Roll two large marble-sized
pieces of white gumpaste.

Using any kind of available
lace mold, create a piece
of lace for the collar.
This can be part of a piece
of lace mold as shown.
Glue it around the top of
the skirt.

Gently tuck the arms under
the lace collar and use
sugar glue to adhere them
in place.

Insert the head into the
body.

Use two tiny pieces of
flesh-coloured paste to
form the hands.
Glue into place and
make sure they are in a
position to ‘hold’ the music
manuscript.

Press and roll along
one end to form a cone
shape. Insert the end of a
paintbrush into the larger
end of the cone. This will
form the arms.

Dip the blunt end of a
toothpick into some black
gel colour to carefully mark
the eyes.
Dab the toothpick on
a paper towel, before
marking, to remove excess
black colour.

Use the leaf veining tool to
make three creases in the
curve of the arm.

Colour some gumpaste
with the Autumn Leaf gel
colour.
Mix some vegetable fat into
the paste until it forms the
consistency of chewinggum. Use a medium sized
grass disc in a clay gun for
the hair.
