Downlodable PDF Class, self-paced.
Antique Dolls Making tutorial sew and sculpt
Welcome to my world of fantasy artwork! I love designing, creating, sculpting, painting, sewing and decorating. It is so much fun to make something with your own hands, so satisfying!
I am excited to share with you my techniques I have developed for over 10 years of making art dolls and over thirty years of creating artwork. Whether you are using a sculpting method to create your art figures or sewing them, don’t you just feel the need once in a while just to play with beads, lace, buttons and ribbons? Admit it, we artists, love this stuff! What about tiny little flowers, rhinestones and lace? Did I mention experimenting with paints and antiquing the surface? Not on the box or another prop, but right on the doll! We will even patina some silver!
I have to confess: I absolutely love taking something new
and “aging” it! It is so much fun to see it “grow old” in front
of your eyes.
Maybe you can make your own fun memories by creating a doll of your childhood, something that you used to have a long time ago and forgot all about?
I will be using paperclay for this project, but please, don’t let it stop you, if you prefer polymer clay. The techniques I use will surely work on it as well!
As a little girl I never had lots of dolls. My favorite doll was the one I once found in a sandbox outside my house.WHAT IS IN THE CLASS:
