clay doll preliminaries

I received a gift of paper clay from Abi Monroe and I am now very intimidated by the process of making the doll head, facial features and everything for my project pumpkin doll.I am now in the phase of collecting data, researching  my subject and taking pictures of my ideas for this project.Here are a few links I already visited and enjoyed.

As this is my first time using paper clay I created the armature from aluminium foil and added to a mini pumpkin I had around the house.

The challenge now is not dressing up the pumpkin but creating the girl/doll face.I am really intimidated by sculpting.
