Witchy Moon

Just finished a new ornament, Witchy Moon. I added combed yarn hair to her and I really like the look. (even though it was a pain .... lol)

Jester Moon ornament

Funny how you start out to create something one way and it ends up turning out completely different than what you had in mind. I have told people in the past that when I'm sculpting it's almost as if I step out of my body and am watching the process as an onlooker. I think this is when my muse has her way and she and the art just do whatever they want.

That's what happened with my newest ornament. It's so far from where I thought I'd go with it that I must have not only stepped out of my body, I left the room completely.

Blue Moon sculpture

I finally finished my "Blue Moon" sculpture. It's a little over 12" tall and it's the largest one I've done in polymer clay so far. The moon is polymer clay but the base is paperclay sculpted over a wood base I had laying around.




I painted the moon with my new airbrush. Well, it's not actually new new, my hubbahubby bought it for me about a year ago. I really didn't know how to use it but I finally pulled it off my shelf, mixed up my paints, plugged in the compressor and blew paint at watercolor paper until I felt comfortable using it. Wow, it was alot easier than I thought and I am now IN LOVE with my airbrush. All Hubbahubby had to say was, "It's about time." He was grinning a big grin so I know he was happy I finally used it.

My friend Sandy is going to love this. Sandy, I'm coming over to your house tomorrow to give you your sculpture and a big hug for all the help you've given us.

A Few WIP's

I've been working on several larger pieces over the last few weeks. It's been slow going, first I was sick for a week .... yuck. Then it rained, and rained, and rained and is still raining. We've had rain almost every day for 2 weeks. This weekend my hubbahubby and I are going on a tiger hunt in our backyard. In it's previous life my studio was once an attached garage. Before we bought the house it apparently had a fire in it and the previous owner apparently remodeled the house and he apparently didn't know what the hell he was doing because when it rains and rains and rains my "studio" leaks water under the walls and makes neat little rivers that head straight for the drain that, thankfully, the previous owner did not remove. I do not like working in my studio when it rains so I haul bits and pieces to my dining room and living room to work but, ugh, it ain't easy folks.

Here is my Blue Moon at it's painting stage. It's just too big to work on anywhere but my studio so I've had to put the painting on hold. My friend Sandy is chomping at the bit for me to get it done. Sorry Sandy, as soon as the sun decides to show his face again I'll finish your moon and get it over to you.



I've been wanting to do an owl for halloween but I can never seem to do anything "normal". My quirky sense of humor took over again .... lol. Yes, he is holding a piece of pie. Why? You'll have to wait till it's finished to know what's up with the pie.



I'm working on a scarecrow. Don't mind the tape, it's only temporary while I figure out what I want to do about his legs. Yea, I'm one of those fly by the seat of my pants artists. I get an idea and then dive into the sculpting while working it out in my head. Very rarely do I try to sketch out things first.



This is one of my "Weird ways we die" dolls. His head and hands are polymer clay but I'm going to finish his body in Paperclay. I guess it's okay to do that. If not, oh well, I'm doing it anyway! :)



Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my wip's. Feel free to leave me a comment, I love reading what you all have to say.

Blue Moon for my friend

A friend did a really nice and helpful thing for my family. She loves moons and suns so I'm making this "Blue Moon" sculpture for her. You can sorta see my aceo of the moon I did awhile back and that's what I'm using as a reference .... kinda. My hubby took the base to work to try and find a screw for me to use so I can attach the dowel to the base and then finish sculpting the base. Once that's done I'll paint it and then take it over to my friend. Sure hope she likes it.


It's sculpted in polymer clay and you can see that it's going to be a really nice size sculpture.
