This was harder then I thought. Its is a small sculpt and I have sausage fingers. I did use a wooden tool at some point. I forgot I wasnt supposed to do that. My arms on my armature were too short so I changed the position of the elbow and made up the difference in the hands with clay. This was soft clay. I think when I do another sculpt I'm going to use medium clay as Handling it made changes I didnt want.

What gauge wire are you using for the 6" gesture pieces? I know you used 14 gauge for the 12". Did you use 14 gauge for the 6" armatures as well?
