Panels and clay doll in progress

Trying out a new technique using printmaking and glazing adding depth.
I bought these lovely little 3" x 4" wood panel with a 1 1/2 " thickness.
Just love'em!

The little doll created in paperclay. I'm planning to use one of the panels for my little clay doll.
 Not to sure how she will develop; but enjoying where it's leading;-)
