Make A Poseable Wire Armature Art Doll Gnome - from start to finish

Doll Making. Making a poseable gnome art doll from polymer clay and mixed media. This video show's most of my process from start to finish (some time lapse) for my most recent gnome. See links to materials that I use further below. For more detailed breakdowns of the armature, sculpting the face, hands & feet check out my other videos in the 'Making The Gnome' series. Also my Eye Tutorial may be useful too. When baking thicker pieces of polymer clay like on the face I bake for roughly an hour to make sure it's cured all the way through. Use an oven thermometer to check the temperature stays steady. #fairytribe #fantasy #sculpture #artist #elf I have the gnome template available in my Etsy shop as a digital download which also lists all the of the materials I use for him: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/901282234/gnome-template-digital-download?ref=shop_home_recs_3&crt=1 For art doll making I'm now on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FairyTribe To see more of my work check out the links below :) FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/Fairytribe INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fairytribe_ooak ETSY: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FairyTribe See below for links for materials & tools that I use regularly: PAINTS Genesis heat set paints are unfortunately being discontinued, you may still be able to find them on ebay.
