A Character Begins to Come Together

Earlier this year, I took an online course to learn polymer sculpting a female head.  I’ve now made three heads, plus about half a dozen heads I’ve done over the years from paperclay.  Hmmm.  Maybe I should think about giving them bodies!!

You may have seen this head lurking in the background of some of my Wednesday WOW pictures.  It’s the first one I completed in the class I mentioned.

This week I finally gave her a body!  I had such a good time stitching, testing, and re-stitching, but there’s something not quite right here.

Yes!  That’s better!  Not perfect yet, but much better.  This is only the beginning, though.  She needs clothing and embellishments – not to mention hair!  Oh, my head is spinning with ideas for this girl. 

More to come as she evolves.
