I had fun dyeing fabric and playing with Paverpol and now she is dressed and waiting for embellishment. I'll use some Apoxie and beads for that I think, and maybe some natural materials.....we'll see what she demands!
Now she has her gold paint and texturizing medium, plus a little black shading which doesn't show in the picture, but makes a big difference in real life. Now she'll get a bit more paint colors here and there, a little sanding, and some Paverpol draping. Plus wings, eventually! (They may take awhile)
This is my work in progress from Jean Bernard's online class. The head is sculpted from Jean's "Mother" mask mold, and the body is sculpted from Apoxie Sculpt clay. It sits on a wooden candlestick embellished with more apoxie and will be painted gold and further embellished with texturizing medium and draperies soaked in Paverpol. Way too much fun! Jean is a delightful, generous teacher and her classes are always intriguing. I work WAY out of my box learning her techniques!
Now there's something in this post Katie! *smile* I had to learn how to post photos.....again. This is the cover of a journal for a new round robin I'm involved in with 7 friends. We each made a head and torso of a doll, or some semblance thereof and will send it off with the journal to the others to add to and embellish to their hearts content. It's always fun to see what comes home again at the end!
I am a mother of three, grandmother of four. I've been involved in the arts for 30 years and still learning! I hope that will always be the case! I love trying new things as you will see if you read this blog. So much to do, so little time...........
