STUDIO OF BONNIE JONES

Halloween Pumpkin Head Artist

Say "Hello" to my Pumpkin Head Artist as she finishes painting the bust of a child.

The Artist is a 9" figure completely sculpted from an air dry clay over a strong wire armature, painted with acrylics and sealed with a matte varnish. Her eyes are handmade by me and she holds a real paint brush. She sits on the base with the brass rod and tube method so she can be removed for shipping. The child's bust is sculpted from paper clay and sits on a wooden candle stick which can be removed from the base.

The base is wood covered with paper clay and apoxie clay,painted with acrylics and measures 4.5" X 2.5". The entire piece is 10" high.  This sweet Artist has been sold....

 

Flash Flood

Flash flood in my home town today...and here are the results in our back yard.

This is our back yard without water.

 
This is a picture taken from the doorway of my studio. That is my husband under the umbrella.

 

 

 
The Water is now up to the second step to my studio.

 

 
At least ankle deep in the screened in patio.

Father Christmas and The Raven Queen

Father Christmas and the Raven Queen can both be found for sale on Spooky Time Jingles

Father Christmas is a 12" figure with a soft body and arms that can be posed.  His face is sculpted from puppen fimo polymer clay with glass eyes and beautiful lamb's wool for his beard and hair.  I gave him a gown of raw silk and a coat from a piece of antique fabric.  His cap is from a recycled sweater trimmed with antique tinsel as are his sleeves, and his gloves are green felt.  The bottle brush tree is decorated with antique miniature glass balls and  german glass glitter and old fashioned mica and is attached to a wooden block. A lamb and key are hanging from his belt.  He is permanently attached to a wooden base that has been crackled and antiqued.  As with all of my creations, he is one of a kind, OOAK. Father Christmas has been sold.

 

 

 

The Raven Queen is a 9" full body sculpt figure of puppen fimo. The entire piece measures 12" in height.  I dressed her in black silk gauze and an antique black handkerchief. Her top is mulberry paper painted blue and she has a wired silk ribbon around her waist.   She has black mohair for hair with a head dress made of real black feathers decorated with silk flower petals and black German Glass Glitter and matching wings. Her mask is painted on her face. She holds a staff with an amber stone for light with a raven on top.  The Queen stands on a handmade mosaic base with the rod and tube method so she can be removed for safe shipping
