| This is how Baby Nancy arrived. |
Baby Nancy's shattered condition upon arrival prompted me to devise a plan to make her whole. Initially, I was going to use a form of papier-maché to repair the vinyl body, but I had to piece it together like a puzzle first.
The video below describes the repair process using micropore tape, Mod Podge, plastic, felt, and paint.*

Thank you again to the doll friend who allowed me to rehome Baby Nancy.

Wow, amazing job as usual. I think you were wise not to add chemicals when chemical break down is what started her disintegration. I am amazed at how well you put her back together when repairing a hard body doll is NOT as easy as sewing up a fabric doll! She is so cute, I am glad you were able to save her.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I was able to repair her, too. It was like putting a jigsaw puzzle together finding which pieces went where. It got easier after most of the larger pieces were in place. Thank you!
