Introduce yourself

Hi Emma, good to see you on the forum! I am so excited to see you making dolls. How fantasic that you have a kiln and are going into porcelain. I saw your post from Jeanne's class, and you did excellent! Polymer clay is a great medium and I use it to make models for mold making. I actually started out using polymer clay 22 years ago! Have you tried Bee's Putty? I use Sculpey Firm for most of the figure, and then Bee's Putty for delicate hands (it's a really firm clay).

Keep us updated on your progess and any questions are welcome :)

Hi Lilli

In Jeanne's class we used sculpey natural doll and for the hands we used cosclay. I am gathering the supplies to be able to sculpt with as for the Christmas house I am working on I will make elves. First will be making moulds.

Still want to try using the kiln too of course. It’s a bit of a white elephant sat in the study. It’s only put to use as a side table at present!

Those a great clays. Cosclay is flexible right?

I know kilns are a bit intimdating at first. It's really a simple tool, but takes testing and using it over and over to really understand it. Go for it!

Hi Huberine, nice to meet you! Yes I follow you on Instagram and your dolls are so lovely! You are well on your way to making your own molds honestly. Sculpting is half of the battle! So glad I could help you. Let me know if you have any questions or ideas :)

Hi Lilli, thank you so much! That's very sweet! I have never worked with porcelain before, so I will have to do a lot of research, but I always like to learn new skills!

Porcelain is a wonderful material! I started making dolls in clay and I still use it to make models. I am hooked on porcelain though for the final result. I learned from many sources about porcelain. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll start posting more about porcelain in the group "Porcelain/Clay/Resin".

Hi Karin, I'm so glad to hear that you've joined! Yes, it's great to share and talk about the dolls and the community!
