Paper Clay Sculpting

After cutting and arranging end of season flowers from a neighbor, some of us did a little seasonal project.

1. Cover a styrofoam ball with clay.

2. Mark middles and eye holes.

3. Shape and adhere a nose. No sculpting yet, just attaching.

4. Add a "noodle" for upper lip.

5. Do the same for lower lip. Blend edges.

6. Add a chin. 

7. Add round cheeks. Then work on smooothing and adding details like nostrils and lip shape and so on.

8. Form a stem and attach. Keep refining forms.

     Isn't he cute?

This will get more smoothing as the Clay sets up.

Another cute one, waiting to dry then get painted.
