This doll kit comes with a head , unpainted hands and feet. You can paint the kit with
acrylic paints or oils. First put a light wash of flesh colored acrylic paint to cover the
resin, you many need to do this a couple of times. Then paint with acrylic paints or
oils to finish. To wire the doll, twist #26 gauge wire to join all sections.  You can either
wrap old nylons around the wires or form clay around the wires as I do. Super
Sculpey works fine for this or any polyform clay. The doll is then dressed, then
posed, then baked in a 250 degree oven for ½ an hour if clay is used. See photos
below to see how the doll should be assembled.  The first picture is to show you how
the wires should look…the second is a picture of the doll with clay that has been
formed over the wires. The female doll should stand 5 ½ inches tall and the male doll
should stand about 6 inches tall.  The arms should hang down about mid thigh.

Doll Kit
Notice that I have added some extra clay for larger breasts. You can do this for the tummy
area too if you wish.

If you use clay on your doll…be sure to glue a cover of lightweight white cloth before
dressing her. If she is not baked right away the oils from the clay will leak onto the cloth.
This is not an essential step but it will protect valuable fabric from the oil.
All of my doll parts are fully guaranteed against breakage…contact me for parts if needed
free of charge. Email me if I can be of any assistance in assembly!  mbackst@comcast.net
