So many questions about how she is made and what she is made of I thought to give you a couple of pics that may answer your questions:
The very first step was of course a drawing – long gone and altered many times.

Then she was wrapped with builders tape and covered with epoxy filler.

I had quite a few rejected plates that I broke into small pieces which I then decorated with enamels lustres etc. and fired.

The curve of the pieces mostly matched the curves of Croc so of course they were painted on the back of the plates.

The head and legs caused some consternation and experiments.  We started with glass but finally decided on heavy cardboard paper Mache.
