The English name Mei in Hayao Miyazakis "My Neighbor Totoro" movie, so we usually call her Xiaomei, is a 4-year-old cute little sister. She has a lively personality, is good at observing interesting things around her, and occasionally behaves rashly. Many friends who have watched My Neighbor Totoro like her.
Today we are going to learn how to make a Xiaomei doll using polymer clay/ultra-light clay. Since the body part is similar to the doll making method introduced before in the craft work, and it is not very difficult, we will skip it. The main introduction is The production of Xiaomeis head.
It is mainly divided into 3 parts: facial expression, hairstyle and hat. The most difficult part is making the expression. If it is not handled well here, the whole doll will definitely not be as beautiful. As for the hairstyle, hat, body parts, etc. Slight flaws have little impact.
