What a wonderful online class! Dixie Redmond's Izannah Walker was very well done and included so much information from Dixie and the other students.....It is amazing what you can do with paper clay....I completely redid one doll's head by filing and adding more clay after I had completed it. The pattern of the clothes were well done as well....

Izannah Walker #7

I have now made and redone 3 17" dolls from the Izannah Walker,Dixie Redmond's online class and 3 dollie companions. This is the #4 Of the Izannah Walker dolls. This is better still and looks more like the original. Will work on dressing her today and then get a group shot.

Last Izannah Walker

This maybe my last Izannah Walker doll. I got a sweeter face but then forgot to put her thumbs on!

Feb. 17, 2010

Today I am working on Izannah Walker dolls again, trying to get a sweeter face. I've used the second head and it was much easier to sculpt but the stockinette covering was still difficult and probably will show the little seams. I am adding a picture of the last little Diane clown I made too.

Izannah Walker Workshop

I have been working for 2 weeks on 3 Izannah Walker Dolls in Dixie Redmond's workshop online. I haven't worked with sculpting before and this was very challenging. I just forged ahead and feel I learned a bit about sculpting with paperclay & painting a dolls face. I think you have to make these dolls over and over to get the hang of it....Here is my second doll which I completed once didn't like and redid the head. The little doll was the companion doll with a sculptured head as well.
