A New Cousin

My brother's newest baby was born Friday, August 2nd (a week late!) and we went to see her in the hospital.  We were there when the rest of the kids came and got some pictures of them meeting their new sister, too.

The whole family (Yes, that's 1 boy and 7 girls!) 

I love the look on next-to-youngest, Clara's face!

I Made More OOAK Polymer Clay Art Baby Dolls

Okay, so that's the fancy way of saying I sculpted some more clay babies!  I really enjoy working with the clay and forming a little doll, but so far, they don't really come out looking like an infant, which was my goal.  I got a new kind of clay (FIMO rather than Sculpey II) and it was nicer to work with, although it got lint covered easier/faster.  I still need to improve but I do think I got a little bit closer!  I need more work on the limbs!  I found a tutorial on how to paint the clay creations using acrylic paint (which I had) and to attach the hair with Liquid FIMO (which I also had). 

So here are the latest two clay babies:

Cody
~5½" tall, soft body, jointed

 

I broke his finger off

The limbs on the left are unpainted and the ones on the right are painted
 

Deborah

All clay body, 2½" tall. I also knit her some little accessories.
