Picture 6 of 23 from Tutorial: Beloved Tombstone

First off, I wanted her to be a very small woman. So, her scale is more like the size of a 14-year-old girl. I thought that would look more feminine and the stone could be smaller-sized.

Take your small dress and place on the stone to see how your pose will look. For mine, I had her resting her head on her right hand and her left arm was hanging down over the stone (like she was sleeping).

For her left arm, measure the sleeve from the shoulder to the wrist to see how long her arm needs to be. Cut out a section of chicken wire to that length. Then roll up and hold together with some wire. For the upper part of her arm, cut out another section of chicken wire and roll that around the top part of her arm. Hold together and give shape by wrapping mesh drywall tape around it. Bend the arm at her elbow to your desired position.
