So, I get tons of questions on this type of thing. At some point I do plan on making a new unicorn tutorial that explains things start to finish. However, for now, here's a little one on baking. I did another little tutorial a while ago on hairing sculptures. Eventually I do hope to make a big long one.

Anyway, I'd like to mention that this is just how I do things. There are many ways to bake and mine is certainly not the only way. Just what I do, and what works for me currently :)

I also want to say that I paint my horses, so I can be a lot more flexible with baking. When making dolls or humans you have to be a lot more careful since the skin tone of the clay matters a lot. Dirt particles, cracks, dents, and discolouration can ruin dolls, but with painted sculptures they hardly matter.

As always, if you have questions please ask... I kind of threw this together randomly so I may have left things out. I have a FAQ section on my website where I talk a bit about materials and things, you might find it helpful as well! It's here: [link]

Thank you so much for all your help. You are making my first time much easier, and with less corrections. I'm not sure I got the right eyes, that site was really hard to navigate (I was using a tablet). There were no wires just flat backs. But all and all I am really happy with the results. Now she goes in the oven and I can't wait to continue!

Glad you liked it! I'm not sure whether Amanda makes eyes on wire, but I imagine there are ones you can get elsewhere. The ones I get are flat backed with no wire, makes it a little harder to insert them but they stay in once the eyelid is sculpted over. I'm curious to see photos of what you're working on!
