New "Antique' Doll







 She's all painted now
and ready to assemble!


















 Here's the next dolly in progress. I'm going for a more antique feel with this one. I have again used paper clay over paper mache and have chosen to sculpt her hair. In my opinion, there's something slightly creepy about doll hair.... or maybe it's just that I haven't yet perfected the art of hair.  Fortunately for me, many of the old dolls had painted/sculpted hair.    @:-)

  1. Looking really good Daphne! I know what ya mean about doll hair being kinda creepy, especialy when they used human hair, eek! But I'm still going to give it a try soon. I just ordered some (don't gag);-)
    Did ya name your beautiful doll in previous post yet? Love her!

  2. Thanks Nan! Can't wait to see what you do with the doll hair. I know it will be totally fab and not creepy in the slightest. #:-)

    I resisted strong temptation and did not name her 'Claymilla Paperia'. In short, she is 'Emma'.
