~*Little Gnat*~

  

    I adore making miniatures... this is my best, although I wasn't able to get the "Perfect" photo... despite the fabulous lens, tripod, and perfect outdoor lighting.  I need to invest in some specialty equipment methinks.  This little one measures only 1/3'' long.  sculpted in polymer with a needle and tiny brush. She is going up for auction tonight on ebay.. so check back later and click on my ebay link to see more pictures.

 

~*New works*~.......

A few new items for this week...... My Satyr  is finished as of this evening, and up for a three day auction on ebay.  The old  rotting tree in the center of my yard provided the perfect craggy backdrop for a would be goat girl!  It is a different style from my usual work.. kind of "ugly cute".. but sometimes it is fun to take a break from the norm.  Another fun tidbit.... her horns are fossilized sharks teeth that were found on the banks of the Patapsco River.  In her position she sits 3'' tall.  Second project in progress is the Lost boys tree house, made of paper mache.  It is to be an elaborate depiction of the memorable scene from Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, where hook drops the poison into Peter's medicine.  More to follow in the coming weeks.

Works in Progress... May

Hi everyone! i don't know about anyone else, but May is such a magical time for me.......it is getting harder and harder to stay indoors and sculpt, when I have this wonderful view of the woods from my studio window.
Just a few works in progress this week...... Shrinking Alice will be an expo piece. She is only 4'' tall, and still needs a few various details, bottle stopper, drink me tag, base touch ups, and in the background will be a creeping cheshire cat~ furred.

Another just for fun project, a grumpy little satyr girl.. It started by playing around with a lump of clay, no idea in mind really, just wanted to make an ugly face! I never even planned on firing it, but she ended up being kind of cute, and I could see she would make a fun little piece. The horns are fossilized sharks teeth that I picked up while fossil hunting along the potomac river. They have so many fantastic uses! She will be getting posable furry satyr legs and tail. Arms also posable minus the fur. There is this little story running about in my head, but will share that upon completion.

I have two other WIP's in the works... I will share pictures in the next week or two.....

Thanks for looking, Faerie Blessings,

Hello All......
