This piece has good news and bad news. I used a fiber clay, and I'm very disappointed with the cracking. That huge crack in the front wasn't there after the bisque firing. I'm thinking that perhaps I fired too fast. The good news is that I do love the way the piece came out. The arms sagged pretty much exactly as I hoped they would. The pockets are "real" in that I actually could insert a finger in the pocket. I like how the colors on the dress came out. I like the way fiber clay can be made very thin and that's how I did the ruffle on the bottom. I had great fun making the hair and greater fun adding the blue highlights.
