Yes guys, it will be nice to see you in person, come some day in the show like this. I hope to see someone from this forum, it will be lots of fan. Here is some updates from my busy headquarters, tray full of porcelsin parts which need to be clean in water, my unfavorite part in doll process. It will take me 3 days, oh..... Doll head ( face mold name Ofelia) with open mouth and teeth. Look :)sweet already. Pretty doll hand in tired doll master hand. Almost two hours in water...... And this is how my hands looks like after wet porcelain process cleaning, need lots of greasy cream. And rest until tomorrow. I took this picture with my nose, funny.

Thank you Ivdolls, it just a part of porcelain doll making. We ( artists), just need to deal with this, that's all. Head is huge before last hight firining, it will shrink, here is an example. From left to right - master part, in the middle is unfired porcelain head, and porcelain head.

Will you assemble them on the elastic or spring system?

Larissa, I love how you show us each step of the process!
I like the lip color on the head, it seems to me a great color for natural lips.

Ivdolls - I will use springs in the arms, and strong elastic cord for legs, I don't know how big and strong the springs need to be for such big dolls, some parts are little heavy and I want to make sure the doll strung together nice and strong at the same time. I will search for strong big springs as well in the near future. I can easy strung the doll with them too, I disign all the doll parts for spring system from the beginning. Allurose - thank you, I love this lip color, my girls will have natural painting on their faces. I will show you more work in progress pictures. Sometimes I just get so busy and involved in doll process and not remember take pictures at all.

I'm really excited to see how they'll look all finished up, they are looking good so far!! I think on a doll that size elastic probably would be easier than springs...

Thank you Ivdolls and Snegurochka!!!! I think elastic is a good idea and I am also love freckled dolls. I want to paint her eyes today and want to ask you guys for help. What you think will be good for her - light blue eyes or green? I love both colors a lot.

Big doll wigs might be easier- you have lots of options for buying. And if you want to make one- much easier to do in scale. The fingers are a true marvel, so detailed.
