This is my first paper clay art doll. I decided to make a character doll, not a realistic doll. I've finished her parts and painted them all with about 7 coats of flesh colored paint. Next I'll paint her face, add a finish of crackle to give her a vintage look and then add her hair. So far so good! I am really loving doll making! Bringing a lump of clay to life- there is a sense of satisfaction in this.
Last night I woke up at 3 am with my head spinning. I had so many ideas flashing in my head for future dolls, that I had to get up and write them down in my idea journal so I don't forget them. I can't wait to make them all!

Cool Cool Cool !! You have the DOLL fever LOL .. I like Jo Sonjas Crackle medium it makes nice fine crackles. See you soon
Yes, I do have the doll fever! And YOU and Colleen gave it to me! And I am so happy that you did! I'll look for that crackle medium. I found a small bottle of one-step crackle glaze that I used today and it worked well. I then rubbed on and then off burnt umber paint so the crackles show. So cool! onto the hair....
Oh,I can't wait to see her!!! That happens to me, too....lying in bed with ideas swimming everywhere!!!!
