Thank you very much for sharing this amazing process - I massively prefer porcelain dolls to vinyl dolls which I have collected for several years. I just feel that porcelain dolls are better and seeing them come to life like this from porcelain slit to a gorgeously life like doll is wonderful 😍 I would love to make some of my own one day because I like being creative and it just seems like such a fantastic art form so I will absolutely try this one day if I can 🥰 Beautiful dolls and such an interesting process ☺
@@rainbowgirlism I would love to make porcelain dolls, I just need a Kiln lol The process seems to be very time consuming but I think it is all worth it, look at Dianna Effner's dolls for instance, her dolls are really pretty and they are well known in the porcelain doll world too 😄 She was very talented, as are so many other porcelain artists. I think it will be an expensive hobby but certainly quite a rewarding hobby to have. I hope you can try again soon! Good luck
@@colwilliams140 is it possible u can make your own slip out of powder? What type ? Can u make video Bout that? Ive been coming back to your channel in hopes of new upload…
@@vhebotzYou can make your own slip certainly, there should be recipes online even on RU-vid but if you'd feel more comfortable using pre-made slip, there are brands such as The New York Doll Company, the Bell Company and Seeley's but I think Seeley's has now either changed hands or closed down, not too sure. If you're in the US there are doll making companies such as Dolls Etc who sell slip on its own but you can also make it yourself which may work out to be cheaper, particularly if you live in a country where it isn't as easy to buy these materials. It's just liquid clay at the end of the day, there are different types but with air dry clay for example, if you want to attach one piece to another, you would 'score' the parts where you want to attach them to each other and you then use liquid clay which is slip to attach the two together. The liquid slip acts as a bonding concrete in a way, when it hardens, it bonds the pieces together and the point of scoring the clay is for the bond to be strengthened as the liquid clay sinks into those scored grooves. I think you need to use kiln safe clay for this purpose so your average crayola air dry clay would not be suitable, the kiln safe clay has something in it that can withstand the high temperatures of the kiln and I think it can be worked in the same way as other clays, it is just better suited for use in a kiln
