There are 3 class projects that I'd love for you to share your progress.

Concept Sketch- All you need is a pencil, paper, your imagination, and perhaps some reference photos. (Google is your friend!) Once you decide what type of art doll you’ll be creating, look up reference photos to help you pick out the highlights of what you want to accentuate. (For instance, if it’s a type of bird, beak shape and size help you distinguish it from other birds.) Do a super messy sketch to get your idea down, and then a slightly cleaner sketch to show proportions, how big you want the head in relation to body and the other limbs. Can’t wait to see all your imaginations!
Sculpting wip- You’ll need polymer clay, an oven and oven temperature gauge, tools of your choice including nail art tools, dental tools, needles, fingers, and just about anything you want! Some other things you can use is tin foil, translucent liquid sculpey, thin wires, and whatever you want for the eyes. Please share photos of your wip, it’s so inspiring to see your sketch turn into a 3D object!
Finished doll: You’ll need your finished baked clay pieces (wait until they’re cool, think happy thoughts of patience haha) soft material for the body (microfiber blankets are your friend) stuffing, glue, needle, thread, and scissors. Yayyyy CONGRATS!! You’ve finished putting all those pieces together, and your own original doll has come to life! Pleaseeee share your end result, I can’t wait to see what we all created with each other!
