She started with a child's building block, an old wooden spoon, and a couple of clothespins. The bottom stick of the spoon became her arms. Paperclay did the rest. I love paperclay. Have I mentioned I love paperclay?
I think the mask suits her.

Meet Marcelle.
I finished her, actually the sealer went on this morning. Our Mini-Monthly Challenge on the ADO (art dolls only) team was a Masque theme...and as I happened to already have her 5/8th of the way finished, and knew I wanted a sort of twenties, flapper-girl follies kind of face, she decided she'd cooperate and dress for the challenge. Nice of her, wasn't it? I get the feeling she's not always so cooperative.
