I guess I've done a lot of that style of carving. It gets easier over time. TikiAno it just takes practice and lack of fear. I was always afraid I would ruin a mug when I would start carving, now it's much easier to look and to know where to make the cuts. ================================================ Hula Girl altered version. I did this cast a month ago and she's been in a plastic bag waiting to get out. When I did this sculpture I had her leaning back too far. To fix her posture I just cut out a wedge. I add some sticky slip as glue and bend her forward. I then smooth out the line. No surgery scars for this girl. I put her on her side so that it has time to set. I let her rest this way. The next day I started adding flaps that will become her grass skirt. Every flap is glued on with slip so that no air bubbles are trapped. All done for now and back in the plastic bag to let this all firm up. Now this girl is ready to sleep too. Good night everyone, Wendy
