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
