About

Cloth and Clay Dolls started out as a small workshop held on a blog in the Fall of 2008. It was originally set up as a 30 day class, but after a few of those, I found that members wanted to continue sharing their doll-making with one another so, we moved to ning.

When we moved here, we stayed fairly private in that the only way to venture past the front page was to pay the registration fee and join the group.

Now that there has been so much interest (and confusion about just how to sign up and get in) I have opened the group up to all and have made the Tutorials available to purchase after you join the group.

I have other neat ideas for future tutorials and think this new format is the best way to organize it all.

There are over 400 awesome doll-makers here, all with a style of their own! The Original Cloth and Clay Doll Workshop is a perfect beginners class to get you started on this fun journey. Feel free to join us!

Thank you for stopping by.

Frida y los días de los muertos

Hi All! Communication sure has been flying left and right around here! It feels good to be around again and see what everyone has been up to. I appreciate all the encouraging comments I've gotten on my Omo dolls. I have one more in the making - not sure when I will finish it up, though!

In the meantime, I recently finished another Frida Kahlo doll, as well as another Mexican culture doll. (Pics have been posted on our group photos!) They both made it in time to pose for me for my Día de Bloglan… Continue

Expanding (and Contracting) the Cloth and Clay Boundries


Primitive dolls made of paperclay. Greetings,

For quite some time I have tried to keep the group focus to ONLY dolls that include cloth AND clay...

But, with the change around here I am broadening the group focus to art dolls that include more than just cloth and clay (or maybe just cloth or just cla

Catching up

Good heavens! It has been forever since I have posted anything here. Which is not to say that I haven't been making any dolls. In between other art projects I still experiment with dollmaking techniques. With this doll I used the paper clay and an Italian soda bottle. In this photo she's also dressed up in Deirdra's newsboy cap and mandolin - fun how it adds to her character!

Some happy notes...

I remembered my last blog post beeing a bit sad..
Now, I better write some more happy notes. :-)

I just came home from my first exhibition this year. I have really worked hard, with
my dolls and a little other creative things and this time I decided
also to put my prices up on my dolls with 40%.
It paid off .. I sold so many dolls .. and I'm just so happy.

This is what I want, I want it full time and therefore I thought that it must take
the time it takes, because my work is worth the price. .… Continue

New Group Challenge Theme~

HEY THERE MEMBERS!!
Good job on the Circus/Carnival theme!!

Notes:

A LITTLE TRICK FOR ARRANGING YOUR MY PAGE**If you put your cursor it the top left corner of any content box on your page, a little cross with arrows appears...you can use that to drag and drop the content boxes into the order you want them...Give it a try! ______________________________________________________________

PHOTO ANNOUNCEMENT: I am loving all the wonderful doll pics being posted...such talent! But...I have a request: Please keep the doll pictures you upload limited to Cloth and Clay dolls. This will keep our group focus and help newcomers. If you have a photostream of dolls hosted outside of this group (like flikr or photobucket) you can share that on your My Page. Thanks for your understanding~ Jane

Change is good. We should all develop our work as doll makers and artists, developing our own style can be quite difficult, but we must keep trying, when the penny drops, its like someone has plugged you in, its so exciting, the ideas flood in......
