I started by modeling the face. Modeling is relatively new for me and I find the face to be the hardest. If the face doesn't work, the piece is n
ot happening!

Painting the face is next. Petal dusts and lemon juice work best on modeling chocolate The face was allowed to dry for a couple of days prior to painting. A small skewer was inserted into the neck to allow for attachment to the body later.

For standing figures, I like to use a wire armature for stability. The armatures are made from 17 gauge or, although it is difficult to handle, 14 gauge wire.
-
-
Aluminum foil is used to flesh out the armature in the thicker places.
-
-
I started by wrapping the wire and foil with floral tape, but discovered that electrical tape works better in the areas where foil is applied.

Modeling chocolate is a bit tricky to use because it becomes greasy and too soft if over worked. The key is to back away for a few minutes and let it cool off.

I forgot to show the completion of the head, adding the hair.

-
I prefer to start with the torso.

Then add the head and arms....

...and the legs....

Two leg...

The swim suit and hair ribbons are made from gum paste.
