I don't know what I did to Celyn but she needed 1/2 inch heels in order to stand on her own. I knew that I'd never be able to sculpt them so I came up with another one of my strange ideas. I cut an old plastic thread spool to size, then ground it to the right angle, well, actually my husband did.
He's really good about dropping things and helping me out. Since I took this picture, I've covered them in black paper and glued them to her feet - tried to fill the cracks in with paper clay but i don't know how that will work. I'll let her dry overnight and then see what's what. I might end up having to use Aves Epoxie Sculpt to smooth out the join; then I'll add another layer of paper and paint the shoes again. We'll see. But I'm stoked that she stands by herself - there's no armature in here! Another great Sherry pattern!
Nifty idea, very clever and cutie doll too!!

I've been trapped for DAYS in North Pole, Alaska with no clothes on & I'm fr-fr-freezing! (But I DO have VERY cool heels!") Bwahahahahahaha ... sorry.
Posted by: Kai at December 8, 2008 2:40 PMWow..love both faces...maybe that doll is too picky. How clever of you to make those heels...
