Each new project is another lesson learned.  I appreciate the challenges this ornament project brought; they pushed me far beyond my comfort zone.  I learned I can work under the pressure of unexpected deadlines, though I need to be more efficient with my time.  I need to hone my skills for sculpting teeny faces.  Practicing on 3 inches of clay is not the same as a 3/4 inch ball.  Same goes for teeny hands &mdash; ow.  Magnifying glasses are required.  And smoothing?  Egads, polymer clay is fussy!</p>
<p>Still, I hope her new owner enjoys her.</p>
