Another award thingy!

Ok Iam honored,but Im going to have to ask that be the last yall! I have much work to do this year. Thanks for showing me the love ^-^

Spritehttp://spritebites-brokenplanet.blogspot.com/ gave me this Proximity award. This one has a really nice message I think.

The description of this award is as follows.
This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!”and so I give pass this award to 8 other bloggers, friends...and ask that they do the same....

Lemme see 5 addictions yawns ..how about 5 of my biggest influences right now? or you could call it the gnawing muses insistant whispers.

1.

Brothers Quay. I am going to attempt antique German or French style leather bodies soon . Im starting to like the odd some would say ugly proportions of these bodies and the patina of the old waxy leather. I think there is intruiging tension in them

2. Queen Annie's Ive always loved them,but just discovered reproductions of them in blogdom and something about thier squirrely eyes,cracked complextions and lush costumes is insta love for me!Someday gotta make at least one!

3. Felting fibers. It helps me to dream up completely non related images. Im considering sculpting Rusualka again because I saw a most beautiful peice of mossy green mohair on etsy! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22399705

For some reason I just love the symbolic feel of using milk fiber!

4. Anything folk art retablo, shrine shaped or featuring santos(saints) or creche figures.

5.metailic thread ,knitting,tatting or knotting whichevers simplest!This is insane I know ,but since metalic lace trim is expensive and not small scale enough to please me. Im reasearching making my own. I prolly should pay the man the 20 dollars!

Arinhrod wip's etc

Here's my commission in progress. Night queen Arinhrod. Her name means "silver wheel" refering to the stars.

She is further along that this. I always take pictures to reveal assemetry and flaws. Ill be busy on her April ,but Im also furing a coat for a feral girl for Etsy. That takes alot of patience if you dont want the fur to look mangey! And Im almost out of crafters pick aeeeh! Then I have continueing work on my tryptich. With a tiny automata girl curled inside. Im really excited to see her finished. Im in the middle of moving my workshop from its cramped ,dark little hallway to a spare room once my husbands guy room/den. Lookd into disks of old wip piccies today and of my old work areas, Im always so jealous yet intrugued seeing other peoples workspaces! So many goodies and tools, bolts of cloth like that princess and the pea story and dolls laying about. I dont have much to see but, parts and peices of accidents. my desk is childs bedroom vanity without a mirror. Someday Id like to refurbish it and paint some nature scenes on the front of the drawers. but its not comfortable to sit at long so Im guilty of sculpting while checking email! Which I read at ADO invites ...dust! Ptah save us!

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)))))
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6215741
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.

The lilest thing

I know I havent been talkative. Im a bit withdrawn, overwhelmed and depressed these last weeks. This will cycle around and Ill be back to myself soon Im sure.

I hope none of you are waiting for me to post beads or sculpture on etsy. Etsy doesnt except paypal for seller fees and my CC is overdrawn and it will take a while before I can get it back to health. So be patient with me. I still want to begin a peice for the ADO challange Shakespeare! But I dont know if Ill have time. A bust of Ophelia I think because I adore Waterhouse and Milias

Ive been working on this elf head version of Briar. The head is done and the cleaned up hands are done too and Ill be sending those out right away to get cast. I think shes even better as a fae girl. Elf ear Briar is slated to debut in Dolls magazine too:D

Ive been juggling! I finished my sexy godess commission Emma. Check my deviant art page to see several high res images of her.

This heres my Tryptich in progress. Coming along well and Im excited to see it develop. Same theme as the previous one and it'll probably be encrusted with ornament by the time Im finished. Its 8" instead of 4" so , Il include a doll inside and will have the two side flaps. Somehow it reminds me of the big door to Moria in lord of the rings. I used Durland's wax medium with ocher pastel for antiquing the paper. It gives it a nice texturel.
