MINI-STELLO, MADE WITH KRIZZE'S SUPER SCULPEY

March 2005:

This is the first doll I made with Super Sculpey parts - see the clay test page for more about making the actual doll parts.. Saija had challenged our list members to making a doll version of ourselves, so the timing was good to combine Super Sculpey test and the competition. Mini-Stella became rather more glamorous than myself, but I'm not complaining, eh!

Starting to put her together.. I didn't have any fabric or flexible tape for making the body, so I used toilet tissue! This was also the first time I had a hot glue gun (my dear Gregory..) assisting me in doll-making, thanks to Satu!

Hmmm.. I managed to make the arms too long again, but who cares.. LOL

I've been mummified! But wait.. My doll is too skinny.. Must fatten her up..

Toilet tissue bum.. (Actually, that sounds kinda sick) I've also hot-glued the sleeves on, and painted the boots and legs with black acrylic paint.

Toilet tissue tummy and boobies.. I've also painted my face, ending up with more makeup than what I normally wear. This is what I'd look like if I was bald, and if I had a very small head (actually my head is kinda big..)

The skirt is on..

And now we are fully dressed - yet still bald!
          
Tadaa, we have hair! My hair options were between this wool, which was too red (my hair hasn't been that red since I stopped dying it, back in '99), and another material which would have been too bland, though I wasn't even able to find it at the time.. It was only after the doll was finished, when I remembered I'd have a full envelope of my OWN hair somewhere - though I've no idea where that is, either. My hair is not that wavy, either - except right after I've washed it.

I think my doll is sporting a bit of a difficult teenager face.. Suits me, I'm only 33.. LOL

She has a dodgy eye, too..

My doll could sing opera?

She doesn't have the dodgy nostril I have..

"I'll show ya"..
          
My bum is bigger..

Guess who's who.. LOL
          
Just doing more poses..

She looks like she's just forgotten something..

About to wipe a tear?

Or saying "oops.."?

The boots..

Something in her eye..

Jeez, I never realised I took that many pictures in the same pose..
          
*yawn...*
          
Here she's definitely whispering..
          
Woohoo, we have a new pose!

Protective..

Moving on to more face close-ups..

Here's both of us in the webcam..

See, my hair's less red..

And now I'm imitating my doll!

I'll post pics of my doll in my dollhouse, one of these days..
