I found your amazing work, it is inspiring. I was wondering if you had a resource for a large plastic or rubber egg I can use as a mold. when I was a child I loved the eggs you could look inside of, I am trying to sculpt something large, about the size of a persons torso, I am flexible. any ideas?
thanks!!

Good golly Dorothy... if you think my work is the best... you need to keep looking!
LOLOL!! Thanks so much sweetie... you brought a smile to my face today. As far as
tutorials... are you looking for something in particular? There are tutes all over
the internet. The polymer community is VERY sharing & wonderful.
I'd be happy to put up a tute on anything you'd like to see... as long as it's not
a new technique that someone is still making a living from of course. Let me know.

Also... are you suscribed to any polymer lists?
I use the yahoo group Polymer_Clay_People ... they're FANTASTIC for any help & advice
you might need on anything!
