mini baby WIP

After messing around with a ball of clay last night, this little face emerged.  My sixth sculpt in progress.  I think she's pretty cute, eh? :)

I'm actually pretty surprised at how quickly I sculpted her head.  Usually it takes me weeks to perfect one.  I guess it's the perfectionist in me.  Anyhow, here's a quick pic (sorry for the bad lighting, it's been raining all day).  Off to sculpt some teeny tiny limbs!

join me on my sculpting journey...

Three years ago, I created my first baby out of polymer clay.  I was eleven.  His features were a bit...lacking, but it was a start.  And after that first baby, I wanted to make another one.  And another one.

I haven't been able to stop since.

My first OOAK baby

Now I'm fourteen, and in between school, and track, and my swamped schedule, I still find time to sculpt.  I'm only on my sixth sculpt, but there have been dozens of discarded attempts in between.  I've learned a lot from each of them, and I'm still improving.  I hope that shows with each new OOAK (one of a kind) baby I make.

My name is Izzy, by the way.  Welcome to my blog, which will be dedicated to everything sculpting.  This is where I'll share work in progress pics, random thoughts, tutorials and anything in between. :)
