hey! Work on my new doll has been in progress! it's on a bit of a hiatus atm because I need more clay and Xmas is destroying my wallet!

I am trying new techniques this time! I used my finer wool-fibre to sand and a make-up brush to paint, I got the idea to use a make-up brush since they are soft and meant to transfer foundation to your face without streaks, also just for the fact the brush was bigger than the paint brushes I own and I can't afford to spend £20 on a paintbrush, since going to buy cheap products will only give me a negative result when I want to move forward.


I've decided on trying to make this doll ball jointed! it's complex but I need to challenge myself to progress, don't I?


Also he is my first little Elven dolly! ^.^


Also another thing I'm trying out is to not use paint and use pastels, they blend better and give a more life-like effect!


just about finished! I am very pleased with the outcome of the changes I made! the difference is just amazing!


I was impatient and tried to make his own wig here, I failed.
No word of a lie I got his wig in the post the next day! 
I had to custom fit it to his head as it was slightly too big, that was a nightmare since it was a very long wig!! and I had to cut and style it which took about 3/4 hours. This is difficult since I had nothing to prop the wig on. I tried to improvise and use things like my hairspray can but it wasn't going to work, hahaha,

Anyway, his head is complete now and he patiently awaits the creation of his body!
