I let them put their faces on as early as possible cause I don’t know what they want to wear until I know what they look like
I’ve been getting a lot of emails about process & armatures. I am seriously thinking of starting to write a post every now & then because if people are interested I want to help. I use wire as an armature - different gauges for different body parts. These ones have cones for the bottom half because they are tree toppers. Then I sculpt them out of my pulp/clay -
details of making clay/pulp here .Anyway if you click on the photo to enlarge you can see the difference in texture between their faces -already sanded & painted with a first coat - & their bodies - left unsanded as they will be gessoed & covered with the paper that will be their clothes. Also you can see the beginnings of their hands which are a PAIN to make

What fabulous hands! Like Laetitia, I’m so glad to witness a stage of your process before completion. I’m very curious as to how people work and this is just my cup of tea. Please keep posting about your process
Hope you got the cards, by the way. If not, they should be with you really soon.
