Wow - today was great! We spent most of the day learning to sculpt a face. It's not easy! If it wasn't for lots of help from Barbara we'd all have aliens or monsters for the most part. Our faces aren't delicate by any means. After we cooked the faces we made molds of them and then made a paper clay mask from the mold. Tomorrow we're going to learn to put the lycra over the face, paint it, and start to assemble the doll. Unfortunately mine won't have arms for a while as I managed to blow the seams on both arms and I don't have any more of the fabric I used. I think my machine burped and made such a tiny stitch that it perforated the fabric because I've never had a forearm blow open before, the back of the neck on the torso blew too. Strange. Anyhow - here's my sculpt:
Great face! You did a good job with this, Judi! I didn't realize there are so many steps to making a mold. Duh! Hope you'll show us not only the finished face, but a whole lot of other photos from your class! Hint! Hugs and talk to you later.
