This is a little all-bisque doll that fell off it's shelf.
She has some obvious injuries.
When she is undressed and unstrung the extent of her injuries are better appreciated.
Poor thing!
But, you start with the basic gluing of the bits.
With a good epoxy glue and patience,the doll gets back together.
Which reveals missing pieces here and there......
The missing pieces are filled with an epoxy compound and once cured, it is sanded smooth.
Matching the paint to the skintone of the doll is always a bit of a process.....but eventually success!
She gets restrung.......
.......and dressed.
Your favorite childhood doll or toy has just been found stuffed away in a box in the basement? It is cracked and dirty and your family urges you to throw it out. But it is full of memories and despite its many flaws, you just cannot discard it. Doll doctors and restoration artists can help. Many of the saddest dolls and toys can be restored. I restore dolls from my home base in Ontario. Wintertime however, finds me packing up a few projects and fleeing to Florida to work in the sunshine!
