Step by step on the Missionary's Downfall topless hula girl. Dan was my advisor!
She was done with Super Sculpey. I've use it for years and it's fun to have the original to paint and keep. My next project is the Sacramento Crawl ceramic for that I'll use Romo clay which stays soft. The original is destroyed at the end and the clay is reused.

Here goes. Wendy

Gecko came for a visit after Oasis.
He showed me how to change the face so that she was easier to paint later.

I added clay and fine tuned the face.

I baked her too long in the convection oven. She did not become brittle so I was lucky.

I sanded her and then I painted her with acrylic paint so she would be slick.

I sent her to Hawaii and Gecko made a 6 piece mold.

When I got one of the molds I cast two and added clothing to one.

The poor topless girl exploded in the kiln when she was fired.

Until I actually glaze one or Gecko makes some this will be the end for the Missionary's Downfall bowl and hula girl.
