How I sculpted the face for my poseable Gnome art doll from Super Sculpey polymer clay. Using Sculpey Ultralight on the armature. When baking thicker pieces of polymer clay like on the face I bake for roughly an hour to make sure it's cured all the way through. Use an oven thermometer to check the temperature stays steady. #fairytribe I have the gnome template available in my Etsy shop as a digital download: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/90128...
