How I created my little work of art

I like to sculpt. One day I wanted to make a magical creature. I thought a fairy would be a perfect one.
First I had to mix colors of clay to make her skin color. Next I sculpted her overall shape out of the green clay. I made her arms and legs and attached them to her body. Finally I made her head, added details, then attached that to her body.
My signature is a butterfly, which you can see is in her hair. The fairy is complete.
