When you act sincerely believing that your actions can make a difference, you awaken extraordinary strength within yourself. Every choice you make, every gesture you make, has the potential to change lives, even if you don’t immediately realize it.
Good Tuesday everyone. After several months of work, I finally finished my six art dolls. As you can notice, these dolls look more like puppets with cartoon features. Indeed, they do not look like the dolls I have been working on for the last three years with more natural faces. But, this time, I purposely sculpted the features (eyes, nose, and mouth) of the face very close.
Which gives this very puppet look that I like. Do you like this approach? I count for my future doll projects to return with more natural faces. In short, that’s it for me. I will take a few weeks off, and then work on other dolls of course. But don’t worry, several posts and videos will be published over the next few weeks with several photos of my new art dolls. Until then, have a very nice summer everyone.
Here is a brief overview of the creative process. I am inspired by the romantic sporty look which is a mix of taffeta materials, vinyl, and fabrics with romantic thick weave. Bright colors will also be very important. I’m excited for what’s next… Stay connected and see you soon.
I’m moving forward with wig making and this time I mainly used human hair for five dolls and mohair for one doll. I must admit that the use of mohair is wonderful. It seems more suitable for miniature dolls.
I’m done with the painting, but I still have a few small details to retouch, including the pause of the eyelashes. Here is the first stage of painting (first photos) and the second stage of painting (second image)
Hello! I’m happy to tackle painting. It will take several coats of acrylic paint for each of the dolls. I plan to finish everything by Friday and start making the wigs.
Hello to all doll lovers! The sanding of my dolls is finally finished and I can now move on to the painting stage. A step that I appreciate a lot since my dolls will come to life. So, a busy day awaits me. Thank you for your support to all of you and see you soon.
Let’s go! The long and laborious work of sandblasting and drilling each doll has begun. Safety is paramount! Gloves, lab coat, hair net, protective glasses and mask with filter are all a necessity! I decided to do this work outdoors for better lighting and ventilation.
After two months of laborious work, I finally finished sculpting my six dolls! The heads and shoulders are reduced. The eyes are handmade with crystal and polymer clay. Now I will have the long work of sandblasting and polishing. Thank you for your patience and Iβll see you soon.
Hi everyone! I continue this publication with the sculpting of the bodies of my dolls. The work is rewarding. I didn’t think I would enjoy making such small dolls so much. The head and shoulders will be removable. The final size should reach 30 cm (12 inches) once the heads are assembled. I’m excited with the end result. There’s a good chance I’ll have it all done next week. Thanks for your patience and see you soon.
