Shortly after I posted an introductory thread, I realized that I posted one months ago in 2012. Hello again, Everyone! I think I'd like to start this part of my artistic journey with a nice summary of past and upcoming experiences that I've had with doll-making! I didn't always have an affinity for dolls. Frankly, I found them quite creepy... with those stiff limbs, blankly staring eyes, strange hair... pursed lips. It was just too much! For the longest, I preferred ...
I had somewhat forgotten about this blog! But a comment reminded me it existed, haha. One of the things I said I would do was talk about sculpting clays and so forth. So far, I've used Creative Paperclay, Creative Paperclay Diamond, LaDoll Premier, LaDoll Satin, Super Sculpey, Apoxie Sculpt and Magic Sculpt.

Hello all, I came across a post today which spoke about msc and techniques on using it. I have a can that I am using and I would rather not expose myself to the stuff!

Instead, my first doll Niya stares down at me, looking thoroughly pissed off in a dolly sort ...
Yeah I just kind of disappeared from here! I had stopped working on Spice Holly after she was "done" kinda, then college happened. I'm finally in my holidays and I have tons of projects I want to do! I have some cosplay props to make, but I'll try making either a new doll or upgrading Spice Holly. Her hips broke (she can still hold herself together, but theres a huge gap) and well she's not that stable. I also need to make her new eyes. If I work on Plum Sugar, ...
