My dad was a toy designer for Mattel. When I was young I asked how dolls were made. This turned into a long, boring dissertation about poly propylene and injection molding😩. I really thought they were made like this video shows. Bless this artist that handmade the dolls.
You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Ethan Matteo instablaster =)
@Jalen Warren i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Jalen Warren it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
@Ethan Matteo You are welcome :D
Even though the non-doll information is strange to modern ears, it is absolutely typical of the time period. I was looking through my father’s 1956 senior year high school yearbook, and nearly every one of his female classmates’ future ambition was to get an “M.R.S. degree.” 😃 Regarding the dolls, I really liked them! She had some serious talent as a caricature doll artist and seamstress.
darlenevm what’s M.R.S degree?
These are wonderful! I wonder where these handmade dolls are now
pure star kids I don’t know this maker per se, but I believe museums like MOMA have archives of dolls. The thing with this types of plastic yuck is that laid away in a hot attic for a while and the next generation opens the trunk to find toxic fumes and melted weirdness! The glues used were made with arsenic of all things, and you could top a small fire bomb with the terrible oils used in the hair. As a matter of fact, that doll encompasses what on a larger scale started an off gassing fire in the ship called the Maine! It should never have been laden with oiled fibers, industrial glues, and armaments. For so long people said it was sabotage, when it was really a hull full of this toxic stuff in hot weather.
@@Voirreydirector That is interesting as being home made I assumed these to be the do it yourself recipe as they said she would give it's recipe and not real plastic, consisting of things like elmers glue and flour which they stretch to call cold porcelain today, or even salt dough. There are all types of home made clay recipes. Some realistic stuff like porcelain requires a kiln which would not work in a kitchen oven. I would never have expected a middle class wife to have toxic chemicals typical in industrial manufacturing in her own home and cooked in her own kitchen, and they ate out of the oven. I have doll making books from that era give recipe for paper mâché over muslin fabric for sculpting facial features, and the video said it took 20 minutes to bake as her cooking food time was kept secret. In Ladies Home Journal, December 1964 they were giving out bakers clay instructions in the magazine, 4 cups unsifted flour, 1 cup salt, 1 1/2 c water. A Salt dough one is 1 cup morton salt, 2 cups flour, and 1 cup water and baked in the oven. If she was a lifelong hobbyist I suspect she did have trade secrets. Maybe it was early days mail order toxic real plastics she used and just said it home made like the ladies who state their food brought to the pot luck is home made when in fact bought from the store ready made. The oil based plastic sealant, like a varnish, to preserve would have been where toxicity came in, or mail order wigs. Polymer clays like used in doll making today was first created in the 60's and Scupley came out in the early 80's. The early plastic dolls required molds and were not sculpted. So, I think this artist used a home made clay recipe and it's not real plastic.
So basically she was making an Etsy shop before Etsy was a thing.
Lol the description is very descriptive
Now I want biscuits🤤
I want one of those dollies!
I love these it is so cool to see this
Que tiempos tan maravillosos !😔
Its fabulous
This was really nice.
I love this vídeo 😍🥰❤
Is it me or do the faces look like their creator ?
That was my first thought too. That first doll really resembled her.
My wife says that’s always true
The doll she made in the demonstration looks like Baby Jane...
Omg I love it!!! So funny 😂
plastic dolls and food at the same over super toxic yeeeehhhhhh
George Manus yup. Actually most of the stuff she was using was toxic one way or another! Never melt anything these days! And don’t buy old chipped baking pans. I do a lot of doll rescue, but please, I have to tell people plastic and heat should never mix. I have seen folks say you can melt hair on to a doll head with a heat gun! These poor dolls! I just got two in with hot glue gun damage, and then they used this monster staple gun to staple the clothes on! I won’t be giving these two away, such damage is way too disconcerting for a child. Please doll rescuers, step away from your heat guns!
I think the dolls is not plastic, since baking is not the way to make plastic doll. The dolls must had been made from clay, perhaps polymer clay.
Cool video 📹
Awesome yaar
A little nerve racking to think about what outgassed into the food from the plastic! Amazing doll artist.
Tending to her husband and son.... 😄😄😝😜

I’m also still trying to figure that out!
I think it’s clay
Polymer clay
what camera did they film this on
Ik, its really high quality! 😂
Muñecas
Куклы похожи на хозяйку.
Didn't she get toxic poisoning by baking them in the same Oven she used for food? She looks very pale and unwell...
Is it just me that the doll looks damn creepy?!
just you.
only you
Those dolls are freaky
Just for you
Creepy.
As a doll maker it’s strange to see this video with sexist commentary
I'll just stick to Barbies, lol.
Horribles.
