Helena was created completely by hand.  No molds were used during her creation, and no molds were taken from her after her creation. She is therefore completely One of a Kind (OOAK), never to be duplicated.

Helena was sculpted using Prosculpt polymer clay.  She started life as a sturdy wire skeleton, and once sculpted, baked according to manufacturers specifications to ensure proper strength and durability.  Special attention was paid to her smallest details, including tiny finger and toenails.

Her white inset eyes were hand painted, using heat set oil paints, and glazed for a realistic effect.  Areas of her face and body were also blushed using heat set oil paints.   Her hair is auburn Tibetan Mohair, added lock by lock and swept to the side.    Her little outfit is made of translucent clay, sculpted onto her petite little body, and shaded with heat set oil.  It was also glossed for a shine. 

Her wings are made of wire and angelina film, which are heat set and very durable.  Helena measures approximately 3 inches to the top of her head, and 4 inches from fingers to toes.  She is tiny!!  I hope you like her!
