Making Miniature Dolls with Polymer Clay: How to Create and Dress Period Dolls in 1/12 Scale

Imagine being able to create your own beautiful ceramic dolls--as realistic and elegant as expensive porcelain ones! You won't need any special equipment, because the new polymer clays are easy to sculpt, and even easier to harden, right in your kitchen oven. Once they're firm, you can carve, sand, paint, and glue them, and even add details and bake again. Using the dollhouse scale of 1:12, these charming projects (with templates) include men, women, girls, boys, and baby dolls with a variety of faces, ages, and hairstyles. Instructions for sewing authentic period clothing cover your choice of sumptuous, velvety Tudor costume; simple and tasteful Regency dress; elaborate Victorian wear; and graceful, stylish Edwardian fashions in silks and poplins.
