    @@AmandaParkinsonArt Don't worry about length...I for one didn't want it to end! (I came here, looking for a solution to an issue I'm facing...may I ask your opinion? I have a Vintage(approx 35-45yrs old) Nativity set, with figures ranging from 3"-7", I believe they're made from a kind of bisque porcelain, and painted in very light, almst watercolorish pastels. Anyway, the main figure of baby Jesus, He's in a flat, "laying down" position, and a few years back, He had a terrible accident-His left arm snapped off. The figures-being Vintage, possibly even older and antique-certanly are irreplaceable at this point. I'm wondering if you might have any ideas how the piece could be repaired...and where? Thank you SO very much, from the bottom of my heart, this means the world to me!!

    For something this precious I would definitely be looking for a "doll doctor". They are sometimes at doll shows/fairs that come up throughout the year. I would call some of the doll show organizers and ask if they have contact details for a doll doctor or someone who specifically does porcelain repairs. If it was my own doll and I didn't still have the mould to make another one, I would use some white milliput to join the two pieces back together. It wouldn't be a perfect repair though and I think something that important should be repaired professionally. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I hope you find someone!

    What brand of sculpting clay do you like the best? Do you wait a day or more for it to harden before casting plaster?

  • @AmandaParkinsonArt

    This particular video is for making a polymer clay doll. I've used Sculpey's Living Doll Polymer Clay and baked it in the kitchen oven to cure it. I didn't cast this one.

    Can you put these eyes in the oven again after painting/applying resin?

  • @AmandaParkinsonArt
    @AmandaParkinsonArt3 ай бұрын

    yes they can go in the oven at the low temperatures required to cure the polymer clay. Sometimes the oils from the clay can cloud the resin a little, but all you need to do is apply some gloss glaze to the eyes when you have completely finished baking the doll. I hope that helps!

    You made it look so easy, this encourages me to try doing it myself. 🤓There is a hair color I'm wanting but it seems that color isn't readily available any longer as a finished wig in the size I need for my doll, so I want to try making my own. Thank you for this great tutorial! Can't wait to try making one myself! I especially love the top center "hole" insertion technique! I haven't seen anyone else do it that way, and I actually really like it much better than the long front-to-back straight part that I see many creators using. Brilliant!
