Last of the small ones...

-


Today's offerings are the last of the small sea goblins. I have run out of shells. The only shells I have left are large conch shells and that will be for a much larger scale project for later in the summer. I have so many ideas and projects started that it is hard to focus. Anyhoo, here are the latest of the sea goblin clan. The first guy here is in a nautilus or sea snail shell. He has made himself quite comfortable. He is made of Polymer clay and has hematite eyes.


Here is another view of him. I liked how these pictures turned out. Who would have thought an old bath towel would make a good background.


This guy is quite small. Approximately 2-1/2 inches tall. He is contemplating his place in the universe and is feeling a bit overwhelmed. His eyes are glass beads and he is polymer clay as well. He sitting inside a small weathered shell I found on the beach in Myrtle Beach SC. That seems like an eternity now. You never know when you might use that odd bit of something that you question keeping. I hope you enjoy these guys. Hopefully they will make their way to Etsy soon.

Hi Cody
I've enjoyed looking at these - one question/suggestion - have you tried the Sculpy dilutent at all - I noticed on the sculpt pics there were some little bits of rough (hard to smooth out such tiny creatures) I'd never used the dilutent before I did a class earlier in the year with Bobbi Oliver - used sparingly it helps to clean up those little bits. I don't know how you sculpt something so small - you must be very patient!

Thanks for the advise on the diluent. I have some of that and will give it a try. You would think I am nuts if you knew realized I am legally blind and do these.

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...
