Clay Dolls

A Bit of This, and a Bit of That!

Clay Dolls and Sculpting Tips

After I began learning to sculpt dolls with polymer clay, I realized that I could have begun with much more simple projects! But, I was "into" it and enjoyed it and searched the internet for all I could find on the subject. I'd like to share some of the sites that I've used to help me learn about the artful craft. I'm still building and adding, but please, meet "Mildred", my first doll and see some of the dolls that are models to which I aspire!

This is Mildred! She was my very first clay sculptured doll, a little rough around the edges, but I do love her!

It appears that Mildred has a cast on her foot! True! I decided it was easier to cover up my mis-matched foot! So, poor Mildred suffered an injured foot but said, "Shoot, I'm going shopping anyway!"
