Paperclay (LaDoll)
OMG this stuff is lumpy.
Still rough--she's sandable, which is nice, and I was able to get eyes in her last night. I have not begun to ear with her ;)
Here's Benny, who is all white normal sculpey.
I started him while I was waiting for Tasha to dry a little, and to see how easy Sculpey was to work with compared to LaDoll. The sculpey is harder to deal raw with because any touch mars it, but I am hoping once he's cooked he'll be sandable as well.
I need to go find refs for both of these, so far I have just been poking at them with a crochet hook and a letter opener without much to look at.
Benny is updated now, though still not finished. At least he is NS now.
Wow Fish that head looks amazing!!! Are you a secret doll artist?
ReplyDeleteHaha heck no but thank you! I am even more impressed you can get this stuff to bend to your will!
DeleteYou can add more water and work it until it's soft, just like regular 'dirt' clay. It really does need to be kneaded and worked, and on hot days you might put a wet cloth over it. Basically, treat it like real clay, I think that's why so many artists like it. I agree, nice modeling!

I added more water and stirred like crazy today, and that helps a lot!
DeleteI like Bennie better than any of the commercial dolls!
ReplyDeleteHe's a heck of a lot more affordable, and thank you! <3
DeleteBoth Benny and Tasha need lots of work--Benny needs to be redone from scratch and Tash still needs ears, but it's so much fun I don't mind that they look like someone made them "on their knee" as the Russian saying goes ;) Eric sounds impressive! Does he still do art?
ReplyDeleteIt's the thought that counts!! LOL! He does indeed sound talented..and smart!
