HOW TO MAKE A DOLL

Toy making is an age-old craft in India, but it changed in one important way a few decades ago. While traditionally the stuffed toys were covered with velvet, now craftsmen use sheep or goat leather as it imparts a lifelike quality to the animal figures. The muscle tone shines through leather. But why not use the more common buffalo hide? Because three qualities make sheep and goat skins ideal for this work: They are thinner than other hides and take the shape of the cast that they are stuck upon. Secondly, they absorb color very well, which is essential to make the animals look lifelike. Finally though they are expensive, their supply is abundant.

The Indian city Indore is famous for its lifelike stuffed animal figure toys elephant, horses, camels etc.

THE PROCESS OF MAKING TOYS

The process of making the toys is requires a high degree of skill, which the craftsmen acquire with years of practice. Be it a horse, tiger, camel or any other animal they all start out as a wire frame, twisted deftly within a minute. The same hand then bind straw over this frame to create a rough form upon which paper pulp is moulded. The first workman completes his job within five minutes and then another presses paper pulp onto this skeleton with a mould. Since the pulp is wet and tender the figure is left out in the open to dry for a day. Next day before the pulp hardens completely an artist touches up thae acast animal by defining its muscles and checks for any serious flows that might result in rejection. All this takes just 15 minutes and after some more drying the piece is ready for its skin.
When the toys are complete, they will be packed and shipped worldwide.
