These dolls are made from flour. They are about 5 cm tall. I did not use polymer clay nor any other types of clay sold in the market. The kneading of the flour to the forming of the dolls are all handmade.

The good thing about using flour is the dolls do not break when you accidentedly drop them and they remain as beautiful for a long time if properly kept. However, you must be careful. You must paint it properly with either transparent nail varnish or transparent liquor. If you don't, you will find your dolls being eaten by worms. I found out the hard way. I found worms eating the doll's hair. Gosh.... I nearly burst into tears. All my hard work.....

It takes quite a bit of time molding the dolls. One doll will take roughly an hour to be made: head, hair, dress and the likes and the whole process to get it ready and properly for display or to be given away takes two weeks. Yeap! one small doll takes an awful amount of time to be made.

And I have little adjustments to make. Sometimes the flour dough dries up quickly and sometimes if not quickly used can turn moldy. The finished kneaded dough   can either be too soft or too hard or too dry or too wet. So after I have kneaded the flour, I need to adjust to the consistency of the flour as I made the dolls. I don't have the exact recipe for it. It is different every time. But I can vouch that indeed it is therapeutic on days when you can't go out and you feel gloomy. These dolls do indeed liven your spirit up.
