LiQuaChe' can be purchased over the Internet at: www.nationalartcraft.com There are also detailed instructions on the website for how to make dolls using LiQuaChe'.
I use the same plaster molds that I use for porcelain. The same molds can be used for both. Just be sure to clean thoroughly when changing between the two. LiQuaChe' is a polymer clay based compound that has been reinforced with finely ground paper fibers. LiQuaChe' is poured directly into the plaster mold. I have been using LiQuaChe' for several years now. I always pre-color the LiQuaChe' with Folk Art Acrylic paints before I pour the mold. I take a pint jar - 2 cup size - (the kind used for canning with the rubber ring so the LiQuaChe' won't dry out).
One thing to remember though, you need to color it several shades darker than you will want it to be because as it dries the color gets much lighter. POURING A MOLD: I thin the product to a whipping cream like consistency with distilled water (don't use tap water). A Curious Mind. Hildegard Günzel. Enchanted Doll » Blog Archive » The Birth of Ruby- Greenware Cleaning. Soft-fired doll parts have been laid out in front of me for quite some time now and my desk is all set up for cleaning.
Water bucket – check, sanding sponges – check, an assortment of various tools – also check. Still, I sit there, eyeing the parts through squinted eyes like they are my mortal enemies, challenging them to either get the hell out of my sight or clean themselves for once. I catch myself sighing with resignation for the fourth time as I anticipate the mind-numbing repetitiveness and inevitable length of the upcoming cleaning session, pick up a tiny hand and place it in the hot water. I procrastinate some more by watching a stream of air-bubbles emerge from it as sinks and think of how I always start with a hand for some reason. What a creature of habit. This is the one stage of the doll-making process I really don’t ever look forward to. Tomorrow I will, no doubt regret this self-indulgence and will have to play catch up, but tomorrow is tomorrow.

The magic of Lidia Snul, Russian BJD Artist (Part 2) In the second part of our interview with Lidia Snul, Lidia tells us about her plans to create an older BJD, maybe a boy BJD, and the “birth” of Ophelia and Croby.
BJDmagazine: Do you think of creating dolls with older features? Lidia: Yes, I have a project “Ice Queen” – an older woman, well preserved in a cool and dry place. Right now she is in the stage of a master-model, I’ve been planning to make molds of her for a long time, but I have many other orders to work on. This is my Mermaid. Here Alyona is playing with her on the shore of Finland Bay, it was very cold, we both chilled to the bone after that. BJDmagazine: Do you make the wigs and the eyes of your dolls? Lidia: Yes, I make the wigs. BJDmagazine: You have designed only females. Lidia: I have a mold of a young guy. My latest project. BJDmagazine: Please tell us more about the birth of Kroby and Ophelia. Lidia: Oh well, what can I say… First about Kroby.
