bonsaikathy: yeah
lindynetmom: Yessss
kmrhodes: she holds the heads with a handle that she places on the
back of the head
kmrhodes: so she doesn't mess up the face
lindynetmom: I didn't see the handle
kmrhodes: its a piece of clay that she attached to the back of the
head
merrie60us: great idea
kmrhodes: just to hold it. it gets covered up by the "scarf"
sylsnovelties: You can see it in the mirror.
merrie60us: Is she making eyes
kmrhodes: is that the oval I made or a 3/16 kemper?
kmrhodes: its the oval
merrie60us: cut out two tiny circles from a different sheet of clay
kmrhodes: I made those

chenoa_2b: I know I would have white all over from the eye part, and
then I would have mud from the eye and lid if I tried to do it!

kmrhodes: interesting
chelyha: well mine looks like he's been in a fight, but I think I get
the idea
chelyha: of how to do it
