I know at first site it looks like these projects are all aimed at doll lovers. The same sculpture techniques for doll hands, heads and feet will work for all kinds of miniature sculptures. Need a Christmas angel? Most of them have bare feet. Want a peasant for your Christmas village? Make your own from polymer clay. I know some of you are sculpting pilots and cowboys, the techniques are the same, only the sizes are different.

If you practise some of these sculpture techniques, think of the cast of characters who can populate your garden railroad. You can create caricatures of club members, what fun! Just remember to post pictures in the forum so we can all admire your work.
