Mistwalker WIP

Im in the middle of dressing this piece ,but Im so proud of her so, far I had to share.
I'm sticking with a very classical style for her.Even her face is like a prim Victorian woman. Her head is about an inch in size and her eyes are like a sunlit misty day over clear waters. I used a slightly darker shade of aqua for the pupil instead of black. I want a wispy, light look for this piece. She will have a whiff of pastel blush and not much more paint than that.

The wire laurel she holds is because Ive fallen hard for the beautiful metallic lace jewelry of Edera!http://edera-faerie.blogspot.com

I cant hope to get the same look on such a tiny scale,but I wish with all my heart I could dress an entire figure in a gown of spider web silver, teensy baroque pearls and moonstone! Since the economy has dampened my supply splurges Ive begun to looooong for decadent luxury in my work even more as if this ole real life stuff cannot touch my fairy realms!
I think I will save up for something extra special where it will make a super impact.

Gypsy: nobody's child

Im so embarrassed I have so many projects going at once and waiting to be worked on! I even have a commission for a queen of night in the works.
I dont know what happened... I couldnt resist working on her right away! (((( on Etsy now)))))

This lil one wanted to be born now! She has gemstone earings and freehand writing across her forhead, Her hair is the softest pearl grey fur (naturaly shed) and in her gilded nitcho is a picture of a screaming monkey and a uncut crystal. both behind a tiny lense that can be removed.

My zombie fairy awaits the perfect base, Amulet is painted and is getting her dredlocks, my feral girl is slowly getting fur applied to her coat. The trypitch is coming along with its intricate details and in the meantime beads need finishing and I am testing body patterns for future leather soft bodys.

Its true,stars shine britest at midnite

I bet you never thought Id make a blog! Im pretty hermity and quiet,but here I am. I hope I dont bore you till you puke. I dont have cute sticky kids to show or a luxurious home and workshop filled to the rafters,but I do have a constant flow of ideas, dumb thoughts , heretical theories and demented works popping from the receses of my mind.
I thought Id post sculpting WIP's, new media ideas that can be applied to OOAk sculpture, ball joint wips since Im working on a head for Therese Olsen's Ilysande and also maybe introduce you to the many artists ranging far and wide across every genre that I love and who inpire me.

This year seems off to a good fresh start. Im officialy giving fee-bay the finger . It was a blessing while it lasted,but now... I dont need them. *rasberries* Etsy is an artist nurturing site I think. You dont see the whopping end price your peer got,you dont have sniping, watch numbers, you dont have feature plus made to ensure for $20 you get seen, then find your many pages deep!
If I can get used to having a store rather that the emotional rollercoaster that is an e-bay auction.
I already feel a muse fog lifting ... some things that have endlessly blocked and frustrated me eyes,bases, wings,smoothing,lint and magnification are now out of the way.

I want to add mixed media assemblage/shadowboxes which Ive always wanted to do,but never have found a good supplier for. I want to make more affordable items . Busts, beads and simpler figures so anybody can afford some of my work. Also Im interested in tiny critters that can go with my figures and also more animal hybrid figures. Youll see for sure more deep engraving dessimated skin my doves*bats lashes*

Of course ,this blog is new. No more website for me, a cutting of the fat for our finacial times:) More money for clay and goodies.
