Why so sour, Sour Girl
Anyone out there every been dressed up for a holiday by your parents and just hated it? Well so does sour girl. I went into this without a concrete idea for what I wanted to make. All I knew was that I wanted to make something with big black eyes but not necessarily sinister.

Step 1Alright heres a plastic ball, just an ordinary ornament that's outlived its usefulness. I drew a line with a sharpie so the eyes would be straight then drilled a hole for each eye.
-
Step 2I drill two small holes and use whats know as a deburrer to slowly increase its size because I want it to be a tight fight so no or less glue is required. You could always use an exacto blade and be extra careful.
-
Step 3Time to flesh it out with a little clay, this is your base where you build on your features, or you could just press in some details now for a simple face :)
-
Step 4I gave her plump little checks and a little scowl. Use a damp cloth or paintbrush to clean any clay off of the eyes because the grit in the clay may mess with the eyes shininess.
-
Step 5Here she is with paint.
-
Step 6Having much success with my Edgar Allan Poe dolls hair I decided to make hers in the same way. I started with the back of her head, then added the top and indented some parts. NOTE: indent not cut it will shrink a lot, also don't be frugal use a good amount and a tad on the thick side because it will tear and crack as it dries, thicker means it won't pull away so much. Don't be discouraged please experiment.

Step 7A nice "carroty" orange and brown will make a nice auburn color. Mostly orange and add brown until the desired depth in color is reached but feel free to use whatever color you like.
-
Step 8I painted a block of balsa, drilled arm and leg holes and glued in some wire.
-
Step 9I carved legs with an exacto blade and chose to leave them roughly hewn as opposed to sanding them smooth, just for a change of pace. The quarter is there for scaling
-
Step 10Here she is assembled but not finished, I want to add little antlers and a bell and make her base a little present. Merry Christmas everyone :)
Same length of bangs, tiny top pigtails, brown hair. I loooove it. I think this is how I imagine myself in my mind.
so i must smile of it. hey thanks for you xmas wishes , for you the same, hope you will upload more of your sweethearts;-D
