Other colors in mind!

Posted on by Atelier Miss Georgia Doll: Original Fashion Art dolls

As in my previous post, I already had other colors in mind. I had a few extra polymer clays that were never used. But I had to get more in order to produce the other four colors I have in mind. Do not think I will be able to work with these clays anytime soon. Kneading polymer clay takes a lot of time and patience. I intend to knead only one per month. I should be okay by the next summer vacation.

Comme dans ma précédente publication, j’avais déjà en tête d’autres couleurs. Je possédais quelques argiles de polymère en surplus et mais qui n’ont jamais été utilisées. Mais, j’ai dû m’en procurer d’autres afin de produire les quatre autres couleurs que j’ai en tête. Ne pensez pas que je pourrai travailler ces pâtes d’ici peu. Le pétrissage d’argile de polymère prend énormément de temps et de patience. J’ai l’intention d’en pétrir qu’un seul par mois. Je devrais être correcte d’ici les prochaines vacances d’été.

Kneading polymer clay

A whole work of kneading polymer clay was finished during my Christmas holidays. I am happy with the results. Four colors were produced: Vanilla, milk chocolate, latte, and caramel. I am already thinking about making other colors by the next month.

Tout un travail de pétrissage d’argile de polymère c’est terminé au cours de mes vacances de Noël. Je suis heureuse des résultats. Quatre couleurs ont été produit : Vanille, chocolat au lait, latté et caramel. Je pense déjà à réaliser d’autres couleurs d’ici les prochains moi.

Fukiko

Posted on by Atelier Miss Georgia Doll: Original Fashion Art dolls

Good morning! With this name, Fukiko, I am sure that you all aware that this doll was inspired from Japan beauties. Fukiko in Japanese means, joyous girl or child of a joyous women. Isn’t sweet and pretty don’t you think? My choice of clay was clear from day one. In my mind, only Fimo Puppen Porcelain was the best choice to make this doll to come true. However, I was a little afraid on the painting side due to the very pale effect of this clay once bake. To solve that problem, I mixed a few of Fimo Soft light flesh. At the end, the mix turned out to be a very light peach, closer to chalk white actually. Also, I discovered  after baking Fukiko, Fimo Puppen was very strong, solid and semi translucent and which I found very beautiful.  She’s is certainly one of my favorite dolls that I made so far. Enjoy!

Crystal eyes

Posted on by Atelier Miss Georgia Doll: Original Fashion Art dolls

Good evening! A few posts ago, I presented two different sets of hand made doll eyes created in Fimo Classic & Fimo Soft: one set only painted and the other ones were glass eyes. Though I was quit a happy with both results, I still wasn’t satisfied with them. I wanted something sophisticated and with a touch of fantasy.

Thank you for watching!

Changing clay (Living Doll)

Posted on by Atelier Miss Georgia Doll: Original Fashion Art dolls

Good evening! By the end of the 2012, I decided to tried a new polymer clay: Living Doll. From various forums I eared this clay was excellent and was used by doll makers worldwide. It is also perfect for beginners and those who like working with a softer polymer clay. I agree with this, since it’s texture is easy to work with and can be mixed with any of the Sculpey or Premo clay to create intermediate flesh colors. The color palette is more realistic than Fimo clay. However, I wasn’t quite sure with this clay since I was use to work with more brutal and rough clay. Also, I found various techniques to condition tougher clay. The best solution for me was to test this clay by creating several doll heads and others with a mix of Fimo Classic and Soft.

New set of eyes

Posted on by Atelier Miss Georgia Doll: Original Fashion Art dolls

Hi everyone! After a month of practicing more heads, feet and hands, it was time for me to create new set of doll eyes. This time, I tried to use glass eyes, but still wanted to paint irises with acrylic paints and a mix of Fimo classic and Fimo Soft polymer clay. The end result was…OK at that time. In future posts, I will show you other glass eyes I was working on.

Thanks for watching

Katherine Dewey’s book

Posted on by Atelier Miss Georgia Doll: Original Fashion Art dolls

Good evening! When I’ve started to sculpted dolls in early 2012, I’ve made a lot research on how many doll artist have started to make their own dolls. Back than, I felt a little like a homeless and I didn’t have any connections or a mentor to help me out. However, one day by reading Doll Reader magazine, there was an advertising on a book called CREATING LIFELIKE FIGURINES In Polymer clay by Katherine Dewey. I was hooked and by magic, I didn’t feel alone anymore. I’ve decided to by this book on Amazon as a Christmas gift in December 2011 and read it half a dozen times before I’ve started to mold anything. This book is easy to read and to fallow for every beginners, especially if you’re interested in polymer clay.

Fimo Classic Chocolate

Posted on by Atelier Miss Georgia Doll: Original Fashion Art dolls

Good evening! By the end of summer 2012, after Ally, I’ve sculpted one head sculpt in Fimo Classic Chocolate. It gave me the chance to test my face up on darker skin tone which I’ve never did. I was hooked with the result, but I did do a lot of recherche on dark skin shadows and light effect. From that moment, I felt more confidant with my sculpting and painting skills.

Fimo Classic & Fimo Soft

Posted on by Atelier Miss Georgia Doll: Original Fashion Art dolls

Hello to you all! Yesterday, on my post on Ally, I explain how disappointed I was with Fimo soft and the doll. But this sad experience didn’t stop me from experimenting. In stand, I had the idea to mix both Fimo Soft and Fimo Soft. The mix of these two clay was a hard one for my hand. The flesh color of Fimo Classic is a bit darker than Fimo Soft. But at the end, it was fun one and the result was great, I really liked the color and love the feeling on my hands (none greasy). However, I would used it only for practicing heads, hands and feets only, but no dolls.

Love
