Uncompleted Outcome

soul of a nation book really inspired me to just have a go at experimenting and taking my time to prefect a new skill. with this needle felting i was thinking about reparation, i had to work carefully and attentively because it was delicate work.  i will apply the same thinking when experimenting with clay

i used this dummy to help me when constructing the lims and joints of my doll, this helped me a lot.

but i realised i liked the some of imperfections in the outcome. so when making my clay doll, i'm not going focus on making it perfect.
