Today I got some time in to sand and paint the arms and legs of these tiny dolls. I painted them with Hannie Sarris paints...this gives such a beautiful finish....I do love the easy coverage this paint gives. I then sprayed the parts with Duncan super matte spray. It goes on shiny...but dries to a beautiful soft matte finish.
I sewed up two tiny bodies using a very easy pattern I created to fit perfectly into the paperclay upper bodice that I sculpt for these dolls...I Hollow the center of the bodice out, leaving a short armature wire that goes into a small opening at the top of the fabric body. I Hot glue the two parts snugly together.

Hay Colleen,

I really like how these are coming along! Really beautiful work. I have been wanting to try Hannie's paint. I custom mix a flesh color, then mix a pearl metallic into it. It gives it a soft shimmer.
The love of the finished work shows in the detail . Looking forwards to seeing them in person one day.
