Painting with Watercolors on Paperclay

 

PaperClay doll by Marla L. Niederer


I’ve been experimenting with PaperClay with my doll making lately and created a jointed PaperClay doll. Instead of using hair and dressing the doll in clothing I sculpted the hair with clay imbedded fabric and used clay imbedded lace for the skirt.  I jointed the doll as I would put together jewelry with wire.  And I painted the doll with watercolors. I finished the doll with acrylic varnishes.

The entire process was a series of experiments.  Since I have often been asked if my watercolor painting process for cloth dolls would work on clay dolls I videotaped the process so I could share it with you.
