DOLLS



To create your Po_otoreto we first have to work on  profiling you, so as to determine together all material characteristics of your doll. That is to say:

    • Scale:
  • 1/6 (25cm—30 cm doll)
  • 1/3 (45cm—60 cm doll)
  • 1/2 (70cm—90cm doll)

  • Body structure in Fabric - head, forearms and calves made of polymer clay / 8 joints
  • Body structure in Wood - head, forearms and calves made of polymer clay / 8 joints
  • Body structure in LaDoll clay / optional: choose between 6 to 14 joints [neck, shoulders, elbows, torso, hips, knees and ankles].

    • Body joints:
  • Spheres and elastic strings (BJD)
  • Accordion pleats or seams
  • Dado / Tenon

    • Eyes:
  • Glass (Made in Germany)
  • Resin eyes (hand-made)
  • Integrated (same material as whole head. Painted)

    • Hair:
  • Natural hair wig
