12 Roll a small amount of black

into a pointed shoe shape, glue to

the front of the dress where the

front leg sits and paint with metallic

black paint.

15 Roll two rice sized pieces of

white paste and insert into the eye

sockets. Add a small piece of black

to the inside of the mouth, add a

thin sausage of white for the teeth

and divide the teeth with a scalpel.

11 Divide a small ball of paste into

two, and roll into teardrop shapes.

Flatten slightly and add to the back

of the figure for her bottom. Make

sure you don't put this too low.

17 Roll some black paste big

enough to wrap around the body

for the dress. Meet and trim at the

back then shape around the body.

MODELLING MASTERCLASS

13 Follow the instructions on the

mould to create the face. Cut the

mouth with a scalpel and open with

a Dresden tool – I have used the

left-hand face.

14 Press in and up with a boning

tool to help your face smile.

18 Grab hold of the top of the arm

securely and bend the arm down.

Bend elbows at 4cm using pliers.

19 Decorate the dress with

sparkles of your choice. I've used

stick on diamanté as the figure isn't

edible. Add a necklace.

21 Cover about 2cm just above and

below the hand to make the glass

stem, roll a long cone and thread it

on top. Flatten a small ball of paste

and stick to the bottom of the

glass. Paint with gold paint and dot

white bubbles onto the glass.

16 Use metallic paints to dot the iris

and pupils in the eyes. Roll very thin

pieces of black paste for the eyelashes

and eyebrows, paint the mouth with

a red metallic paint and dust face and

cheeks with dusting powder.

20 Cut 5cm of florist wire and

clamp into the hand hook.
