~my try at making a paper mache' doll~

I love making dolls and recycling too!

above are 2 of the many dolls I've made..

  The small doll is paper mache'

 shes my first try at making a paper mache'doll..

 and not a very good one.

I used paper egg cartons cut into small pieces

chopped the pieces in blender, small amounts at a time

 added a bit of water and white glue to the paper

worked the paper/clay for a while

 put in plastic bag let set

 formed the head & torso insert a wire

 form arms legs..

 drilled holes to attach arms legs onto wires

 She's a bit odd looking..

but my other dolls do not seem to mind  her at all:-}

 vintage hanky was used for her dress..

This would be such a fun project for kids..

 She now needs a name.. have any ideas?
