Do you like Gollies? If so you might like this one who is so unusual.He has a hand sculpted porcelain face -big eyes and a large smiley mouth.
Golly Brown is made from mohair -some hand dyed and is cotterpin jointed for lots of poses.His wild hair is a 3" long mohair.His hands and boots are felt and I have given him a collar and bow tie and little leather and braid braces.
Golly Brown feels nice and heavy to hold as he has a bag of steel shot in his tummy.
He looks nice sitting amongst the bears!

Great to see some more gollies - they were one of my favourite toys as a child.    His outfit is perfect.
How do you go about handsculpting in porcelain?  I have only heard of the poured method.

Best wishes,

Copi.

Hi -I pour from the mold which I have made -it is in a very rough state being a hand made mold .I then have to sculp and finish off the greenware. So each one is unique as they are all finished with the details by hand.
