To create the angel, cut of 2 portions and another 2 portions of FIMO soft in sahara. This will be the body and the head of the doll. You also need two small pieces for the arms of your angel.

From the previously prepared pieces of FIMO soft, form a ball, press it against the working surface and form the head of the doll. For the body, roll out the other piece of FIMO soft sahara and form a drop. Press it to the head and press it tightly with your fingers to the working surface and to the head. Now form two sausages from the smaller pieces - these are the arms.

When your angel is ready, form two holes for the eyes with the help of the modeling tools.

Now mix FIMO soft in white and FIMO effect in metallic gold in equal proportions. From the resulting shade, tear off small pieces of different sizes and roll them into small threads. To create an imitation of a curly hair, take a piece the FIMO, hold it by one end and twist the other end with your fingers so, the FIMO curls and resembles a lock of hair.

Use the acrylic roller or a clay machine to roll out 2 portions of FIMO soft white into a very thin sheet. Fold the FIMO soft sheet a few times to create the structure of the dress. Cut off the excess with a cutter only on the part that will stick near the head.

Press the dress with a modeling tool to the body of the angel.

Use the acrylic roller or a clay machine to roll out the FIMO soft white into a very thin sheet. Form a narrow tape with a knife or blade. Wrap the arms, formed in Step 2, in this white layer. Cut off the tip at an angle and apply it to the angel. Use a needle to make small veins and grooves to simulate folds in the fabric.

Transfer the curls of hair to the head of the doll using a scapula-shaped modeling tool. Place the longest and largest curls at the very bottom of the head and move to the top using smaller curls. Gently press them to the head.
