I made this papier-mâché baby doll several years ago. It is life-sized and can be dressed in real baby cloths, size three months.
Close up of the baby’s eyes.
The head of this doll is attached to a canvas body and has prefabricated limbs.
A view of her head from the side. I used acrylic paints for her head. Her lace bonnet belonged to my daughters.
This particular papier-mâché head is made with a layers of sanded pulps. Stockinette is stretched over the head and impregnated with Gesso at the end of the process before the head is painted.
