Face Resources
The Face is the first thing people look at when they look at a doll and its one of the most challenging things to make when learning about doll making. I have beginning dollmakers use face molds or premade faces. Ultimately you want to learn how to make your own faces. This takes time and lots of experimentation and practice.
Face Push Molds - In United States - Minnesota
I personally like Maureen Carlson’s Push Molds
High quality and easy to use.
I used her F21, F22, F23 which are 2 and ¼ “ face molds
There may be others you like as well.

There are other Face Mold makers on Etsy, they tend to be smaller than Maureen's. Check sizes and prices before ordering.
