Thought I'd document how I made this little dolly:

First, I started with this doll from a yard sale. The body and limbs are all plastic. The head is rubber.

The next thing I did was to separate all the limbs. This is not strictly necessary, especially if you know the pose you want the final doll to be in. Still, this is what I did.

To give the doll texture, I mixed PVA glue and water 50/50. Then I used a chip brush to paint the glue on the doll parts and applied toilet paper to them. I dipped the brush in the glue and painted it over the paper, adding wrinkles as I went.

Next was the head. I started with a layer just like the limbs.

To give an "expression", I added some layers using cotton balls and the glue mix.

Left all the separate pieces to dry thoroughly before beginning to paint.

It's not difficult, it just takes some time to get the hang of it. Next time I'll got over how I painted and finished it.
