Lillian Alberti Paperclay Doll Armature Class

Wow!!!  This weekend I hosted an armature class by Lillian Alberti at my house !  It was a fantastic weekend,  we learned so many valuable techniques to creating a good strong armature. And we learned tips on celluclay and its ability to build up the armature, then finally covering it with a thin layer of paperclay.




Everyone stayed  for the weekend... we ate good food, inspired each other.....and worked late into friday and saturday night!

This is a picture of Lillians mouse dolls that she just completed!  I love these dolls, they really are perfection...she made the little cakes too!

Also, Lillian with my "Moon",  he is a "naked" sphynx...some day I will make a little doll with "moon's" head!




Lillian was a great teacher, she was patient and just so inspiring!  I really appreciate her art and her ability to share her knowledge........
