MIROSLAVA’S SCULPTING PROCESS:
To the right you can see Lea in the process of her being made. We put this up for the curious! Sometimes it can be fun to see the process.
This is how Lea looked when Miroslava had just finished sculpting her main features. She was sculpted in paper clay which you see in one of the images.
On top of her clay sculptures Miroslava always sprays on layers of gray acrylic paint. This gray paint helps highlight any bumps/scratches that need to be sanded out and fixed. It also protects the dolls and seals them so they can later safely be made into molds.
Finally the grey, smooth and complete sculpt is used to make a mold. This mold will be used to make the first samples, also seen in one of the images.
