This is my latest work, Figaro. He as his own pop-up puppet which was hand made and sculpted by me with Paperclay. I had so much fun making them and I am so excited about the way they turned out, that I don't want to sell them. But I really need to as I haven't had anything on ebay since early summer. Sigh! I hate when that happens! Anyway, hope you like his pictures.

Oh Tami! Your work is amazing...I just love your doll! Paper Clay is great isn't it!! It isn't the easiest medium to work with, but the results are spectacular.

I love that bear and his puppet soooo much!
You did a brilliant work on them.

Maybe you should keep them or give them to someone you love... So you could see them again!

Beary hugs,

Thank you all for the nice comments. It really means a lot coming from other artists.

Nancy, I do love Paperclay. Have you posted any pictures of your dolls?

Sandi, Figaro is made with an extra dense Schulte mohair I ordered from Edinburgh. I hope to get more, but I didn't see it on their website the last time I checked.
