Comment on Make fitting joints for a doll - tutorial by scargeear
Is it possible to make a porcelain doll jointed? One that has been already made? I have a doll from a long time ago that I recently found, and it would be so amazing for it to be jointed. ^-^ But I know porcelain is easily breakable, so I don't know.
Also, if I were to make my own doll, would it be possible to make one out of Crayola Air dry clay? XD I don't have the money for a kiln, and I've just recently gotten into the idea of making my own dolls (my friend got me watching Rozen Maiden... =-
So yeah.
Thanks!

I'm sorry if I understood you incorrectly, but:
1. It's possible to make porcelain ball-jointed dolls from the scratch.
2. It's nearly impossible to insert joints into already made porcelain doll.
If you have some antique doll my advice would be just to enjoy her the way she is. I'm afraid modifying her body could ruin her(((
I never worked with Crayola clay so I don't know how strong it is. Usually air dry clays are not strong enough to bear a regular usage of the dolls for play: sculptor usually make only one of a kind dolls for display or prototypes out of that kinds of materials. Joints should be reinforced with epoxy putties at least to play with a doll. I prefer making playable dolls out of Apoxie Sculpt or Magic Sculpt, those materials are much stronger than any air-drying clay.
If you have some other questions you are welcome to ask.
