This blog is mainly dedicated to my handmade wooden dolls. =)
~ Each articulated wooden doll doll is entirely handcrafted by me. I start from a block of basswood- either a large rectangular block, or smaller pieces- and go from there. I hand-saw the wooden pieces out into the general desired shape, then further carve out the pieces, drill holes for assembly, put the doll together and then paint the dolls with Liquitex acrylic paint. They are then sealed with Liquitex matte varnish. The result is a doll made with lots of love ;). The paint can withstand years of handling, it will not rub off unless sanded or faced with a similar amount of friction/rubbing.
Materials: Basswood, metal wire, nails and/or screws
[In some cases: cloth, synthetic hair]
