What do you use the cellophane for?

@AnimeFanGirl24 to keep the clay from sticking to the wrong parts. :3

I remember a few months ago I watched your tutorial, went and got super-hyped, bought the clay and glue gun, etc, and then let myself get completely stumped at the drawing portion of the procedure. Well, not today! I've got a drawing to work from, the tools, the time, and (possibly) the talent. Time to man up and make a doll.

@anne123480 You should just jump in! You don't become skilled enough without practice!

You can do it. :D

This is great! I was wondering however, this thing with the cardboard, does it work with polymerclay as well? I mean since the polymer needs to be baked...
