All molds have been cast, holes drilled, openings are cut and smoothed. The parts are very delicate at this stage almost chalk like so I'm waiting until they are soft fired before I clean them and remove the seams. Once everything is bone dry I can soft fire to a cone 018. Soon!

The openings are cut in after they come out of the mold during the 'leather hard' stage. Take a look at the torso photo and you will see it before i cut the leg joints. All opening's are cut at this time. I hope this answers your question. I'll add photos of this step the next time I pour. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Teri,
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful job that you have done so far! I cannot wait to see your doll :) I love how you post photos of the process - maybe one day I will give it a try making my own porcelain BJD :)
