Camille Allen – Artist Dolls & Sculptures

This is the last post about the Doll Exhibition. I will leave you with my favourite artist – Camille Allen. This Canadian born artist learnt this art for 8 years!! She actually started or learnt making large life size dolls. Then one day, from bits of clay left over from a larger doll, she created a miniature baby. She loved this so much… that she continued to experiment and make them… Here are a few of her creations..

While we stood there… she made the eyes, mouth and features of this little baby….

The babies are made of polymer clay. Once crafted, this clay has to be treated at high temperature of 265 to 275 deg F.

I’m off for a long weekend.. and will leave you with a few of her babies…. The details, the eyes, the mouth, the wrinkles… are truly the work of an extremely talented artist…
