Emily with non fire, air dry paints!

Recently I had a notion to do Emily in the 10/11 inch size with the new sitting body.  I also wanted to try painting her with my air dry paints.  I am finally getting confident enough with painting on porcelain with my  Jo Sonja's acrylic artists colors that I am seriously getting prepared to teach this on-line.  I am very excited with the possibilities this new medium offers.  This could be a revolution in porcelain doll making.  


I was very satisfied with the way my little emily turned out.  I am thinking of offering a workshop on-line for doll makers who want to make a repro of her.  There are many details to be worked out first.  If any of you are interested in joining this class individually or in a group please Email me and I will keep you on a contact list.  

Special Notice:  You can make Molly with the pose-able body but you will need to substitute the 18 inch Lovey shoulder plate because the neck is bigger than the portrait series.  Other doll that will work work with the Lovey Shoulder Plate are Kayla i and II, Sonny Boy and Sis, Jennifer, Ashley, and Lovey, of course.
