My first show and tell fairy :)

Here is my very first show and tell fairy. She doesn't have a name yet, but she will when she's finished. She is on the miniature side of sculpting very small! as you can see her armature is posed ( I do this when I start them, but they do tend to change personality as I go, and the armature at times will become a completely different pose by the end :) So we'll just have to see where this one goes. Her head has been baked and cured in the oven, I've just placed a small amount of unbaked clay on her body area to get me started in mapping her out. Generally I begin with the head ( in my opinion the head is what brings shape to all the other body parts...keeps me in line with proportions and gives her the start to her personality and what pose she may have later).
once I finish the head, I start on the body as you see I'm slowly doing here, the legs will come next, once the legs are completed, I will add extra clay to the already baked parts where there might need to be more muscle tone, and such. I always sculpt my arms and hands last. I've found if I sculpt the arms first the sculpt will fall over constantly while I'm working, and the legs give me more of an idea of how her pose will be.
She is being sculpted from prosculpt polymer clay and she has an 18g wire armature skeleton which I am building her upon :)
This is her so far...I'll be working a bit more on her this evening...so there should be some new photos in the morning :)
