Each doll is hand sculpted from a blended mix of different professional Polymer clays to achieve different basic skin tones. Once the individual balls of clay have then been conditioned they are hand sculpted using no molds and mostly hand made tools and Nicky's ultimate favourite tool, the number 0 soft tipped clay shaper.
Nicky hand makes her eyes which are set into the unbaked clay.
The doll body parts are sculpted separately, smoothed meticulously and the finest details added.
The clay is fired and then taken straight out the clay oven into cold water to improve the strength. Once cooled and dried  they are then assembled using wires for a good strong armature and for ease of posing.
Most of the dolls are made poseable, but occasionally, in order to go with a particular character or pose, a  doll is fully sculpted without joints onto a full wire armature, this would be stated in the description.
Once assembled the wire is wrapped with fibre fill which is then heat treated to shrink it to the wire and give it a bit more strength.
The dolls are then painted using heat set genesis paints, fired once more in the clay oven to set the paints then given a fine spray coat of acrylic matt varnish to seal the clay from the ravages of time.
Once this is then dry the dolls are then costumed in the finest silks and natural fibred fabrics such as fine lawn cottons,  and fine wools.
Very often Nicky makes multiple accessories to go with them, be that critters, bases, miniatures and furniture as that really helps to set the scene and really bring the dolls to life!
It takes an absolute minimum of 24 hours Work to Create a Single Doll!
The price of the doll in no way reflects the many hours of careful crafting that goes into them.
