Going To Try Making A Sculpy Face
The main problem is how to attach it to the soft sculptured body. I want to do the body out of fake fur, and while I know that traditional dollmaking uses indented areas on the legs where you wrap the fabric around and stitch tight, the face attachment needs to be done differently. I did one attempt a while back where I pushed holes on either side of the head to be able to sew it to the body but that didn't look right, there was no way to disguise the holes there.
However after searching online, Deviantart had suggestions that seem to be best. I'm going to give that a try. I can get the E-6000 at craft stores around here.
-----------------------------------------------
1: Shave down the fur away from the surface I want to attach the sculpey piece to
2: Before baking the sculpey, I'll score the backside of it with a cross-hatch pattern, to rough it up. The part I'll be gluing.
3: After painting the baked sculpey, I like to use E-6000 as my glue of choice. It's flexible and really strong.
