Forty years ago Adelia lined all the bodies (inside and out) for the figures we made. She also made the arms and legs. Today, as I need them, she still makes the arms and legs for the figures, but lining the bodies is up to me. I can tell you that after lining the fully contoured body for the Insull figure, I have a new appreciation for the work Adelia did back in the day!
Do you the heavy or light ply muslin, ever used burlap? LeeDean
ReplyDeleteMuslin is too light, in my opinion. I cover with felt. However I would not use felt if I did not have a solid surface behind it. But all the bodies I build do have that solid surface in some manner.
