***** Wedding Dolls *****

I made it in time! After researching about polymer clay and polymer clay dolls online, I was able to put together these two dolls. Big thanks to those polymer clay artists! I baked the dolls for about 10 minutes after the shaping was done. Then I did the decorations using a pre-packaged wedding theme stickers. I followed the advices by those artists to use aluminum foil to form most of the core body parts to save clays so I still have lots of left over clays to make more dolls : ) Hope my cousin and her husband will like the dolls on their special day.

Polymer Clay Wedding Dolls

My little cuisine is getting married this September. Unfortunately I am not able to attend the wedding but I really want to do something nice for her wedding to show my love to her and her husband. She asked me if I can make a "Welcome Board" for their reception party and my answer was "Of course!". She said that her older brother didn't want to do it although he is pretty good at drawing (he is a graphic designer and he designed and made a scull motif motorcycle for his graduation exhibition!)

I don't have two kids like him so decided to make dolls of bride and groom as well as the welcome board. Here is a picture of the progress. You may notice how tanned the groom looks. It is requested by the groom. He said "Please make it Ganguro (Ganguro means tanned face in Japanese.)" He also wants me to make the sideburns 2mm longer : ) What a fun guy he is. I don't have enough experience with the polymer clay so it is taking sometime for me to handle it right but so far so good it seems!? I will post the progress as I move forward.
