From the album: Travel Trailer - Mardi Gras Float
Here you see riders in various stages of construction. The chenille arms were stitched to the body.© 2013 Katherine Bennett

From the album: Travel Trailer - Mardi Gras Float
Since no part of the body other than the hands would be seen, a simple cloth body sufficed. That's not an arm sticking out; it's part of the head, to be stitched in place when the stuffing is completed.© 2013 Katherine Bennett

From the album: Travel Trailer - Mardi Gras Float
The Mardi Gras Float called for a half dozen riders in traditional costume, which includes wearing robes and identical masks. Only the rider's hands would be seen. I fashioned them from Sculpey polyclay over chenille wires so they could be posed later.© 2013 Katherine Bennett

What kind of doll is afford able? I mean afford able as in I could buy clothes that are less then $10! I have a heidi ott lady but, she kind of scares me. Her wig falls off since i bought her naked and bald. So she has knitted clothes from etsy and a wig from eBay. That right there was $90 put together! Ouch. I've been scouring the web for a nice posable doll hopefully that I can make into a witch for my bakery. I also want to be able to change her clothes more often since, I hate wearing the same clothes all the time! Please help! I also was gifted the Melissa and Doug family dolls that come in the box together. Hasn't been opened since yet again they scare me. Ok the baby does the others are ok. I am scared of dolls yet, im a miniaturist at heart? Yes yes I am....

From the album: Room Box for My Sister
Both my sister and I have red hair, and we are about 12 years apart, so I bought these dolls to put in the roombox. The younger girl came with red hair, but the older one (bought 2 of each) was a blond. So I repainted the hair.© CheckMouse

I'd love to make my own dolls, but I'm somewhat hopeless at sculpting freeform. I have noticed that most kits and molds are quite pricey. I was wondering, does anyone have inexpensive molds to suggest or easy freehand methods for beginners? I saw this mold, which is actually intended for food purposes and wondered if it might work for doll making: http://www.firstimpressionsmolds.com/b223baby4134x1x34.aspx

I live in Washington state and I love making and shopping for miniatures. I have a 1" scale farmhouse that was the project from hell, but is turning out quite nicely. At the moment, the house is only occupied by four cats (Long-haired brown Tabby, tuxedo, orange tabby and short-haired brown tabby) and one Pug dog (black). I am now to the point of anxiously considering making the people who live there. Miniatures are not for the faint of heart. My favorite is 1/4" scale. I have made a Tudor house and a little cottage in that scale. Although I've always loved tiny things, I got interested in having a dollhouse when I saw the miniatures in the Smithsonian catalogs. Luckily for me, there was a miniature store (Country Store Miniatures) right here in my town, and they offered classes as well as everything you could ever need to get going on the hobby! Very nice to meet you!
