Uneekdolldesigns Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hello to the Greenleaf community! My name is Debbie and I just joined today.My husband has built 3 doll houses for my mother and I got into doll character making for them so she would have plenty of characters to choose from and rotate in her homes. One house was a victorian, one was a more rustic version, the other was a cottage style. I love doll houses, wish I had room for a half dozen1 great to be here and meet some folks with like interests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Welcome to the "little" family, Debbie. I got started sculpting dolls because I detested the blah family I got for my Cambridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Did you open an album for your dolls yet? Is that a clothes pin doll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Did you open an album for your dolls yet? Is that a clothes pin doll?Indeed she has! I just clicked on Debbie's "Gallery" button and calling them "clothespins dolls" doesn't do them justice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Two questions, because I have seen the clothespeg dolls made this way: are yours jointed at the legs? And are the arms also jointed wood, or chenille/ pipe stems? I do full-body jointed sculpts in polyclay for 1:12 dolls, but for the 1:24 Mexican familia I'm thinking of a modification of the bead & pipestem dolls in Joan McElroy's book.

Uneekdolldesigns Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Hello! To answer your questions, these dolls are not jointed at the knees, they are made from straight wooden clothespins that I make a base for so they stand. The arms are actually wire covered in dried clay. If you want the arms in a certain position, you would have to bend the wire before putting on the clay and letting it dry.

havanaholly Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks for the info, I have seen directions for making the jointed peg-dolls, both with carved wooden arms and with the pipestems. You have most definitely improved on the art of the clothespin doll! I was especially impressed with George & Martha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
