Doll's House Dolls
I love to make the dolls for my dolls
houses. I make them out of polymer clay, with a wire armature, and then
dress them. I prefer polymer clay to porcelain because I can make them
myself, and the medium is perfect for adding individual expressions to
the faces. My main groups are the 'literary' dolls and the 'fashion' dolls.
The literary dolls are my idea of what the heroines
of various books would look like. On this page you can see Nancy, Elizabeth
Bennett, Jane Eyre and Guinevere.
I take a scene from the book and dress them accordingly. They are fully
poseable so I'll be able to put them in a future scene.
The fashion dolls are the beginning of a collection I'm trying to make showing the fashion of the twentieth century. I've tried to dress them to a year ('this season's well-dressed doll'). I've done mainly daywear, but I would like to do day and evening wear for every decade of the twentieth century.
