More sculpting in Polymer Clay

E and I have been working hard together to do some sculpting. We started with a wooden spoon as a base to the head, Sculpey clay and polyglass eyes. We followed along the instructions provided by sculpt university to make a witch.

I love this lady's work and her tutorials are so much fun!

You can see the base of the wooden spoon sticking out the bottom. Yes these heads are large! We still have to paint the face with heat set genesis paint and add ears. The back of the head will be built up from padding and fabric. Then onto hands, feet and armature. I was really impressed with E's one. She has done a fabulous job in creating the head. Mine is on the right. Not bad for a kid!

We are also planning her next birthday party. This year we will be doing an "Ever After High" theme. This is so new that there is not a lot out there. Thank goodness for Pinterest. We decided to play on the fairytale theme. Our craft is going to be a small terrarium with a mushroom house. The ladies will add sand, rock, moss and a few mushrooms (Polymer clay) and a mushroom house.



We will have a sit down dinner, so we have kept the number invited very small. A game of freeze tag- red riding hood and wolf style, some smores and a great movie... The sleepover has all been planned out by E and she is very excited: )
