Thankful
The Gut Art class has ended and for the last challenge I made
an art doll. This time I didn't use a bottle for my armature. I had no idea
where I would go after I started with the head. I finished her head with paint, etc. and it stayed
mounted on skewer for a week before I took the next step. I doubt if anyone would be so naive as to make something like this
without a plan, one body part at a time. I used a cornstarch dough recipe I
found online because it dries to a hard strong finish. Like all air dry clays, shrinking
and cracking is problem, but it is easy to fill them later.
I decided to title my doll, "Thankful" and will make
her part of my Thanksgiving Day center piece. I hope your Thanksgiving Day is
blessed and filled with gratitude.
This looks store bought, Eva, wow, the colors are fabulous. The details, facial expression, hands, apron, all of it, love it. I am thankful for our friendship, too. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
