Avalon Preistess Angels sing!!!

Here she is in all her glory ,though I have to say her photos dont do her justice! Im so proud of myself for making this dress. ...Yes dont snicker you talented seamstresses! Im so intimidated by costume design,but naturaly I have an unatural love for expensive fabric and vintagey trims and lace so, what better excuse to buy it than to sew PreRaphealite and medieval gowns? I learned about the joy of interfacing and that I desperatly need cloth reserved scissors and that frey check could be my best friend.

I hope you approve of my fox. Its my first and hopefuly Ill get alot better at it. She does have eyes somewhere burried in shadow. Mi lady also has braids that cascade from her temples if you can see them. *grumbles* I get by with a little help from my friends!

Avalon almost finished

Avalon Priestess getting her hair do done. I really surprised myself with the gown. The bodice I had to size and sew over and over to get right.

I might add a simple sleeve panel over the white liene sleeve a plaid wrap with round pin stiched in place and possible a string of beads on the neck.

I tried to get plaid in there somewhere to convey the kilt which has its roots in celtic clothing. Id like to have had a bit of a tribal touch ,but I couldnt think of anything except the wode paint.

I could use some help if anyone has tips about soft body figures. Id like to switch to sculpting a breast plate and hands and making a type of soft body that has a solidish form. Not slouchy.

too late! I done been mooned er..that is tagged

Horror of horrors I have to try to find 6 things that arnt totally boring about me! Sue http://bartonoriginals.blogspot.com/Ill get your for this some day!

1. Im addicted to gummies. Worms,bears and sour dinosaurs. I can eat an entire bag in one sitting.

2. I listen to alot of old time radio programs . The Edgar Bergan show,Suspence and x- minus one are some of my favorites. I even sing old commertial jingles before my time on account of it.

3. As a child I wanted to grow up to be a mermaid. And used to stay in the pool as long as possible hoping to grow gills..... Artist is almost as good.

4. Id like to learn to sing "Rapture" by Blondie in japanese

5. Ive carved avadaco seeds, sealing wax, twigs and antler. Ive never gone more than a week without making something with my hands. so, if I get in a bind I use whatevers around. Dont stand in one spot too long if you visit.

6. innagodanavida now baby!

So , you read through all that?! Here's your reward. Updated piccie of my pretty zombie fairy. I switched out one of her blue eyes for an orange one. Creepier yes?

Nita goes ugly early

Well here is a difficult little zombie character who has been insisting she get made just now. Never mind more important peices these aperitions decide who gets worked on when. Ive even been woken at 3am to sculpt some strange and usualy non sales freindly peice!

This is a bit of scrap clay.. quite filthy and manhandled.Thing is I keep trying to make her cuter. As a zombie girl should be huggable right?That right eye keeps wanting to wander like it has a mind of its own.

Beads

Here are some 2" hollow lozenge beads some finished some not. I managed to sell 4 on the bottom row before I got them listed on esty. So, now I should get on making some more.

These are alot more relaxing than sculpting a full figure. I mix clay colors at random and put them through the pasta machine layered for sheets that that look torn up and something like strata.

Then after those are cured I can add a face or some such element sculpted on top. I also just recently started adding gem chips into the clay too. It adds a subtle texture change from the opaque clays.
