      @EliaMurrayArt ahh great, he's one of my favorite illustrators too. I actually discovered him when I was in high school because he would regularly show his work in the galleries in CIncinnati, OH where i grew up (He's from Indiana so the journey wasn't too far). There was one exhibit where he had all his sketchbooks out on display, it was SO cool to see his sketches and plans, notes for materials and such displayed along with the finished work. In his most recent book his endpapers are pics of all his props and what he made them out of and its mesmerizing. He puts his puppets up for sale all the time and I so badly want to buy one.

        @StudioLooong ohhh yeah that is a good dream that I share with you 100% I would LOVE to own one of his puppets. How luck you are you've seen his work in person! I bet it was full of inspiring tidbits.

        I'll have to pick up his recent book! I have not seen it. πŸ˜ƒ

                A little progress on Lisa. Just getting the major shapes in.
                Sanding, carving, and shaping to continue until I'm happy with how she looks. And then she will get painted. Trying to decide if I want to carve her mouth in, or paint it on... I'm thinking carve.

                  This is such a fun process to follow. Did you use a different kind of clay for her eyes?

                  I'm looking forward to more! 🍿

                      @TessaW Hi! Yes, it is a different clay.

                      I made a whole bunch of little eyes from Magic Sculpt clay a while ago. So I just grabbed them and popped them into her "skull" lol

                        OMG attaching the head just took it to a whole new level! Don't forget to go "She's alive! SHE'S ALLLIIIIIIVVVVEEEEE!" (Frankenstein style) when you'e done! πŸ˜†

                              πŸ₯°πŸ₯° progress!

                              Working on the hands next. Sigh I am feeling doubtful I can finish this by the end of the month. But I will do my very best!!!

                                Her face is too freaking cute! What kind of clay are you using? Her mouth is amazing, I can believe you did that with clay! I hope you get her finished before month's end!

                                  I don't have much to add here, but just wanted to say, "Whoaaa!" I love your character designs on paper just as they are, but you're definitely working on a few extra cylinders with this! I am following this...

                                    @Coley thank you! I am quite please with how her mouth is looking. And her ears πŸ₯°πŸ₯° I am using La Premier air dry clay. This is the first time I am trying it out. I chose it because I wouldn't have to use the oven and I could sculpt, dry, carve, sand and layer more clay on pretty easily.

                                    It is definitely waaayyy different than what I am used to (super sculpey) but I think I am actually liking it quite a bit more.

                                      @LauraA thank you!! Sometimes I really feel like it all "clicks" when I work dimensionally. This time is especially that. Like the drawings are all building up to something that would be built.

                                        @EliaMurrayArt I’ll have to try that clay out sometime.

                                        And...her. Ears. Are.the.cutest.things.ever!

                                          @Coley πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯° thank you. I am quite happy with them. She's going to have lots of hair so I figured she needed big ears.

                                            Made her hair this morning! All needle felted over some pipe cleaners.

                                            The hair is not currently attached. I'll paint her first and then glue the hair on. I'm absolutely obsessed with her now and I deeply apologize for spamming the forum with photos of her. πŸ™ˆ
