Wish List #8 continues on one project at a time. Some projects require a re-do and a re-do and here's what's happening.

The I Dream of Jeanne statue needed to have her bottle nearby in an appropriate size. So here are the steps to making the tiny bottle and what happened at the end.

I just took some clay and made sure there were no air pockets in it.

Then I made this shape and let it sit overnight to firm up.

The next day I started adding clay to build it into the right shape.

From this point on it's add clay and carve.

Even something this small is hard to make so I want credit for it.

All done and very small.

Taking this photo showed me that somehow I had not made the bottle topper the right shape. Comparing the small bottle, the drawing and what I had made was an eye opener. I will make the topper again. This is the third time.

With a flash.

Back to work! Wendy
