Re: Do-it-yourself doll made of textiles, padding polyester and plastic tubes
I sew the body of my dolls from fabric according to certain patterns. torso and arms. legs (thighs with shins). feet - all these are separate parts. Then I sew them all together into a single design. I stuff the doll's body with holafiber. it becomes soft, elastic and looks appetizing. Next, the head of the pupa is produced. which I do as follows: I sew a cloth bag and stuff it very tightly with light synthetic material. after which I apply an oval sheet of foam rubber to the front of the head. I cover it with knitted fabric on top and sew it to the head blank. after which I begin to use special felting needles to roll the padding polyester onto the foam base towards the “face”. I shape the forehead, eye sockets, nose, mouth, cheekbones, chin. this is the most creative part of the job. since I sculpt a face from a photograph of a real woman, this is essentially a facial sculpting activity. After working out the relief of the face, I insert plastic doll eyes from Aliexpress into the eye sockets and carefully tighten and cover the entire face and head with knitwear. This is very painstaking and leisurely work. after which I tint and decorate the doll’s face with shadows from women’s cosmetics. after which I sew the head to the body. I put a wig on her and voila: my new girlfriend is ready! This was a shortened job description. I would like to share my work experience here in more detail. with photographs, patterns of parts and diagrams. I am not looking for any commercial benefit for myself here. I'm interested in communicating with like-minded people. for example, discussing ways to more constructively address certain technical issues. and simply evaluating and approving (or not approving) the results of your work. Still, do my dolls look like those women whose appearance I tried to convey to them? something like that.
