Cloth-over-Clay
It's been awhile since I've added a tutorial, so I thought I'd post some photos of my cloth-over-clay technique:
Super Sculpey:
Pressmold dusted with cornstarch first for easier clay removal (or can spritz the mold with water)
Removed from mold
Face refined
Tacky glue
Apply knit fabric, pouncing into face with stiff, dry paintbrush
Don't stretch fabric, start at the center of the face and work outward
Use tool or fingernail to press cloth into face details to further define
Wrap fabric around to back, trim when glue has dried
Paint with gesso, buff with piece of brown paper grocery bag
Paint with skin tone acrylic paint
Stitch to head

ODACA Helper Doll 2022
I've been working on my Anne of Green Gables doll, but have put her on hold while I make a doll for ODACA Day. I won't be attending this year, but will send the doll on for the raffle held at the ODACA Luncheon.
This is a new design I've been working on, with the intention of making a formal pattern. This doll is one of four prototypes.
I've named her Elora:
