OOAK DOLLS

What's inside?

Dreams...and clay:-) Clay is sculpted around strong wire armature. This wire is like a skeletone, it's for support the hole structore. After modeling,sculpting, and smoothing, the figurine is baked in high temperature (ca 230-270F/ 110-130stC). After cooling, doll is painted, dressed and decorated. At the end are added lashes. They are glued one by one. To create doll Karina uses plenty of materials. They are made from polymer clay (Prosculpt, Cernit, Super Sculpey). Softdolls have some parts stuffed (belly, back, bottom, arms, thigs). Hear are from tibetan lamb mohair or viscose, eyes are from glass, there are some self-made from polymer. Figurines are 3,5 - 17inches (9-45cm) tall. This sweet child with cookies has ca 4,7inch (12 cm). She fits to your hand:-) Each figurine is made without using molds or forms. Each is original, One-Of-A-Kind in the world.
