Grown up you might ask, well the story goes that the wolf died and she lived to grow up right? So here she is, with a silver frame ready for the eye pin and a chain.<\/p>\n<p>Okay so the truth is the hood just showed up by itself and I colored it red. I use photos or pictures as my guides, but I don&#8217;t sketch out my work ahead of time. I just dive right in and begin and correct as I go letting the piece create itself.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I like working with polymer clay as a base and my pen and ink technique, I can easily correct most lines and sometimes colors. I do most of the black work first and add color at the end, then reapply black here and there.<\/p>\n<p>I probably would benefit from more planning including sketching the ideas in my head instead of just making notes, but then I&#8217;m not so sure how things like the red hood would ever happen. But it&#8217;s something to consider.<\/p>\n<p>International Polymer Clay Association&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Polymergence<\/em> editor\u00a0Suzanne Ivester wrote a wonderful article in this month&#8217;s newsletter entitled <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theipca.org\/index.php\/news-mainmenu-58\/polymergence-mainmenu-57\" target=\"_blank\">All About Sketching<\/a>! <\/em>It&#8217;s an interesting read, you&#8217;ll enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/catw.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2850\" title=\"Cat polymer clay, pen and ink\" src=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/catw.jpg\" alt=\"Cat polymer clay, pen and ink\" width=\"324\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/catw.jpg 324w, http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/catw-268x300.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This cat just called to me, no explanations, no excuses.
