Tiny fairy

I've been trying to decide how to dress this little fairy, I think I'm going to go with the season and use silk leaves in fall colors.  I made a vest of very thin Premier Clay.
I picked up a great tip at NIADA.  Dianne Effner gave a short demo on making shoes from Hearty Clay and she said she uses Matte Dura-Lar between the foot and the sole of the shoe.  I hadn't heard of this product, so I googled it.  It's an archival, polyester mylar film.  It comes in pads or individual sheets and in different thicknesses.  I picked up a couple sheets at Dick Blick.  I have found it has many uses...it's great for making pattern pieces because it's waterproof and doesn't curl up. It's a great surface to roll your clay out on and peel it off, and it's reusable.
I made a pattern for the fairy's vest and shoes from the Dura-Lar, placed it on top of a very thin piece of clay and cut around the pattern.  It left a nice clean edge, and a very smooth surface, take a look at the photo.

I'm finally getting all my craft supplies unpacked, after a move in 2009, I discovered I still had a few bottles of Hannie Sarris paints, made me a little sad to think I had corresponded with her  just a few years back and she had sent me her special paints. She was only 57 when she passed away in 2010, much too young.  I still like to visit her website,http://www.hanniesarris.nl/page.php?lang=en.
I used one of Hannie's favorite colors called "Sun Kissed" to paint the body.  Next I'll paint the vest and make a tiny skirt from my silk leaves.
