I have made the tough decision to start my current art doll over again. I'd invested a lot of time in it already, but there were several reasons screaming at me to start afresh.
1. The armature wasn't very practical, and I wanted to try that part over.
2. The clay was a mix of Super Sculpey and plain white Sculpey, and the effect didn't have the nice skin-like quality of clay that I wanted.
3. The clay was FILTHY. I don't know how that happened.
4. The dimensions/sculpting choices were a bit off, and I felt that I could do better if I started over.
So I scrapped the other doll, bought some lovely fresh clay for the next, and made a better armature.
This art doll will be the same subject and pose, just more well done. I really hope I can finish it by Christmas. Cross your fingers. ;)
Ta ta for now.
