posable fairy art doll sculptures - Polymer Clay

My usual fairy art doll is a sculpture that cannot move its arms or legs but I have been testing out different ways to make poseable art dolls.
Made a few that have sculpted hands, feet, body and head over a wire armature. The wire is covered with yarn or cloth and is bendable. I really love having the ability to change the pose of the doll. Not really meant to be played with but with an occasional position change the wire should last a long time.

Today I tried out a different version, more of a movable sculpt rather than posable. This kind has arms and legs attached at one point with a wire going through the body. Hmmm, maybe that doesn't describe it very well, but you can see where they are attached in the picture below...
