Sometimes you just need somewhere to start.

These little paper-clay faces began as original faces I sculpted in my studio, then molded and reproduced one at a time.

They’re intentionally unfinished. Paint them as they are, add more paper clay, turn them into full heads, change the nose, soften a cheek, reshape the mouth, add wrinkles, texture, hair… whatever begins to suggest itself.

We don’t quite know who these little beings are yet. That’s part of the fun.

A face may look one way when it arrives and become something completely different once you begin working with it. Somewhere along the way, a little personality begins to emerge, and often it’s not quite the one you expected. But it will be totally you, and your doll will be one-of-a-kind.

Each Starter Faces set includes five different faces in assorted sizes, ready to use with dolls, figures, assemblage, mixed-media pieces, or whatever else you dream up.
