Leonor , A Paper Clay Doll

1. 

   This is my 2nd doll made with paper clay

   

   Lookin a little E.T. creepy

   

   Taking a different approach this time

I jointed her with floral wire so she is just slightly pose-able

First time using a sewing machine in 19 years , not perfect! but I'm happy with  it 

I am very pleased with how she came out , I like this way of making the body.She has kind of a Rag Doll feel to her but of course is still pretty fragile. I wouldn't recommend tossing her around :) I know this isn't really quite a  tutorial per se , I will do a more detailed one eventually.I am totally just getting the hang of this blog thing so bear with me . I am going to try a few more different ways of making dolls, until I figure out what works best for me and find my niche :) I found this really great tutorial a while back and definitely plan to give this a shot very soon. Especially since I have busted out the sewing machine and have some muslin fabric for the body laying around here somewhere! http://hamkaastostie.deviantart.com/art/How-to-sculpt-a-doll-tutorial-55889006?offset=10#comments    Thanks  Hamkaastostie ! Awesome tutorial , So very Helpful!

I used a light box to photograph her

 Also a good Link  http://www.studiolighting.net/homemade-light-box-for-product-photography/ if you need to take photos of items so long as they are not to big, although this is a pretty good size light box.I imagine you could even stick some smaller sized paintings in it and get good pics.I'm really glad I made one. It was on my do list before opening a new http://www.etsy.com/ store.Only cost me about 12 bucks.
