Work in Progress:Progress

Today, I found some bunny head references that were right for what I needed.

So one thing led to another and I now have my  base cloth head!

The sewn head will not be seen, as it will be under the sculpted clay.

I soft sculpted the eye sockets and ironed the ears.

Everything is now covered in the first layer of paper clay.

I know this gives the illusion that I know what I'm doing

but I wasn't sure if the clay would stick to the or just crumble and flake off.

What I did learn is that I am never making a stuffed cloth head for one of these again

Next time I am buying a commercially made, preformed, off-the-shelf

polystyrene egg, because there will be less crying 

and fewer salty oaths.
