Experimenting with scale

My work to date has dealt with full scale human bodies and limbs, so to expand my projects and experiment I have begun making a smaller sized body. I started with using a large plastic bottle for the shape of the body which i covered in nylon tights and stuffed, I then made arms using the same technique used for the nylon people project. I originally wanted to make the arms extremely enlarged however, although still slightly big for the body, they are more proportionate that I had intended. I will add a head to this piece using the technique from stitched heads.
