2014 Gypsy Challenge

I got so wrapped up in designing a new Mardi Gras costume that I’d forgotten I didn’t have a doll yet!  So, out to the shop, choose a (gourd) head, mount it on the sculpting post and gather a torso ( also a gourd) , chop sticks, etc – and started my doll.  I put her together with hot glue – and I may be sorry for that – then used home made air dry clay to reinforce the joints.  A couple of hours in front of a fan has hardened the clay and everything seems to be holding well.  Now I must wait for my clay to arrive.  It seems both art supply stores in my area no longer carry the clay I prefer to work with.  But Dick Blick does!
