Work in Progress Weekend: Hermione polymer clay figure

Hope everyone had a great Christmas with your family and friends~ :)


For the first Work in Progress Feature, I'd like to share the making of Hermione which was my first custom order from a friend~ :) 

1. Made the head and body. Trying to get the red and yellow stripy tie on
2. Managed to get the robe on, but had to take the hair off so that her hair don't get squashed. (Rethink hair strategy time... (>.<;)) also made her book here! arms not attached yet. Most of the tie got covered up... (why did i do all the stripes...(=.=;)) and added to her "roundness"
3. By this time the sun had set and I'm now working with the orangey lamp light :( Arms attached! Hair (took the looong route) attached! book attached! added shirt collar!
4. Back view of the curls~ oh sooo many curls~ lol
5. Painted eyes and mouth and drew the book cover features on after baking~ Oh and I also powdered her hair and wand with some sparkly PearlEx~  

And then TaDa~ the completed Hermione after glazing~ :)

Happy Boxing Day!! :)
