Mimi’s Mannequins: Lesson 5 MakingArm&Hand

This video is all of Lesson 5: Making Arm and Hands from Mimi’s Mannequins & Pattern Draping. It includes turning the fingers, making finger turning tools, wiring the fingers to grasp things and pose, stuffing and closing the arm, and posing the fingers and wrist. Mimi’s Mannequins and Pattern Draping (Techniques for Dollmaking) is almost finished and it is spectacular. It has almost 6 hours of classroom video full of techniques for dollmaking. Mimi’s Mannequins presents quarter-scale male and female mannequins as separate patterns with a single set of instructions for both. The dollmaking workshop is all about techniques and the similarity of the human form. Mimi’s Pattern Draping shows you how to create patterns for clothing that will fit your own dolls. It uses the mannequins as tailor’s dummies for draping the clothing patterns.
