 | Dollmaking with Papier Mache & Paperclay by Doris R. Gottilly
If you've always wanted to make beautiful and unique dolls without investing in expensive equipment and materials, papier-mache and paperclay are for you. These materials are inexpensive, versatile, and air dry in your workshop in just a few days. Sculpting is easy -- just roll out the clay and apply it to an armature. If you don't like the result, add more clay or take a little off, even after it dries. When you're satisfied with the sculpture, let it dry and paint it. If you make a painting mistake or don't like the look, just paint over it. Then complete your creation with handmade hair and a costume. When finished, your one-of-a-kind figure will compare to art dolls that sell for $200 and more. In Dollmaking with Papier Mache and Paperclay, noted dollmaker Doris Rockwell Gottilly shares techniques and knowledge gleaned from 25 years of sculpting experience to help even the novice dollmaker fashion impressive, unique creations. Gottilly provides clear instructions and step-by-step photographs and illustrations to help you create a wide variety of characters including Queen Elizabeth, Baby Doll, Harlequin, Beast/Prince, and even a goat and bunny! Every step of the process is explained and illustrated in full detail. You'll learn how to make hair, bodies, armatures, costumes, and of course, how to sculpt heads and faces, arms and hands, and legs and feet from papier-mache and paperclay. The book also includes patterns for doll bodies and costumes. AUTHOR: Doris R. Gottilly
