Polymer Clay miniature Sculptured Doll and Toys

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are well. After finishing 'Le Forge' I miss not doing anything especially now being so frustrated waiting for the baby to come. I really relax when I come to my miniature hour and I always look forward to it.

Before the baby arrives I won't start building my next project but I am doing some polymer clay miniatures to keep myself busy and to clear my mind for a couple of minutes. 

New Toys for 'Little Angel's Toy Shop'

For the last couple of days I had this obsession to try to sculpture a doll, well at least a small little toy doll. As I am still quite a beginner in polymer clay I knew that this task was going to be quite difficult. So I started off by shaping her head and body. I have done her legs and arms separately so I could join them to her body with wire. This would have helped to pose her in different positions.

After baking her I joined her limbs with wire and painted her facial features. I also painted her socks and black shoes. They where quite tricky to do but I have manged to do a good job.

 Then I dressed her up with some colorful small floral patterned material, added some ribbon and lace and gave her golden curly hair. I was so thrilled that I finished her off. She's not perfect but I am really pleased with her. I have called her 'Bettina'. As I don't have a nursery for my next project. I decided to give little Bettina to 'Little Angel's Toy Shop'. I have asked the shop keeper if she would look after her till a new mummy will pick her. The lovely shop keeper was so happy to keep her and here she is in her new home.

The next day after making Bettina I really grew attached to her and I went back to 'Little Angel's Toy Shop' to see how she was doing. I asked the shop keeper if Bettina was being a good doll. The shop keeper didn't have any problem with her behavior but she was concerned that Bettina was feeling a bit lonely sitting on her rocking chair waiting for the right mummy to pick her up. So I went back to my table to make some more toys to keep Bettina company.

I have made a little teddy just for Bettina so she could carry it with her wherever she went and I did a lovely working Hobby Horse to stay with her.

 After finishing these toys I took them to 'Little Angel's Toy Shop' and Bettina was really excited to see her new companions. The shop keeper was happy to see Bettina being so joyful.

I hope you all liked my new toys. Please do keep tuned as I have some more miniatures to share with you.

Take Care and see you soon.
