My first attempt at sculpting...

...a one of a kind doll. I've been wanting to do this for about 6 years. I've wanted to sculpt something for much longer than that. Why, on earth, it takes me so long to get with the program, I may never know. But I've gotten with it over that last week and wanted to post some pics of my first try. Please keep in mind (she?) is still in the very beginning stages...so her head isn't quite the right shape yet and she's got a pretty bad case of the mumps...I mean bumps. I was more anxious to see if I could get the facial structure and features right...or close to right...than I was about smoothing out my clay.

So...here she is for all to see and judge...(READ: PLEASE, don't really judge me, cuz i'm very sensitive and if you hate her and tell me it'll probably scar me for life)
