The old witch survived!

Well, I am happy to say that the old witch survived.  I just took her out of the convection oven that I use to bake my figures now and she is in very good shape.  I had removed her working dress before baking her and cooked her on 225 F for 10 minutes – just long enough to set the clay her hair was rooted into.  She came back out in perfect shape.

At the same time I fired the old witch I did the first firing on the other figure, getting it ready for more detailed clay work to be done on it.  Now the figure is pre-baked and ready  to have the layers of clay that will transform it into a figure applied.
