Little Blossoms in Red, by Leslie Molen

To make the finely detailed heads of her intricate elves, she pours the heads in Clay-Shay (available at AVES) which she covers with cloth. Leslie then makes a mold of the cloth covered clay head with Knead-a-Mold.“I appreciate that the Knead-a- Mold picks up such fine detail that I can still cover the head in fabric and that detail still shows through!” she says.

Mold of original clay head with Knead-a-Mold, silicone putty.

These “Heads in a row” show from original, molded, and the finished product.
