3rd times a charm

Here is my latest attempt.  I tried something a little different and painted her entire face with my oil paint/liquid polymer mix.  I then sanded it and painted on her facial features.  It gives the clay a more organic feel.  I thought the other two looked a little too plastic for my earthy tastes.  I have grand plans for this one.  I'm going to bead a little bird's nest hat for her.  Yes, I have gone off the deep end.  But I like the water!

Her lovely striped stocking feet.  I created these by overlaying a striped cane on the sculpted feet.  I like socks - much easier than toes!  Now for some hands/arms to match and she'll be ready for assembly.  I'm going to do her body in an embroidered silk that I've been using for pillows!

I love her face. Actually, I love how all of their faces look a bit real and yet still quirky and not at all perfect doll like. They look much more interesting and have personalities.

I agree, I love the texture in the face and the "quikiness". How fun!

ACK, meant "quirkiness", eventhough I really don't know if it's even a word.
