Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A doll is a model of a human being. Dolls have been around since the dawn of human civilization, and have been fashioned from a vast array of materials, ranging from stone, clay, wood, bone, cloth and paper, to porcelain, china, rubber and plastic. While dolls have traditionally been toys for children, they are also collected by adults, for their nostalgic value, beauty, historical importance or financial value. In ancient times, dolls were used as representations of a deity, and played a central role in religious ceremonies and rituals. Lifelike or anatomically correct dolls are used by health professionals, medical schools and social workers to train doctors and nurses in various health procedures or investigate cases of sexual abuse of children. Artists sometimes use jointed wooden mannequins in drawing the human figure. Action figures representing superheroes and their predecessors, action dolls, are particularly popular among boys.

GNU Free Documentation License What type of adhesive do I use to repair my porcelain doll? Q. I have a 44" doll porcelain head, shoulders, stuffed body, porcelain lower arms and lower leg. She fell over, on hrdwood floor. Apparently stand was too small to support her weight. Clean break completely across back of shoulder, separating front shoulder with head from back shoulder blades. Would like to reglue, and of course super glue doesn't bond to this porous material. Designer numbered doll. Any suggestions? And if know where I can find a taller, sturdier stand as I have no carpeting for a soft landing, should this happen again. Asked by GrammyB5 - Tue Jan 16 19:23:36 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. I took a ceramics class and my favorite piece broke. My teacher was a very well-known potter in the mid-west named Paul Dressang. He suggested regular Elmer's glue and it worked like a dream. That was a number of years ago and my piece is still holding up. Supposedly, the bond will be as strong the actual material. This works because the material is porous. It will work with all clays, woods, etc. The nice thing about it is that Elmer's dries clear so you won't see it.

What kind of wood should I use? What can I make items such as furniture, food, etc items with? Asked by Asher - Sat Jan 10 00:22:30 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. If these are intended for kids, and you're in the US or intend to sell in the US, don't go any farther until you've read about the new CPSIA regs (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act). These affect ALL products intended for use by children under the age of 12. The link I'm going to give you is specifically for small clothing manufacturers, but there are links from there to the handmade toy alliance, etc. At the moment, the regs are essentially that all products are guilty until proven innocent by some fairly expensive lab tests, in certified labs. and a large new chunk of the law goes into effect 10 Feb 2009. This is a law with some big sharp teeth, so I urge you read things carefully. and -- then search CPSIA Answered by kay - Sat Jan 10 07:24:16 2009 Where can I find dolls like the Coraline doll from the movie?
