- I'm a artist who loves to make art dolls,I am a married mother of 4 great people and I have always been creative, I don't remember a day that I have not created something, whether it was drawing/sketching or sewing for my family. My creations are handmade from my own designs without the use of molds and I like to use found objects as well as vintage fabrics. My passion, at the moment, is air dry clay and fabric, the possibilities are endless! I would say I'm a bit eclectic and whimsical, since Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, most of my art tends to lean that way, but Christmas is a close second!!! I don't know why I waited so long to do this, but I do know that I don't want to waste any more time. Join me in my ''self discovery'' as I show you how I ''see'' things in my little world. Blessings,Flora

I've never heard of this method before but I may have to give it a try. You're work is amazing.
I am currently making my first fabric doll.
Hello and Welcome Alan, Thank you so much for the lovely comment . This medium is a very old style of doll or ornament making .I had wanted to make them for so long and I finally gave it a try about 2 yrs ago, give or take and fell in love with it , please let me know how it goes for you and also on your fabric doll, maybe post a link so that we could see it ?
Blessings,Flora
Great!!!

Hugs,
Meri
Glad to be of help Meri, I'm sure your art will be awesome too !!
Blessings,Flora
Thank you so much for showing how you do this . I look at my Skelly king everyday (I didn't have the heart to put him away till Halloween), and just could not figure out how you made him. I just love him. Maybe when I finish the gazillion projects I have going I will attempt spun cotton. I love seeing your creations from inception to finish.
Carolyn
Carolyn You're welcomed and Thank You so much for taking good care of the SkellyKing!!!I made another one with wings and he flew away very fast ,but please let me know how it goes if you get time to work with spun cotton!!!
Blessings,Flora
Absolutely love your work! Is there something particular about your adhesive that gives you the fine finish or will any thin glue type medium work?
I am not a sculptor. My cloth dolls have very simple faces. I really want to try these. Lovely!
rhojo
Hello and welcome Rhojo Baldwin!!!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment about my work!!! I use Sobo
white glue but no, it's just taking the time to smooth it out as you go,
what I tell anyone who asks is that in order to get good results ,you just have to try the medium and
get a feel for it.Let me know how it goes.
Blessings,Flora
Lovely work! Just attempting into make spun cotton figurines myself ( i usually work with polymer clay) Are the figurines you make posable once dried ? Just asking because the ones I have attempted are bendable and I want to make sure mine aren't too 'soft' :) Thanks!
Hello Nicole and WELCOME!!! Since I am self taught, I only know what my spun cotton ornaments feel like , mine are firm, some are hard and they would be damaged if bent or repositioned , if yours are softer and can be moved that's wonderful!!!
everyone develops their own way of making them I don't think there is a wrong way if you are happy with how they look then all the better!!!Thank you for the visit and taking the time to comment,I love hearing from other artist .

Growing up my mother was a hairdresser and we always had big boxes of coiled cotton that they use when doing permanent waves. She used to sit me down with that cotton and glue and I would make toys for myself. I myself am a hairdresser and always have a supply of cotton sitting around, I also have between making cloth and paper mache dolls for years, but until I stumbled onto your site I never thought to use the cotton in this manner as asculptural element on the dolls. It instantly sparked a million new ideas, thank you.
Rob,Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and you are so welcomed. At the time I made this tutorial,I had just learned how to do this beautiful art myself. All my short tuts are basically done because I cant always remember the steps, so it really is for my own benefit more than anything HA! I hope to hear from you again soon. Blessings, Flora
