The head & body are one piece, with tinfoil in the center to even out the baking time. Holes are pierced in the earlobes of the lady dolls. There are 2 floral wire loops at the front-bottom of each body to attach the legs to, and floral wire loops at the shoulders to attach the arms to (loops are pushed in prior to baking).
The hands (with arms above the wrist) and feet (with legs above the ankle)) are Sculpey with floral wire loops pushed into the top of each before baking. Once baked, long pieces of floral wire are attached to the loops on the arms & legs, and run through a stitched fabric tube. The fabric tube is then fitted over the ends of the arms and legs and glued down. The tube is filled with sand (in the legs), and batting (in the arms). The ends are glued shut, the clay and fabric are painted a flesh tone, shoes/socks painted appropriately, and the ends of the wire are attached to the loops on the body.

The ladies all have very saggy boobs, which are sand filled fabric glued to the body. The first pot bellies I did were round pieces of fabric glued to the body & filled with sand, but now I am filling them with batting. The arms were originally filled with sand as well, but it made them too heavy, so now there are batting filled also. The legs still have sand to give them the added weight.
