She's all dressed up but has no place to go. Had to restart the face a couple of times but pretty happy with the result. No cake planned for this.

Thanks, Goreti.  I've been working on that stupid shoe today and that's what I did, mixed gum paste (used Nicholas Lodge's recipe) with homemade mmf.  It worked fine for the shoe.  I'll give it a try for modeling.

I mix some homemade mmf with the Wilton gumpaste.  What I now try to do is do it in stages.  So I started waited until the dress was fully dried before I did the arm and then the head was last.  I used to want to get it done asap.  Not good.  It would still be soft and get all messed up.

The few attempts I've made were dismal failures.  I tried modeling chocolate and it gets too soft and greasy, fondant seems to be too soft and gum paste drys out and gets crackly too fast.  What do you use for modeling, Goreti?

Thanks Betty but that "sweet little face" probably took me as long to do as the rest.  Such a struggle for me.  I get really frustrated.

Well, I can procrastinate a little longer because I have the sole and heel hardened for my first shoe.  I want to finish it first....big cheesy grin :o)

Thank you June, Sandra & Gail.  Sandra, come on.  For you it will be a piece of cake.  It actually didn't take too long to make.  I did do it in stages. I'm finally learning to be a little patient.  It makes a big difference.
