WIP Saturday

-


Well, I think I have finally gotten out of my slump.  I took a few ideas from the little napkin sketches I did the other day.  Thought I'd see if I could actually bring them to life.  So, here is the rabbit head I made inspired by the sketch.  Not exactly as I had drawn it but, at least I did one.  I like the first head.  I didn't even have the sketch handy for reference.  Laziness got the best of me and I didn't want to hunt for it.  So, this guy is polymer clay over a foil and wire armature.  It's a technique I will be teaching in March for the Waynesville group.  They wanted to have me teach them my goblin head or character sculpting technique.  So, this is a front view of the baked head.



This is a side shot of the head.  I plan on making a wire armature for the body and do a wrapped body using a batting and cloth wrapping technique.  Once I get the body the way I want it, I cover it with fuzzy fibers.  He will also have sculpted hands/paws and feet.  I need to go buy some batting to use.  I am all out at the moment.



This is the beginning of the pickle goblin.  I have made the armature as you see here.  Then covered him in polymer clay and he is now baking as I type this.  This was a fun sculpt very much a character style.  You'll see in the next post.  Well, that's it for today.  I can't believe I was able to post twice in two days.  Have a great weekend everyone.

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...
