CREATING PLASTER MOLDS FOR PORCELAIN DOLLS


started my new doll molds for this year
planning on 3 new dolls


setting up my little Deer head
I had concerns about the horns and ears
having never done ears
my sculpts are paper clay sealed with enamel
but they still are fragile 


for me this method works the best
my dolls are small
and making walls out of the plastine clay works great


first side cleaned up and parting solution painted on in 
three coats then set aside overnight to dry


walls up, second pour fingers crossed



TaDa wiped clean my little Deer head turned out perfect
6 years and over 20 molds sets
starting to feel confident in this difficult art form 


rubber bands and set to dry for a couple weeks
excited to test them out
