So I've never baked my babies with certain parts already baked like this one has a baked head. I've never done this. how do you keep the head from burning when you go to bake the body?

[madebytrudi]

Cover the already baked parts with a cloth if you are concerned with burning or it getting darker. Often darker baked places can get painted over. However, I've not tried this as of yet since I am still a very novice sculptor!

@strawberryme08

I often pre-bake parts of my sculptures. The key is baking at a much lower temp, I usually bake them at around 180 degrees while adding more time. Sometimes I simply bake them to a point of just beginning to harden and pull them out.

Also, a heat gun has been an extremely valuable tool for hardening parts once I achieve a level of detail. Although it can be an expensive tool also.

Have fun! :-)

The smaller you go in sculpting the harder it gets.

[ladypinay1988]

Hi You are very talented! Im doing a art project where i will make a baby in the mothers womb and I want to put the baby in some sort of liquid maybe Hair Gel will that be okay or will the baby go soft and break apart?

[rckrchck]

You could try two part casting resin in clear, I use easy cast brand for clear mini drinks.

[saintolafian]

You've been added as a favorite! Awesome job and very generous! Thank you!

[idreamofbaby]

beautiful I hope to be able to sculpt and reborn dolls and babies soon. Just a matter of coming up with the money to buy the suplies it can get quite expencive hehehe but I'm sure you know that :)

[wonderwoman27229]

You really have talent.

I have a block of flesh-colored clay I have been staring out for weeks. I am so afraid of trying and messing it up. But I do want to make babies and fairies so bad.

[xgangdopplerx]

Don't be afraid of messing up. The wonderful thing about polymer clay is, until you bake it you're always one step away from a complete do-over :)

[oilpainting1]

very nice and clean job hope to see more from you
