Fairy Tale Princess

My new Fairy Tale Princess is a 9" figure sculpted from Porcelain Puppen Fimo with arms and legs that are slightly poseable.  Her bodice is sculpted from translucent fimo with gold leaf and she is dressed in hand dyed silk gauze and silk ribbons.  I just happened to have some mohair that matched her costume and I placed a handmade beaded piece on her head to set it off. Her wings are mixed media inspired by a class I took with that fabulous Jean Bernard.  She sits on a wood base decorated with brass findings and beautiful iridescent beads.  Another monochromatic costume........what can I say...it is what I do; and this fairy was definitely inspired by the golden mermaid.

  

 

New Halloween Pumpkinhead

Don't have a name for this fellow yet, except Pumpkinhead....He was suppose to be 5" and instead ended up being 6"; as I have said before, these little fellows have a mind of their own.  I sculpted him from Creative paper clay and painted him with acrylics.  His cap is made from heavy paper and decorated with string and decorative trim and then sprinkled with a little glitter, of course, and painted.  He has a black crepe paper collar and the lantern is made from honeycomb crepe paper.  The mushrooms were sculpted from apoxie clay.  I am thinking of starting a series with this piece....maybe a series called the "Mushroom Forest"....I love mushrooms...we shall see.
