Extreme Dollmaking with Shelly Lampshire

?
Can you imagine a doll that is fully posable with articulated joints, break-resistant, freestanding and balanced, with inset eyes and needle felted hair? You can make that and more with this online class taught by me, professional artist and face painter Shelly Lampshire.

I chose to call this class EXTREME DOLLMAKING, because this form of doll making is just that- Extremely Unbreakable, Extremely Posable, Extremely Standable, Extremely Sandable, Extremely Paintable, Extremely Lovable. All the while, being Extremely Forgiving. Sculpey?s Superflex, formerly bake and Bend is helping me fulfill a dream. I have experimented with this medium considerably, and the method that gave the best fruit is shared in this class. I want you to think ?out of the box? for this class. I show how to make a 6? child, but a reposition here and a color change there can morph into anything! Those of you with proportional knowledge or a vision are welcome to also challenge size.

We will cover:
  • LESSON 1 - INTRO & SCULPTING THE FACE
  • LESSON 2 - EARS, NECK, TORSO
  • LESSON 3 - ARMS, HANDS, LEGS, FEET
  • LESSON 4 - PAINTING, FINISHING, WIGGING
  • Realize your dollmaking dreams!
