Doll

She is finished! After 3 days of embellishing I have had enough! I have a story to tell about her. She was at one time almost complete, but I did not like her face, so I took a knife and actually cut the head in half and started over sculpting a whole new face( One of the great things about paperclay!). It is hard to get a pretty face (with paperclay), but that can be a good thing if your trying for primitive or rustic look. I am going to have to set up a background and lighting so the pics will be better.Click on pic for larger view

    OMG, Kim! She's truly MAGNIFICENT! She's soooo beautiful, and she looks as though she can move any second. Surely you have a touch of a "Fairy Godmother" in you to create something so gorgeous! Hugs, Terri xoxo

    Kim she is fabulous. How amazing. You are so gifted and I'm always blown away. Her details are wonderful and her face turned out so perfect. I would love to play with paper clay and learn. I really enjoy doing faces.

    Awesome! At first i thought it was going to be earthy-like but now i'm thinking more of an enchanted fairy thing going on. I love the face and her dress! Very cool!
