, so you will be seeing this girl in the future :). This is how the faces on my girls come to life, I love sculpting them, and for some reason they do always come out different from each other. 
It is of course  not a "must do", it's just the way I find more comfortable for me. I hope you enjoyed it :).

Adriana's auction!

I've listed Adriana on eBay, here is her auction!

Yellow dress girl

So here is Adriana, she has a dark red hair wig and lovely yellow dress, shoes I made in fabric.
I will list her on eBay Sunday evening for 7 days.

10.5 and 12.5 inch dolls together.

Only two inches difference but she looks so much smaller,  I forgot how delicate they were when I first started making them a few years ago. She is a commission order and it was nice making her.

My new girl will be a red head actually, I will be making her wig next week as well as her dress.
