Update Let's Make a Mermaid she has been cooked

Update Let's Make a Mermaid. Well I lost count at 280 and I was no where finished with these sea foliage I call them lol. Im so pleased the armature and apoxie sculpt produced a very strong armature and held the polymer clay in position. Ok I can breathe easy... She is 12" without tail fin. See all of you in my tutorial going to finish her up and move on to my next project. What will it be? Well I have some idea's but I really want to feel it and then I will jump into my own world.

Update Let's Make a Mermaid How I insert arms

All that are following Lets Make a Mermaid here are pic I took explaining how I use 2part apoxie to insert the arms. This will not be in my tutorial because I think the pic explain it and the tutorial won't be so long.
Disclaimer this way is in no way of saying this is for everyone. This here sharing with you is what works for me and is so much easier then working with wires. I found by breaking my doll down into sections and using the Aves Apoxie Sculpt it gives me the strength, durability and the freedom to stage bake. Do not be afraid to experiment with your dolls and truly go outside of your box and find what works for you instead of following one way that you may struggle with because someone said to do it that way. Expand with yourself and thats when you will find your style.

Colors I will be using for the mermaids tail on the sea foliage

Played with some colors for my mermaid tail and decided it will be like this. Off to experiment on some hair. Im almost ready to make another tutorial so you can see how Im putting this all together.

A new color I have discovered for doll eye's

Gave a class today and thought I would share this with all of you. I love the color and now I have to make another Tink with this color. I was never happy with my tinkerbells because I never could get the color I wanted. Im happy. Back to the mermaid.

Let's Make a Mermaid update!

Working on Mermaid tail I'm up to 120 of these sea foliage on her tail LOL.. Im going to let the clay rest at this point and then I will work on the upper torso. Make the holes in the shoulders so I can insert the arms. I will cut the wire off at the end of tail, make hole so I can insert the tail fin. One other thing I want to do. Where she is sitting Im going to take clay and make just the design of the foliage because I want her bottom that is resting to look finished and part of her. Im taking the nite off and Im going to go and watch some youtube video's from the event ‪#‎lovesummerart‬. So many amazing artist if you love watching all kinds of art.

Wanted to share with all of you this part of Lets Make a Mermaid Tail.  I have a ways to go and will keep posting pictures as I move along.
