Lend your support for charity

As you all know Im currently going to Weightwatchers at the moment and so far Ive managed to lose 15lb, which Im really pleased with. During my weight loss so far I have been doing a lot of walking and Ive desided that Im going to do a walk for charity.

On 14th May 2011 at midnight UK time Im going to do a 10k walk for Sue Ryder. Here is a link to my fund raising page if you wish to show your support in my quest to raise funds for this charity. http://fundraising.suerydercare.org/penni-midnightwalk

Thank you in advance and apologies for this post no being DH related x

Update on Jane Dough

Thought I would give you all a laugh at my attempt of polymer clay again.

As you can see she still needs a lot of work to say the least. I'm finding its best to do small bits at a time as I have warm hands and  if I work on her for to long then she starts dis-forming and I think she looks dis-formed enough without any more help lol.

The plan is to have her sitting on the sofa watching TV or talking to someone. Looking at this picture though she looks rather boss eyed lol I think she has been sitting too close to the screen.

Keeping At It

Today I have been trying to work with polymer clay again, I managed to do this face but then over time whilst working on it I noticed its chin was disappearing and getting more and more narrow, I tried to rectify it but it just looked worse so ended up squishing it.

I'm not sure what order I should be working on first so now I'm having ago at the body not that I'm doing to well on that either at the moment. I find after a little while its soft enough to work with and then it becomes too soft and I end up undoing everything I have done so I guess you have to learn to judge when to put it down and let it cool down and firm back again for a little while.

Anyway here is my face before I smashed it lol

Wigging a Polymer Clay Doll

I'm going to try and do the polymer clay again over the next few days and I have bought some bits from fairytasia mainly hair eyes and an armature but I was wondering if anybody has any links to good youtube clips or tutorials of how to apply the hair.

I'm guessing it is added after baking but should I paint the doll first too or do I do that after wigging?

I haven't even thought about the body yet do I pad it out or do I do that with clay? Oh my there is a lot more to think about than I thought now I've started.
