All
of the dolls on these pages are 1/12th scale (1" = 1')
dollhouse dolls. The ladies are 5 to 5 1/2 inches tall. All
of them are fully poseable. I made most of the ladies from a
miniature mold called "Beth" by Doreen
Sinnett. I also use miniature molds from Cynthia
Howe, Gina Bellous, Theresa Glissen, Stacy Hofman, Gisele Sullivan,
Yolanda Laracuente-Romero, Dawn Adams, Jana Joseph, Ayanna molds by
Deidra Bell, Parker Levi, Paulette Stinson, Emanjay, Loretta Kasza,
Beverly Parker, Marie Wheat, House of Caron, Mystic,
and other very fine miniature doll artisans for my Doll's House Dolls in
addition to my own original polymer clay sculptures.
I used a product called
Li-Qua-Che'
by Activa to make these dolls. Li-Qua-Che' is a great choice for those
artists who wish to reproduce their own dolls, or reproduce other
commercial doll molds. The doll needs no kiln firing and when dry is
break resistant. Raw castings are easy to clean, dry and paint, as
well as, being strong, durable and non-toxic. The painting can be done
with any non fire paint (oil or water based). I use Fiesta Translucent Oil Based Stains and a glazing technique.
I have provided a "Li-Qua-Che'
Tips" Page
for
anyone that is interested in trying this product. And you may feel
free to email me with any questions. I have been using Li-Qua-Che'
for several years and through trial and error have developed my own
techniques for working with this medium.
I
also make porcelain dollhouse dolls. |
This
lovely Geisha wears several, delicate, white silk Kimonos under a fully
lined rich red satin Kimono with gold metallic embroidered
dragons. The luxurious red satin was imported from Japan.
Her Obi is a richly embroidered black silk ribbon. She wears
traditional white split toe socks on her feet. Her hair is styled
in a traditional Geisha hairstyle and is adorned with red and gold
flowers, a delicately sculptured gold ornament, and a spray of
feathers. She has graceful hands with separated fingers. She
is fully poseable and can stand on her own without the use of a metal
stand. She was created using several artist's molds. |
