STRINGING A PRIMITIVE DOLL

I received a e-mail from a follower of my art dolls

asking if I had a tutorial of stringing a doll

I don't, and teaching is not something I do very well

But I took some pictures of the process of stringing one of my 

primitive ball jointed dolls

I start by making my hooks, and lying the doll out to be strung

also, I never string my work until it is finished

(but that is just me)

 all the fitting is done before I paint

using elastic beading cord and a long piece of wire

this is my process

  

my dolls are made from Japanese Paper Clay

sanded, painted with acrylic paints

and sealed with matte spray

Stringing is my favorite part of creating a doll

she comes to life
