Exquisit!!!  I love the shading around the bridge of the nose! It really gives it more of a realistic textured skull look. The sculpting is so beautiful and flowing, like real leather, not static and stone like a lot of sculpting can look.  :3

are you using a pony as a base?  if so i'd approach it different.  If you arent, then its just deciding whether you want to paint the sculpture or use different colored clays.  Otherwise its all preference and practicality. If you dont have an oven handy, get an airdry clay like premier or creative paperclay or apoxie sculpt.  If you dont like waiting for things to dry go with sculpy and bake it!

If you are using a pony as a base then you need to find a clay that will stick and stay and not ruin the pony in time.  i personally love apoxie sculpt.  It seems to stay on the ponies the best and longest.  Sculpy works too, but it can chip off easily later depending on how thin it is.  And baking a pony can be frighting at first! I use both for different affects, if i want to repaint the whole pony i do the first, because the apoxie is not very colorful.  If i want a match i work with the sculpy, mixing colors to match the plastic. 

thanks!  maybe i'll buy a few different kinds and mess around with it before i take the plunge and buy a ton load!

Onygosh!!!  I got my package!  I really didnt think id get much of anything if anything at all!  I love the babies and the baity restores and i am totally in thr middle of painting my nails!  The hair and other things are great too!!!!   Thank you so very much!!! 
I feel bad i couldnt participate forumwise as i did with the last one. Life happened. And it has just finally started to slow down and get back to normal. Whoooh!  This is such a pick me up and a complete surprise!!!  Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!  <3 <3 <3

i personally dont have these ears, but something that i do when i make bjd with ears like that is to drill a hole in the bottom of the ear and add a magnet.  the magnet goes on the inside of the wig (or head depending how strong it is) and then there can be another magnet or magnetic piece of metal on the ears.  I personally would probably be trimming the ears down and adding the metal on the bottom with some super glue.  Though really tiny magnets can be a bit of a pain at times. 

the things i did best were staying away from certain foods and trying really really hard to not over calorie my diet.... the things i did worst were keep track of points, pig out on mt dew when stressed, not excersize like i wanted.  Granted this summer has been the worst summer EVER!!!! so im really really proud i did this well, and i did end up losing about 20 lbs from last christmas.  I lost more, but i gained about 5 or so back.... then lost it again....  I wish i could have been here alot more.  I needed the support and needed to give it, but it was just completly imposible.  :<  so WOOO its almost over, though i think it will continue for me.  I need it. ^_^   
So much love to you all and lets see if i can get back here before the complete end!!!!

im here! I still exist!!!!!  It has been one heck of a summer.... :/  I got going real good after my vacation, but then got a bit depressed and then stressed out and went to my comfort drink, dew..... not good.....  I am finally back to school and so home stuff cant bother me much, but other things always come up.  I have been keeping under my calories most days and have been excersizing, but i havent lost any weight in quite a while.... :<  I lost track of points a long time ago, if we are still doing them.... :/  since back at school i am getting a lot more ecersize, as i have to walk everywhere and carry a crap ton of stuff! so thats good.. bad though is the cafeteria.... i swear everything including the icecream is covered in olive oil.... and not just a little bit...... yuik!!!! so eating a lot of sammiches and cottage cheese.. . yeah... ^_^

8 pts this week!!!  best week yet!!! ^__^  two fail days, so some of that was from exercise!! ^_^   Bike's finally fixed and am already feeling sore from riding it around to adjust the breaks. 
It's been hard though.  There is so much chaotic stupid dama in my life all i want to do is eat chocolate bacon and mt dew.... not mixed together though.  So that has been my downfall.  I finally finished the dew in the house and dad bought more..... sadface.... maybe i'll lock it in the basement closet, but if i get too stressed i know where i'll be.... :< 
BUT, in finishing commissions and craft shows for the summer i wont have the stress of getting things done in a timely matter, so i can concentrate on unpacking and clearing out things.  I am trying to combine both being healthier physically and living healthier, as in with not as much stuff.   I come from a family of hoarders and after our last move i have realized that i could very well have the tendency to have that happen too..... especially with being an artist and having many collections.  :/  so the goal of the summer, be healthier, live healthier, and save money while doing so! ^_^  (stop buying junk to eat and junk to pile up!)

and i must say that surfstar you are amazing!!! <3  just crazy amazing! ^_^   thanks for the support every one.  It has been quite helpful.   <3 u all!!!
