Dolls in progress for artisan fair
Here are some enormous "bead" heads made from scratch in polymer clay over foil, with small ceramic beads for eyes.
One is a young woman, maybe a bride or a dancer . The other will be an old granny, a spirit of the earth and harvest and a storyteller.
Here are the sketches from my notebook that continue to inspire these figures, who are like giant wish dolls.
I think I am going to make some other bead heads, with the hole going vertically to be charms and decorations. I have a charm trade coming up soon.

I have come to the realization that polymer clay works best when more time is taken to bake in layers. It is a great exercise in patience for me. I found the same thing when using liquid polymer clay to attach painted faces to acrylic discs for pins. Oh wait - I haven't posted any of those that I just did last week. Ah. Off to set up the camera again.
