"Evangeline Times Everything" Whimsical Wall Figure

8. For the socks add a small coil of clay just below the knees for the sock trim. Draw vertical lines in both socks to create a pattern with the needle tool (figure C).

9. Form the torso and the neck by carving away or adding clay as needed (figure D).

10. For the arms coil a piece of clay until it is approximately 8 inches long and about half the thickness of the upper legs. Cut the coil in half to make two arms.

11. Add as much detail as possible around the elbows and forearms.

12. Attach the arms to the figurine by using the scoring method and slip (figure E).

13. Add details to the arm and form the fingers with a needle tool (figure F).

14. To make the dress use a rolling pin to roll out a slab of clay until it is about 1/4-inch thick and big enough to fit over the surface of the figurine. Lay the slab over the figurine and cut away any excess clay. Once the fit has been established press the clay into the figurine lightly around to the sides and back of the figurine.

15. Add trim to the dress by hand rolling clay coils and placing them on the bottom of the dress, around the arm sleeves and the waist by scoring the clay and using slip to attach (figure G).

16. Sculpt the head by using an oval shaped piece of clay and smoothing out the edges. Add a handmade coil to form the clock face (figure H) and the clock legs and attach them (figure I).
