  1. She is really coming along. So this is your first time working with an armature of this nature? Can't wait to see the finished doll.

  2. Looking good... I thought all your dolls were clay?! or is it just the armature that is different?

  3. Hi ladies ;0)
    It is my first time and I was quite daunted at first, but she has come along nicely, will post more pics of her completed within next couple of days x
    Abi they are, she is made of clay (paperclay) over wire & foil so yeap just the wire that is different here...wig was quite a task / new undertaking too.
    She was good fun to create and lessons were learnt on the way :-)
    Thank you for taking the time to leave a message / ask questions

  4. Can't wait to see her finished! The dress is just beautiful. How do you like working with paperclay? I recently bought some, but have not had the chance to try it out yet.
    Enjoy your weekend!
    Cheers,

  5. Hi Roxanne :0)
    I like working with paperclay on cloth dolls, this was my first experience of using it for full sculpt over wire/foil.
    I have completed her now but she does remind me of a wonderland Alice...
    OOoo let me know how you get on with creative paper clay.
    I really like working with sculpey original for folk art dolls. I will try another armature soon but I will make fingers via wire and more clay on legs / arms = less wadding areas.
    Have fun my friend
