The First Princess artist statement: I picked this as one of my objects because it's the first thing I ever made with polymer clay when I was about 9. It's called The First Princess because it's a sculpture of a princess and the first one I ever made. To take the picture I took a big sheet of white poster paper and taped it to a chair to create a backdrop. Then I added a small mirror on the side to reflect light back towards it and balance out the shadow a bit.
