My modeling clay gymnast is complete.

Adding the hair to the base figure ended up being a lot easier than I thought. Although I thought for sure at one point, the head was going to break off. Thankfully, that didn't happen.

By contrast, the leotard ended up being pretty challenging. Not impossible, or even difficult, necessarily, but I kept worrying about little details like one sleeve being thicker than the other, or that she might be showing too much hip on this side, etc.

All in all, I think it turned out okay. Again, I kind of wish I had more white clay to work with, if only to make more detailed hands and feet, and maybe attempt some approximation of a face. But all in all, I'm kind of proud of how this one turned out.

, this is also giving me the inspiration and motivation to possibly make other figurines.

The beginning of my latest sculpting project. Made using Crayola mold magic.

So far, I have the main body. I'm hoping to add some hair, and a leotard in order to make it a proper gymnast sculpture.

Not going to lie, I feel kind of ripped off. The variety pack I bought the other day came with one really large glob of red, one large glob of blue, and four teeny tiny globs of yellow, green, black, and white.

I hope this figure turns out okay. I feel like I could have added more detail if I had more clay to work with. In particular, I could have given it a face, maybe some more detailed hands and feet, etc.

I'm also not thrilled with the fact that the abdomen is as long as it is, but it's too late to fix now.

I'll probably give my final verdict of mold magic when I finished everything, but for now, I'd say it's okay.
