My Halloween Experiment w/ clay...

I've never really worked w/ clay in the past, but today I decided to try it out to see how I like it. Just for kicks, something new and interesting to try... I thought creating something for Halloween would be nice, since it is right around the corner....

Everything is created from various colors of baking clay (Premo' Brand) I decided to make her faceless. Im a BIG fan of folk art... and if you are familiar with folk art, there are alot of creations such as angels that do not have faces... I thought this would make her a little more FOLKY. :) The biggest challenge for me was getting her to stand without help, luckily thanks to some toothpicks and a lot of patience, I got her to stand up through out the baking process. She isnt really that big, maybe 4 inches tall, and about 2 inches wide. I didnt think a big project was a good idea for a beginner such as myself. I really love how she turned out and hate that I am selling her *but what's the point of having a business if you cant unattach yourself from everything and sell it* hee hee... She is for sell... I will be selling her on my etsy site and also I am putting her in a yard sale this weekend. She is only $3.50 plus $1.00 shipping. If you are interested in purchasing my folk witch please email me at Grl4ART@aol.com :) Thanks so much :)
