Thread: Paperclay dolls

Tweet

i just did my first doll! I used the paperclay people have talked about and LOVE it! not a single crack, easy to use and really did the trick! next doll ill use just a little more over the mouth...

painted with regular acrylics too

Nice job! She turned out great, although she can't speak for herself lol!

I like her, she looks really helpless.

That looks really good and creepy. I've heard that the paperclay is awesome to work with... guess I may have to pick some up and play with it seeing how good your dolly turned out!

you painted her with acrylics? how do you keep the brush strokes from showing?

yea im super happy with the paperclay so far. as for brush stroke, i used a really small brush. with just a little paint at a time.
s!
thanks guy

I rework dolls with paper clay and i keep from having paint strokes by covering hair with plastic bag and tape over eyes and spray paint...gives u a very nice and smooth base, then paint in details with acrylics..

thats a great idea!

That is a great idea imjustacreepygirl!!!!

Ladyalthea, how do you get the mouth smooth? Does fine sandpaper work best? Thanks!

well i wound up just using my finger and a little water. it worked ok. i like the idea of the hairspray before you paint though and iwll try that on the next one i think...
