Sir Henry - Blog Posts

Meet Sir Henry, my latest doll project.

Sir Henry's head used to be a pen decoration, his body is a 1/6th scale male fashion doll and I made his outfit.

I don't know where I got his boots, they're plastic and fit him perfectly. These cheap boots often come with a split at the back and I filled this split with Apoxy Clay, first time working with this sculpting material.

I love it! I think Apoxy Clay works very well, just like Fimo, but without the terrified step of baking, because it's air drying.

I also sculpted some faux screws, which I painted and later attached on his backpack.

Apoxy Clay consist of two components and I mixed a little to much; not to waste I used the remainder to sculpt some doll jewelry.

After glueing on the faux screws, his steampunk contraption is finished.

I made this backpack from all sorts of (left over) materials: cardboard, fabric, metal scrapbook and jewelry materials, all sorts of plastic caps and other small components. To give it the right look, I painted many of these parts with acrylic paint in copper and blue/green for the oxide.

For the decorations and faux buttons on his coat I used metal book corners and jewelry materials.

To give his boots and coat this old look, I used black and brown soft pastels.

I love my Sir Henry ♥️
