| Make a metal support ( preferably out of aluminium wire).Stick it into clay or modelling clay. For the head, use a ball of cotillion ( paper or styrofoam). Make a dress : on whhite cardboard draw and cut out a half circle and make a cone of it ; glue it and place it around the wire. |
Wrap the aluminium wire with plastered strips, and cover the cone with them. The plastered strips dry very quickly and become resistant. Buy a rol (more economic) rather than small pieces. Just soak it in water and you can start covering surfaces and creating forms. It is a wonderful material!

Paint the dolls with acrylic paint and complete your work by painting a ball of cotillion (paper or styrofoam) for the head and making a dress of fabric, a hat with a shell, hairs with a net (such as used to pack fruits ). Use a multi surface felt-tip pen to draw a face, make a guitar out of cardboard, a flute with a small piece of wood decorated with the felt pen, tom-tom with a pot covered with tissue paper… |
