They are made using recycled materials, clay and then painted. I was introduced to a product called powertex - a fabric hardener at a craft show and have used this on their hair and clothes.
Ione - Art Doll
They seem to have developed a character of their own, and at the moment I am just playing but hope over the next few weeks to try a few variations and experiment further - I have so many ideas!.
Ione - Art Doll
I like the way she turned out, with her shawl and flowers, lace on her skirt.
Each doll measures aprox 7 inches tall and have been decked out in their finest shawl and some bling
Delores - Art Doll
This doll felt like a Delores for some reason - not sure I will part with these Art Dolls, but will be making some more to put on my Etsy store and website
places to go, people to see!
Making the dolls is a very satisfying activity, one that I didn't realize I would enjoy quite so much, so do come back and see what else I make
Ione and Delores take time out waiting for the finishing touches
