I love to make the heads biggers on dolls. I have found the easiest way to alter an exisiting doll/animal is with a 2 part apoxy clay that dries hard, or with a paper clay. I often will make an aluminum foil shaped head or newspaper, tape it to my existing doll, and then cover it with the 2 part epoxy clay or the paper clay. Paper clay is best when put on in layers, so it can dry thoroughly and you can fill in any cracks as they develop. Which means it takes more time, then just applying a glob of apoxy that will dry overnight. You could also use a paper mache to fill out your doll. Whatever you choose to do, Have fun.

Must be a member in good standing of group. These art dolls must be at least 5 inches, and made with quality and care.
