Description

It turns out that sculpting really really tiny snowflakes/swirls is pretty much impossible. It also turns out that smushing colors together to make striped limbs doesn't work, as this boy's original limbs can attest to. He fell once and they just started to shatter.

I came very very close to just tossing him in the garbage but I decided to give my white paint a chance. I baked a few test pieces from the same color as the doll's body and painted clay for the first time ever. I had to use some tool with a ball on the end since I only have one brush, which is wayyyy too big for any sort of actual paintwork on clay stuff and is only for glazing. The test pieces all survived like 6 rounds of baking so I gave it a shot on the doll himself.

Obviously I'm not a painter, but it didn't turn out too horrifically for my first try! He's far from perfect but it was good practice. His imperfections are kind of cute, and many of them are covered on the final doll.
