Update still moving along with my ball jointed doll

I wanted to share what I have been doing with my ball jointed doll. I haven't been able to spend enough hours with it this week due to class's I give. 
I also would like to say this with my style of making bjds. I may not make them as others I honestly don't know. And I say this because I'm the type of person I love to figure things out for myself. I learn much faster when I think things out and then make a mistake. We all are different and we must do what works for each of us. When I was making porcelain dolls it was my whole starting point of learning and expanding onto many different things. So, I already had a little knowledge with ball jointed, but I never had enough experience. I feel even today experience has no end in any kind of medium we choose to use. For many years I have been wanting to create for myself polymer clay to look and feel like porcelain. By incorporating the wax I can now have a much thinner layer of clay that now gives me a translucent look.

Getting the arm started and on upper torso

I wanted to share with all of you tonight what I have done today.  I especially wanted you to see what the arm looks like when I start applying the polymer clay.  Now sometimes if my wax is to much I will shave it down.  You also can shave it down by carving the shape in the wax too.
Well I'm going to end this day with all the wonderful treasures of life that has been given to me today.  See all of you soon!  Night and hugs

Setting the eyes lots of pictures

Are you ready ok here we go! You will see by learning how to make a hollow head.  You won't be limited to what you can do or use.  No more concerns with the heat from your oven.  At this stage my doll head will never go in oven when doing a ball jointed doll. If not a ball jointed I still would make a hollow head. But the whole doll will be completely cooked then I would do the eyes.
