What Am I Doing?

I'm asking myself that question a lot today!
I've never really "carved" green florist's styrofoam before...
but now I know why it is suggested that you wear a mask
and have a vacuum cleaner close-by... Ha!

After transferring my BJD pattern to the foam blocks,
I began cutting away to shape the body core 
using a small serrated knife... what a mess!
I am using styrofoam balls for the head core 
as well as the shoulder and hip core joints.
There will also be joints at the forearms, hands,
knees and feet...  theoretically!
Next step... begin to apply paper clay 
over the core body parts.

  1. You might have had a time with it -- but it came out beautifully. I've never used the green stuff - have enough trouble with the white!
