Doll Making I'm planning on making a polymer clay doll and making the head by using the pinch pot method?
and I'm not sure if I have to poke a hole in the bottom of the head like I usually would when using the kiln at school. the heads width going to be fairly thin maybe around 1/4 of an inch and I already have to poke small holes in the eyes [eyes are going to be buttons] but I'm still unsure of how to fire this exactly.
I wouldn't use the pinch pot method with polymer clay. Without some kind of armature it will probably distort. You are better off adding the clay to a foil armature. Just roll up aluminum foil to the size of the head and add the polymer clay to it. Sculpt the features etc and bake in an ordinary oven at 275F for 30 minutes. Buttons for eyes may melt in oven. Why not just sculpt them with the polymer clay or add them later.

reborn dolls are dolls that have been taken apart, cleaned, and put back together again from the method exlpained above.
Thanks for putting this up! It's encouraging to know that you can make such beautiful clothes even if you aren't particularly good at sewing XD I'm making a turtleneck out of a pair of winter gloves for my Bao (ResinSoul) doll. Hehe~ Great job on the first dress!
First of all, its perfectly normal to notice other guys. You are human, men and women off all types walk among us. It is human to notice them and in some cases, be attracted to them. But this doesn't mean that you are going to go for them. You obviously love your boyfriend, that much seems to be a given. You could very well be depressed. It is very common among the age group. To be quite honest, i struggled through depression my whole freshman year of high school. I always felt lonely and wanted to actually kill myself at one point. I felt no purpose. But i realized that suicide was a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Even if you just want to sit at home and be on facebook, seriously, get out of the house. take a walk. listen to music. enjoy life! its great to love and want to be with your boyfriend, but make sure to set some times to keep up with your other friends too. Dont let your other relationships fade to sustain another. Keep seeing your boyfriend, but also make it a point to get out with some other people, and if you can, in your state, i would say try to be with people as much as you can. Staying home alone all the time will not help you feel better. Your family is always going to be your family. I'm sure they will love you no matter what, but i'm sure the way you are acting is very concerning to them. If you dont tell them, then at least make it a point to try to spend more time with them and repair any relationships that may have been hurt. If you think that your depression is getting worse, a phsychiatrist isn't a bad option. They can provide you with medication that can make a world of difference. It can be just the boost you need sometimes to hit the log off button on facebook and to hop on your bike or into your car and go to a friends house to chill for a while.
below i will list some websites that i like, some are to find good songs, and others just to find funny sites that keep me in good spirits
I hope i was able to help you and goodluck and God bless!!
Sincerely, Paul
