New work coming slowly.
I have been working on new dolls. I spent the last month working on my IADR entry. I put so much time and effort into her. I did not win Ow well. Not the contest anyway. I did win some really great new skills. I was able to practice some new techniques on the larger scale doll.   She is named Dawn and is 20" tall. It took 5 pounds of clay and a solid month to make her. Her head is articulated. I spent 3 days sanding her. LOL I am very happy with her. I also got my new shipment of BOZZI clay. It hate the stiffness. But I love the clay overall. It is really hard to condition. But once it gets there. the color is gorgeous, the clay is bouncy so fine details are hard to achieve but once you get it baked it seems to be much less fragile. The raw clay isn't as bad a dust magnet as prosculpt either. Final vote. I may try to mix some kind of softer clay into the Bozzi to make it easier to condition. just a test piece to see how they blend and bake it. I will keep you informed.
