Composition Doll Restoration, dolls I’m going to restore

[@lindanoreika893]

I am so so happy that you are back to the compo dolls. I so admire your work. I strive for your look. I know we should all have our own look, but when I see your dolls, I want that same beautiful look on my dolls. Thanks again. 🤗🤗🤗

I’d love to see pictures of those old dolls when you are finished- a before and after!

[@ladonnabriggs8487]

Maravilloso trabajo. La felicito. Soy profesora de Educación Artistica. Tengo una muñeca de composición de los años 40, pero sus ojos se soltaron y quedaron dentro de la cabeza. Pienso que, podría separar la cabeza de las uniones y arreglar los ojos, ya que la cabeza es pequeña de una muñeca de 30cm. Puede darme algunos alcances? Gracias

I’m so glad you are showing this. I don’t do reborn but want to learn how to do the composition. Be careful with the straw in the body. There was a restorer named Doty. She got some kind of lung infection and passed away. They think it was from the straw in the body.

That’s so sad.

Interesting!

Thanks for watching.😊

A lot of these old type dolls and painted with a led based paint. You should mask up when chipping and sanding them. I would hate for you to get sick. Love your art.

[@ladonnabriggs8487]

Yes. Thank you.

[@thomasplouffe1363]

my first compo doll i fixed was the easiest paint removal ever. the paint came off in 2 huge chunks off the head, like a mask it just all came off

[@ladonnabriggs8487]

You were luck, most aren’t so easy but when the paint comes off quickly it really speeds things up.

[@lindanoreika893]

Please, I would really love if you would do a video on making the wonderful swirly hair molding. Please?

[@ladonnabriggs8487]

Hi, Linda. I will do one in a few days. I’m working on several.

What is used for rebuilding or molding and making a new composition doll... I have a Buddy Lee which needs a complete restoration and want to cast some new parts.

[@ladonnabriggs8487]

I use amazing mold putty to make the mold of hands then pour two part resin into the mold to create hands.

[@suzannebeinart4359]

Hi! I would like to know what brand of clay you are using to fix these heads with that doesn’t have to be cured in an oven? Or does it? I was thinking about trying Elmers’s wood putty until I watched this video! I would really value your advice! Thank you!

[@ladonnabriggs8487]

Apoxie sculpt 2 part clay. It can be purchased on Amazon. It dries overnight.

[@suzannebeinart4359]

@@ladonnabriggs8487 Thanks so much!!!

[@MariaReyes-jc4mz]

Question for you??? Is it safe to take off paint off these dolls?? Because of the lead in some paints?? Should a person use gloves or mask??

[@ladonnabriggs8487]

I wear a mask.
