now waiting to dry.

Great Job.....I like to never found Shawn s blog  TV page but he has a clay tutorial I believe you will enjoy. He has some great techniques. It is time for him to do another one. He uses plasticine clay but I would think paper clay would work just the same.

Thank you, Billy. There is a difference between paper clay and plasteline.The plasteline is elastic and moist by itself.Then the drying process is different too.This is for me just an experiment. I don't have the patience for minute detail and miniature dolls.

she is ready.Sitting on a pumpkin or having a pumpkin skirt because she is my pumpkin doll.
Had a hard time painting her face as she is so tiny.

Very Nice! I Love the idea of using the pumpkin.  I imagine hundreds more just like her in the Land of Pumpkinville

WOW! Another beautiful creation!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much Billy and Lisa.If it wasn't so difficult for me with these arthritic hands I would love to try more paperclay.

That's awesome! I love her! The face came out great, as did the rest of the doll! =D

Thank you KM.I admit for a first try it'd not bad.

and here are my matryoshka dolls also in paperclay and acrylics.
