Finished zsea Goblins

-

As promised, here are a few of the finished sea goblins.  After the sculpting and baking process, they are then painted with a light bit of paint to accent the lips and then stained to bring out the shadows.  This little guy seems so sad.  Not all of my pictures turned out so, I am just showing off three today.


In addition to the stain I used a bit of blue iridescent paint to give this little guy some added sparkle.  


This little guy seems the most happy even though he isn't quite fitting in his shell as he had hoped.  I think it is all those soft shell crabs he likes to indulge in.  Hope you enjoy them.  I am going to make two more as that is all the shells I have left in the small size.  I have been eyeing some large conch shells that a friend gave me years ago.  They would make awesome homes for some larger goblins.  I shall see how I feel about it later this week.  I still have a few other works in the process so until next time.

OK , without further ado here is my entry for the ADO Art Dolls Only challenge The Elements . Please go visit the ADO blog to see some of the great entries for this challenge. Introducing for the first time anywhere, the Mergoblin . He is the first of his kind to grace my blog and studio. Several of his relatives are planning a visit real soon. He is a polymer clay one of a kind sculpt. He has a recycled head that was made for an earlier project. The eyes are fresh water pearls that have been dyed. His tail is made from a type of willow tree. I know the photography isn't spectacular but, I wanted to get him up on the blog in time. Here is a closer view of his head area. This is the other side view. He is mounted on a wooden base suspended by a wire inserted into a brass tube. I painted the brass tube blue to match the stand. This was a fun challenge that got me to think outside my usual box. Hope you enjoy him.

You aren't seeing things.  I have posted this piece before.  But, this time is different.  I wanted to celebrate two things in my little life.  First is hitting 140 followers here on this blog.  I am so honored by the loyal friends who come and visit me and my art goings on.  Thank you for that support and encouragement.  Secondly, a good friend and artist I know really inspired me with her own unique spiritual perspectives on giving.  So, MarZel this is to honor your wonderful contribution to my world as well. The above piece is only about 6x8 inches in size.  But, it's spirit is mighty.  At least to me it is.  The intention while creating it was to honor the trees that are constantly sacrificed sometimes without thought or honor for humankind.  In many cases without a thought, just discarded because they are in our way.  The trees are our guardians, give us food, shelter, many things we use i...
