Each of Mary's
soft sculpture mannequins
is a unique, one of a kind, doll. All
custom made mannequins
are specifically designed for the customer. The
"look" of the
custom made dolls
can range in age from a smooth faced child to a
weathered 105-year-old. All nationalities and
ethnic groups can be represented. Extensive
research is undertaken for the more
"challenging" requests.
These characters can be made to sit or stand
depending on the order. Their arms are jointed
and fingernails are applied to the fingers.
The removable head, which allows it to be turned in
any direction, is created using stocking or
stocking-like fabric. Life-like eyes, eyelashes. and
human wigs are used to give a realistic appearance.
After the head is painstakingly sculptured, it is
sprayed with clear plastic acrylic to keep its shape
and eliminate "running." The dolls may be placed
indoors or out.
