Saturday in Dollandia

This past Saturday, I felt in need of some immediate gratification.  I came from the world of labor intensive porcelain dolls.  It's just not possible to make one in one day!  I instead chose to use Paperclay.  I don't often make my figures out of Paperclay, chosing instead (these days) to use ceramic clay.  I was very happy with the feel of the clay, the blendability and of course, the drying time!

I wanted a non-perfect, almost Tim Burtonish face and a very poseable body.  I made her body from wood and the arms and legs are Paperclay over wooden dowels.  I hope you enjoy seeing her!
