It's been awhile since I've added a tutorial, so I thought I'd post some photos of my cloth-over-clay technique:
Super Sculpey:
Pressmold dusted with cornstarch first for easier clay removal (or can spritz the mold with water)
Removed from mold
Face refined
Tacky glue
Apply knit fabric, pouncing into face with stiff, dry paintbrush
Don't stretch fabric, start at the center of the face and work outward
Use tool or fingernail to press cloth into face details to further define
Wrap fabric around to back, trim when glue has dried
Paint with gesso, buff with piece of brown paper grocery bag
Paint with skin tone acrylic paint
Stitch to head
