After Pete, Sid, and Garak can't sit up or lock their joints I want to try again on everyone. I've already learned a lot on hips and I need to apply what I did with Replacement Roger's knees. And there will be a replacement replacement Roger as the last jointed body is too heavy and other things to be practical.

Can I get a 'know what you mean' from other people who have tried to make dolls?


I got a dedicated toaster oven to put mine it- would turn it down really low and leave it in for a while. It helped a lot- esp. since I live hear the ocean and the air here is really moist- so stuff like this takes forever to dry. You might be able to pick one up for cheap at Goodwill, etc. I say "dedicated" because you shouldn't make food in it if you are using it for this type of thing.

Some of the clays say not to cook and this particular one dries quite fast. The way I work I just need some things to be a solid base before I can work on top of them. And I have a craft oven for the polymers. They just work in different ways.

I started a thread in tips and tricks about what clays work and what are just big bags of frosting or wet sponges. I must have bought Delight and Cloud in Opposite Land or something. But if it's only 2 brands out of the umpteen I'm testing that's pretty good.

I don't cook mine, just leave them on very low heat to help dry them out. Like I said the air here is so moist it will never dry out. I was using LaDoll paper clay.

I just want this pancake doll to be done so I can apply what I learn from it to the others. Until I get joints that will hold their poses there's no point in making anyone else. So far I think I have working hips. Tomorrow I start work on knees.

I now have 4 penny passport books for my smashed penny collection. two are basically full of pennies from various places, one is for pennies from caves and about 1/3 full and I got one today for just museums ^^ I could prolly have a full one just from zoos/aquariums.

I was just about to take a picture of Doll House listening to my heart, it would have been family friendly, for that old udder post way back when... After all he is a doctor. And I've had him for that long.

In making lemonade out of some of the air dry clays I bought to try out I made some repairs on the plaster positive I did of Schmendrick. The Kato head cracked on it's base, which tells me there's a shrinkage I wasn't expecting, so I want to try and something of him. I'm also pondering a full bodied version, or at least a soft bodied clay head and hands version.
