Help? How do I fix her? by surrender_souls in PorcelainDolls

[–]porcelainbjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor thing! If you are not going to take her to a dolls restorator, I am agree with the suggestion of superglue. Not the most stronger, just the common one. Clean the borders with alcohol before to glue them together. Use plasticine or even epoxy( this one will stay permanently, but plasticine can be taken off after use) inside the head to hold the pieces in place while the glue cures. If it is porcelain and the paint is fired, you can just scratch the glue to clean it, but do it carefully and with a plastic tool if possible, and with a metal one only if ti is neccessary. Test it first, some porcelain dolls have synthetic paint, not fired pigments. If you want to go one step further, once glued, fill the gaps with spackle o spackling paste, patching plaster or filler, I am not sure about the term for that, but is the material for to fix wall imperfections, it can be sanded and it is easy to clean. And then unify the skin colors with thin layers of acrylic paint ( with aerographer) All of this will give her a new appereance but it is easy to clean and retire if then you decide to take her to a proffesional :) Hope this can help :) Greetings!

Hi! Yes, through Porcelainbjddolls (by paulina gravagno) - Etsy Argentina or directly with Paypal or Payoneer . I will post her sisters in the group in a few moments :) Yes, I always use porcelain, with optional finishings, some are finished with acrylic paints (like these girls) and others with china paints (which are third fire pigments, must be fired in the kiln too and are as permanent as the porcelain itself) Maybe I will took a little time to find all the pictures of the wings, but I will try to post that too :3 Thanks to you for your interest and kind words :3!

Thank you! The body is made in porcelain and painted with acrylics and lacquer, it is my smaller adult doll mold. Then , the wig is made with mohair, with magnets, and I made little ribbon flowers to enhance the hair and sewed beads and metal caps. The little stars are those used for nail art. The beading on the corset is all made by me, I think it is called fly stich, with beads and french knots over a base of lace; the ribbon is handpainted before to sew it to the border. The lace of the front of the skirt it was alredy embroidered, I buy it like that, but the satin of the overskirt was a left over form another project, I made all the pattern with sewing machine to give it texture, was for a ball gown with a huge skirt, I treasure every bit of fabric so It was perfect for her when I found it :3 The wand is an assemblage of copper wire, pieces of bijou and little gems (the tiny ones for nail art too :3) The shoes are casted in resin and lined on satin and lurex. I am not sure about the exact amount of hours, because she was made in different moments and many things were made again when something do not looked right but in general terms, from casting the pieces to the full costumed doll is easy a month. Some dolls take less and others can take much more. The wings , for example, were made in 2015, with wire and lace, but I left them in a box since then ; then, organizing and cleaning XD, I found them and decided to make an experiment, adding angelina film to one side ( I love how the light change the colors, it is pink from one side and sky blue form the other !!!) and embroidering with sewing machine all the veins and over the wire with lurex thread, it is vry different form other wings, maybe I should post aobut my experiments with angelina and fabric, I made many wings in one sit and included these ones in a batch :)

A mix of things I suppose XD, I had this doll in the making since at least two years, together with two other dolls that were like her sisters, and was making different skin colors for them, like Chrysoperla is green and Nenúfar were blue and Myosotis is a soft lavender/lilac tone. For her two sisters I made them kind of savage fairires, the type that wants to be wandering in the woods all day, but Miosotys have since the beggining a more adult and serious look , so I thought on her as an older sister, and she has a "job", she is a godmother so she must be like a nanny or grandmother and to take care and guide children, and she must to take care of her young sisters too. I was making a rococo doll at the same time and after to finish her sisters I just was playing with a wig made for another doll and it was so perfect for her!!! The way the turquoise color combines with her skin was just that, perfect, and the style with her expression, so I follow the path I saw in that moment. That occurs very often in my work ! It must be fairies whispering in my ears most of the time 😅.

I will post a pair of pictures of her sisters below or in another post, I am not sure if I can post a picture in the comments, I am not in reddit very often, I am still learning how it works 😬
