DOLLS AND FIGURES |
|
| I prefer hand sculpted dolls made
from polymer clay to china ones made from moulds. A
miniature person for the dolls house should have an
individual appearance just as a real person has. Even if
such dolls have imperfections compared to the beauty of a
china doll they are still more true to real life. My dolls have been sculpted from Fimo with stuffed felt bodies over wire armatures to give them some movement to pose them. At present I haven't made many dolls and haven't made any at all for several years. As soon as I can find time I am looking forward to making many more. Not only do I enjoy making the dolls but also creating their clothing and hair styles. Here are some I have made. |

She has rich auburn hair done up in ringlets and decorated with a single pink ribbon rose and feather. She wears petticoats and bloomers and her shoes are light tan leather. |
