Making mould for Red Riding Hood LimitedEdition


Dsc_0820
Halfway through making the mould for the Red Riding Hood Limited Edition doll!  Seems to have worked so far.  The arms will be cast separately so they can beattached with wire and will be able to be poseable when finished.

This is my least favorite part of making dolls and I am not particularly good at it--it is a sticky, tedious process!

    Just received your beautiful book but only had time so far to view the gorgeous dolls.

    I have not cast any of my pieces for the same reason you give. It is my least favorite thing to do!

    Thank you for the kind words--I am glad you like the book! Just finished the mould and I have to say that once it is done, it seems worth it! You can also hire someone to cast it for you if you don't want to do it yourself!

    Thanks for sharing this Nancy.
    I am a bit scared of working with molds at the moment.

      I am sure you can do it if you want to. Just requires patience at first. It is something that you can also hire someone to do for you! Sometimes that makes a lot of sense to make your like easier! :)
