[@sophiarose03]

This is SO ADORABLE!!! I just love the circa 1990s family photos.😂 Next time you use polymer clay, try warming it up in your hands and kneading it for 2 to 5 minutes until it’s really soft, that should get rid of a lot of the problems you seemed to have at the beginning of the project, and it makes it so much easier to smooth.

If you wanted to do more clay in the future I would reccomend getting a pasta roller and some clay softener so you can more easily condition the clay. Plus use it to smooth out lumps with a brush. Make sure to bake for an hour to get as much strength as possible with some tin foil covering it. And for that sized project I would probably have added armature to both sides of his ears for added strength. Overall really great job!
