1990's Papier-Mâché Doll Head
"Paint-It-Yourself" Craft Doll Head
Made in Germany
A wonderful resource for doll artisans or crafters, this reproduction doll head was made in Germany in the 1990's. Hollow cast of a traditional type of a liquid papier-mâché, the head has a smooth, bisque-like finish. This sweet face can be used to make a girl or boy doll, and is an authentic craft supply for crafting an old-style candy container.
The doll head can be painted using acrylic paint, oil paint or even gouache. To make the blushed cheeks, we used a professional air brush, but one could also use powdered pigments and apply it the same manner as makeup blush.
Sold as one doll head.
