Hairless and limbless isn't ugly but my magic hands can make you even prettier.....
Haven't made ceramics for long since indulged in wool crafts. I don't want to stop my long time cultivated ceramics. Thus come out the idea of wool and ceramic crossover. With my recently learned skills of nuno felt I first made the ceramic doll body then made the dresses. Put together the ropes for limbs, put on hair and hat. It become a cutie doll.
Let's walk hand in hand and go for a garden party.
Below shows how I made it. 
1. Make a ceramic body, glazed and highfired.2. Make a nuno felt dress with wool between resist and covered with chiffon.
3. Put on the dress.
4. Put on hair and do the touching.
Here it is.
For a bigger doll ceramic made is tougher. Alternatively smaller ones made of paper clay is also a good option. 
My mother always said how come I've made so many ceramic stuffs and I don't have much room to place. I said I enjoy it and love to give away on friend's special occasion. One of the above dolls will be a gift for my good colleague's sweetie who's name is J, same as my daughter's. J's birthday is on 27 June.

these are so sweet,, I'm so limited in space in my apartment.We lived in a house then when my husband retired ( early retirement) at age 51 we took an apartment,, not alot of space for extras.I love the dolls and I do the same thing with my paintings, give to friends and family for gifts,, I do sell some also.
