Hi everyone, new here and just starting to make some PM dolls tonight. Making head, forearm and hands, calves with feet and attaching it to a cloth body. Does anyone have any advice as to what to use for the inside structure for the arms and legs/feet.
Should i start with some sort of wire and form PM around it, or ??
The doll is goin to be about 12" tall.
Thanks for your help.......

Doris Gotilly's book on making dolls this way suggests that you use foil for the interior armature, she squeezes it into the shape she wants and then covers it. Personally I prefer wire, covered in masking tape, a couple of layers of newpaper and then pulp.
