Mermaids / clay

In one of my earlier posts, I mentioned a clay mermaid that I sculpted. Unfortunately, her nose was terrible, so I had to remodel a bit on her face. the nose was a bit of clay stuck on, and the rest of the face was terribly flat. She had no chin, no cheeks, and the ugly nose was HUGE. Stupidly, though, I let the nose dry on her face before I was bothered enough to consider remodeling, so it was difficult to re-do it. What I did was: I  snapped off the old nose with my fingers, managing to re-wet the clay enough to start carving identifiable features out of her horrifically blank face. In short, the new result is much more satisfactory than the old. And here are some pictures of all the results of my toil!
