----------------Welcome!----------------

Hello there and welcome to my blog!

Here, I will post the dolls that I make/customise dolls and I will reblog other artists’ work along with artsy aesthetic posts and possibly also unrelated content.

Unfortunately, I am not doing commissions but that may change as some point in the future so I will be sure to let you know if that ever happens :3

My favourite doll artist is Dollightful. (link to her channel is embedded) I have been watching her videos for years and her videos are what got me into this wonderful art form.

Feel free to ask questions but I do have to say that while I’m not a beginner to doll-making, I’m certainly not an expert either! Criticism is accepted but please be kind.

TLDR: Werewolf doll, not for sale A couple of weeks ago I finished making this werewolf doll that I had been working on for about a month! It's my first doll that I've made like this. (The other ones I've made have been fabric and not as detailed) 

I used a barbie doll head (although most of it was cut away to make room for sculpting) and body (widened the body by separating the two halves then putting them back together not all the way) The limbs were made out of popsicle sticks. For sculpting I used air-dry clay and Apoxie Sculpt. To seal the paint I used a mixture of PVA glue and water as I didn't have sealant. I'm so happy with the way it turned out!! The teeth and torso were very fun to sculpt. 

I was going to give the doll fur, but when I painted it, I realised the fur I had was completely the wrong colour so I decided to give the doll a jacket with Iron Maiden on the back.

Unfortunately I couldn't get good closeups of the feet (well, paws) 

I doubt that most would be interested but I would just like to say that this doll is not for sale as it was a birthday gift for my partner! <3
