Learning how to fly.

I’ve begun a new little doll. This one will be a baby elf who is about to fly for the first time. She’s still a bit hesitating and tests the strength of her wings.

As promised, I took some pictures of the different steps of the making.

(I didn’t forget this time, I’m getting good!)

First of all: the face, the essential part that is going to give some personality to the doll.

Then the body, the feet and the hands.

When the different parts of the body are made up, I put the whole doll in the oven to make the clay a bit softer.

But it’s far from being finished.

Now it’s time for the hardest part: the sanding. It takes a lot of time but it has to be done.

There will be some corrections to do later and then, oven again.

After that, she’ll be all bright and fresh and I’ll be able to do what I prefer the most: the painting.
