Hi Everyone,
I have been Reborning and now decided I needed a new challenge. I am now busy sculpting a Baby Head, when I have completed it I would like to smooth it before baking.
Please can you give me some help with smoothing as I have no idea how to go about it.

For small areas and creases, I use Vaseline. For smoothing overall, I dip my hand in water and apply pressure with my palm, sort of rubbing the clay back and forth until it's as smooth as I like.
