You can give more 3dw effect to some parts using a thread of yarn and a needle to tight it

Oh dear, yes! I've dabbled a bit in doll-making over the years — especially those sweet little cloth dolls with hand-sculpted faces. ?When it comes to sculpting a doll's face, it really depends on the material you're using. I personally enjoy working with air-dry clay or polymer clay — they're forgiving for beginners and hold detail beautifully. I usually start by forming a simple oval shape, then gently pinch out the nose, and use a small knitting needle (I have so many, might as well put them to use!) or a clay tool to define the eyes, mouth, and cheeks.I always recommend keeping a damp cloth nearby to smooth things as you go, and don't rush — just like a good bread dough, it needs patience. And a little tip I picked up: use a toothpick to press tiny smile lines around the mouth — gives the doll such a lifelike, warm expression.If you're doing cloth dolls and using needle-sculpting instead of clay, it’s all about the tension of your thread and where you anchor it. I learned that one the hard way — had a doll with one cheek puffier than the other for years. Still loved her though. ?Would love to hear what kind of dolls you're working on!
