so hard to get materials in SG :s27:

used La Doll Premiere and Cloth Clay, finished with Mr White Surfacer and Mr Super Clear.

can anyone recommend a cheap + good source for doll's eyes? diameter about 6-7 mm though :( or which hobby shops carry resin so i can try and make my own?

critiques and comments are welcome :)

Woah, seriously i thought it was pre-made from factory one. Is the joint moveable ?

moveable, but badly made cos i don't know how to make the ball joint bits at such a tiny scale -_-"

Wow, nice! Not sure where to find dolls eyes, but maybe can try Bras Basah? I remember there used to be a shop selling dolls at Centerpoint, not sure if its still there, maybe can try out that shop too.

lol HAIZ!! they moving out le! i have membership but now have to go all the way down to harbourfront branch nia :(

wah Sausage ah seems like you spent so much on materials, you could have easily purchased one liow, but i guess it's a matter of pride yea? to be able to make your own doll!

i recently have been busy with my other minimaking ventures, so never touch dollmaking liow, but i want to resume! the eyes...i molded some ballbearings from my various body-jewellery bits (LOL) but haven't had much success making nice eyes yet....i think i will give up on making the eyes and just try and earn some $ from my minis and purchase them.....

thanks for the tip anyway! i haven't even finished my cloth clay lor....so far i find that cloth clay is almost the same as gesso, and gesso is so cheap somemore :O

ganbatte! i really love watching your work in progress!
