My Hands are Small , I know .

I decided I would try my hand  (hee hee ) at some Yoshida style doll hands and of course I do this...



um ..two rights don't make it right ! whoops , I guess I get a little overzealous and don't pay attention to what I'm doing. Owell I'll have an extra hand for the next one.

I started her the other day and I have been brainstorming on how to do her body , I didn't want to make her whole body out of clay this time because I really like the cloth/rag doll feel ,but I also like the detail you can get from the painted paperclay head , hands and legs. I want to do her half cloth / half clay (kinda like a porcelain doll I guess) and just trying to figure out how to put it all together..


She's just a head and doesn't look like much but I have faith that I can make her awesome,  I guess that is part of the process. Sometimes I just know something is not working how I want and I am not happy with it almost the whole time but when I stick with it and get it finished, it all seems to work out in the end .It becomes transformed into what I envisioned in my imagination or gosh dern close to it.
I'm going to attach a paperclay chest plate and sew her on to a cloth body I think , It should work. I am going to make her arms and legs all the way up to the body out of clay and attach them at the shoulder and thigh . Well , if that makes any sense ! It makes sense in my head anyway.


Coming along , now that I have made two right hands I'll have to do the other one over and still have to work on them a bit anyway , They are not easy ! I also have to sew her body. Then comes the fun part , clothes and finishing touches , can't wait ! now If I can keep my art a.d.d. in check long enough to finish something completely before I start working on something else.
