I'm Just a Tease!

-

I suppose I should explain that title. Below are some teaser pictures of one of the many projects I am working on. This guy is the last of the recycled goblin bead projects. His head is the last one finally. I made this a challenge for myself this summer. He is part of the ever growing species of earth goblins that are magically talented. He is an earth wizard or at least that is what he hopes to become. Below you can see the armature I created before I layer the clay. He stands about 8 inches high.


Here you can see him after his skin has been applied and the legs and arms sculpted. There is also a texture applied to the skin and then it is baked. I will now begin the multi step painting process. This is one of the most rewarding steps for me as I love to bring these characters to life through paint and color. He will most likely be accessorized and mounted on a custom base. I will post pictures of the finished result when that happens.


It has been a busy summer for me and I have tons of projects in various stages of completion. It is time to put the pedal to the medal and get them finished.

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...
