Sculpt 8, polymer clay OOAK baby girl

 This tiny girl has  loads of character, lol.  I painted her with Genesis heat set paints, and I am really happy with the way her skin tone turned out.  I will never go back to blushing with chalk again.

Polymer clay OOAK baby

 I'm learning to sew and made her little onesie and skirt, attaching it to a crocheted bodice.

 Here whispy baby fine hair is mohair,and she has two tiny ponytails.  \

I added a few photos with my hand to show scale  She's about the size of my index finger.

 I made the crib for the last doll, out of plastic canvas.

I had fun making this one!  She has the best hands and feet out of any of my sculpts so far, but her ears are weird, lol.

Little outfit for little OOAK polyme boy

 I have a beautiful Kenmore sewing machine that I hardly ever use and I finally pulled it out in order to try to sew some tiny clothes.  I had to learn how to thread the machine and bobbin all over again, it's been so long, and I've only sewn a few items before this, so it was a real challenge, but I'm very happy with the result.

 The white material is from my Dad's old undershirt, and the applique and blue ribbing is from a stained baby shirt.  I still have to add the snaps on the back of the little nightshirt.

Plastic canvas crib with built in drawers

 I made a simple baby stacking toy out of buttons, stacked and glued, with a cut bit of skewer glued on top.  The book is from a printable I found on pinterest, and the blocks are beads.  The doll's name is Phillip but I didn't have enough to spell his name out so settled for Max, lol.

 I really love this crib.  It's from a pattern meant for Barbie and hr babies, and it fits my OOAK polymer clay sculpt perfectly.  The mattress is really just a piece of foam board encased in fabric; same with the pillow.

 I needle felted the teddy bear quite some time ago.  I think it's pretty cool that I made everything in the photo; even the doll eyes.

 The white onesie below is a practice onesie.  It's quite a bit bigger than the little nightshirt I made because it's from an actual baby sized pattern, shrunk by 50 %.  I'm going to try one shrunk by 70% tomorrow.  This was the first time I did sleeves.

Below are some of my polymer clay baby sculpts and the plastic canvas furniture. I'm having so much fun with this!  I can't wait to start my next doll, but first I want to learn how to make fabric doll bodies.

Sculpt 7, Pouty girl in polymer clay

OOAK baby girl in polymer clay

 This is my latest attempt at sculpting, and my biggest baby doll yet (I still have to measure her).

OOAK baby girl, sculpey living baby

 I wanted to make a pouty faced toddler and this is what I came up with.  I made her eyes by hand, and they're a pretty green, but I ended up covering most of the whites as I sculpted.

OOAK pouty baby

 I made a scull for her first, out of tinfoil and polymer clay; baked it, added the eyes, baked it again so the eyes wouldn't move while I sculpted.  I think I'll do it again this way as it's the only way I can make sure the pupils are facing the same way, lol. 

 I ran out of the normal wire that I use to put loops in the limbs so they can be sewn to the body and the wire I used broke as soon as I pulled the sewing thread tight.  I had to saw off the end of all of the limbs and redo them.  I had to open another bar of clay, and even though I used the exact same brand and color, the  new clay was several shades darker so this poor baby has limbs that are darker on all of the ends.

I tried adding a layer of clay to her head so I could root it and it was a huge disaster.  Not only did the hair look awful, the extra clay distorted her poor head, so I had to use a big wig to cover it up.

 Thankfully, the wig does a great job of returning her head to normal proportions, especially after I trimmed it.  The wig suits her, too.  In my mind, she's about 2 years old.

 Her feet are so cute; these have to be the best feet I've made yet.  I love her little round toes, lol.

Peek a boo!

 Here she is showing off her discolored upper thighs while playing peek a boo, although her diaper (pull ups, lol!) and panties cover most of the worst of it.

 I really am going to have to learn how to sew as I'd like to be able to make some nice doll bodies, and clothes, too.  I love crocheting but it would be nice to be able to make some cute little onesies for the dolls.

All in all, I'm very happy with the way this one turned out.  Now she  just needs a name.
