This is my first attempt at creating a doll from scratch (well, creating any doll for that matter...) But I want to emphasize that I am starting with nothing and creating everything that constitutes a doll. Big task! I am also fairly new at using Paperclay as an art medium, but I absolutely adore the malleability and ease with which it can be manipulated when wet and then further manipulated with sandpaper when dry to create a smooth and "porcelain-like" finish.

this arm and hand took me all day!! but I think it turned out pretty good! Now to make one more just like it - ha!
Yay for makeup and hair!
I wish I had taken more pictures while putting together the wig. With some sewing skills and a little patience I think it turned out pretty good for a first attempt. My doll is finally starting to look a little less scary!!! Hair is hand sewn mohair - the hair was super fun to do and really gave my doll some personality!
Now I just need to attach the legs and arms, make a dress, and give her a name!
What should I name her???
