Der November ist meist grau, die Sonne schafft es dieser Tage kaum durch den Hochnebel oder die dicken Wolkenschichten. Der Tag beginnt und gefühlt ist er auch gleich wieder vorbei. Die Tage sind kurz. Die wenigen hellen Stunden kostbar. Jede einzelne Minute, Sekunde.......... Genauso kostbar ist das Gefühl, dass mich überkommt, wenn ich solch ein Puppengesicht sehe. Man kann es einfach nicht abstreiten. Kestner Puppen haben etwas magisches, zauberhaftes und sie erhellen mir den noch so trüben Tag. Ihnen hoffentlich auch. Das Schneeflöckchen hier ist ein Kestner Kind, hergestellt um 1897 gemarkt: made in K Germany 14 146

This is my gift to you. I spent a lot of time last night trying to capture images as I create my next doll. She will probably be about a 4 inch doll when she is completed. I could not photograph everything that I did, only because I don't have a third hand to hold the camera while I am working. So, this is not a complete tutorial as would be possible with a video camera. But, I have tried to give you the highlights of how I go about creating one of my little ones. I could not show all of the tweaking and smoothing I do for my dolls because I sometimes spend hours working on a piece until I get it the way I want. I hope you enjoy looking at the process and please check out all of my new work as it appears here on my blog, on Ebay, and on my web site at www.toodlesocks.com I appreciate your support and hope you appreciate my effort to teach you how to sculpt like I do.

I couldn't work in my sewing room today, so I decided to do some stockinette application. I had several dolls that I wanted to add stockinette. The doll below had been a cloth doll and I experimented with applying stockinette bandage materials. It ended up being far too prominent, so I tried to put another layer of smoother stockinette on. The stockinette didn't work because I tried to use regular Elmer's glue, and it doesn't dry fast enough to grab the fabric. So I pulled it off and smoothed the glue to let it dry and will try again with a faster drying glue. Here are the other three that were slated for covering with fabric. I was able to do the smaller two dolls. Here's what the little ones look like. The front one is any Izzy inspired creation and the back one has had more experiments than I can count. By the time I got them done I was DONE with Adventures with Glue. I'll let this dry, and then will put a layer of gesso on the fabric.
