Melody has arrived with her flower flute. She is an 8" full body sculpt from Puppen Fimo with the exception of her arms which can be posed. She is dressed in dyed lace and silk gauze with hand painted glass eyes and dyed tibetan wool for her hair. Her flute is also sculpted from Puppen Fimo and painted. The base has copper colored mosaic glass tiles and leaves and mushrooms sculpted from Apoxie Clay. Her wings are mixed media and really glow and shine. This tiny fae will fly to E-bay tonight.
The Steampunk Father Time is now finished and resting on E-bay. This figure is 12"with a strong wire armature, soft torso and sculpted hands, feet and head from Puppen Fimo. I dressed him in hand dyed silk velvet and antique lace. Using all the watch parts was really a challenge but loads of fun. His base was painted and crackled to give it a warm patina and I placed an image of a sun dial on the base that says : "Grow Old Along With Me The Best Is Yet To Be"
What is Steam Punk?? A very brief description would be.."a style that refers to a time when steam power was used". But, instead of trying to explain it any further just google "Steam Punk" and you will be pleasantly surprised at all the wonderful creations.
I am making an attempt to incorporate this style into my new Father Time. I have some watch parts that I am trying to use in a creative way. Here are some preview pictures.
