One of these days, I swear, I'll learn to make backup copies

1:37 pm - 06/03/2012
A long time ago someone posted here photos and a link to a tutorial on making polymer dolls. They were two stunning Elfs. Rather dark looking. I've saved the link, but since then, my laptop dided and took all my saves with it. Now my mum got interested in making dolls herself and asked me if I new any good links and I just cant find it. I've tried checking tags and going back through the archive day by day, but I just can't find it.

If any of you know what I'm talking about or know any other good links, please help!

You could start with http://www.clothdollconnection.com/
They have a lot of links listed.
The elf patterns I have are from www.faewyckstudios.com
I plan to sew some of those when I get some spare time (hahahaha)

Oops, my bad. You said polymer dolls. Try googling polymer elf dolls to see what you get. I found http://www.patriciarosestudio.com/
Gorgeous work.

Is it this one? http://www.hanniesarris.nl/page.php?page=sculpting_fairy_head&lang=en

I don't know about that specific link, but I'm also working on a polymer doll . . . let me share what I've been researching, maybe it will come in handy (lots of the following sites have a link for more tutorials on them btw):

You might also refer her to Making Miniature Dolls With Polymer Clay by Sue Heaser; I found it in my local library and it's got some interesting pointers. They're the kind with pipe-cleaner joints.

I'd love to see what she comes up with! :)
