I had the most wonderful four day class with Ankie Daanen. I learned how to sculpt heads, hands and feet out of clay. As you can see from my almost finished head I learned a lot. Not only did I learn how to do some sculpting but also how to paint it with watercolor, a new medium for me. Because there wasn't enough time in class Ankie made costumes for all the dolls. They are exquisite with much attention to detail. As soon as I get pictures of my finished doll I will post them. I am looking forward to practicing my newly learned techniques and hopefully improving on them.
