Tiny Paperclay dolls ...Cupcakes and "Weirdo Princess"!







This is another tiny paperclay doll that is now complete. I thought her face was soft and sweet like a cupcake...so there you go!
Her Dress is sewn from vintage "flea market" lace..and the detail on her shirt is just watered down acrylic paints painted with a fine brush to bring the Flower details of the lace out....i coated this with a thick medium that dried clear. She has a tiny polymer "candy baby" with her...and she also has some of those same polymer candies on her outfit..they are coated with "triple thick"...my "new favorite glossy topping!" , and glass glitter.
Her cupcake hat is make out of polymer and Golden's "stucco" medium. I made the base, the cake part out of hollowed polymer, then added a little tissue paper coated with polymer medium. After that was baked, I "swirled" stucco medium, which was lighty and fluffy (a tiny bit gritty), just liked frosting! I painted, coated it with polymer medium and sprinkled with glass glitter.


Weirdo Princess's cat is fabric, coated with some paperclay to build up her face. She was sanded...painted and sprayed with "duncan porcelain" spray. It gave her a muted ceramic like look which I really liked because I had painted her too bright and glossed her...she looked, well, "not good"! Then I just took a chance and sprayed her with this "Porcelain look " spray...and it was exactly what I was looking for..a muted vintage look. Her collar is a string of vintage diamonds.
