marionettes

i made two new marionettes. they aren't quite finished.

their bodies sculpey, with movable joints. the gray one is pretty much done.
the peach one now has a lovely yellow velvet corset and purple lace ruff around her little neck.

sketch clipping

part of an ink and gouache little drawing, 8" x 9"

sneak peaks

here is some things i am working on:

from my sketchbook-

hands! this is their state a week or two ago, i still havent 100% figured out how i'm going to use them
and some kids! this was fun. i think there might be tiny tiny puppets involved by the end!

her little shoes, cute, no?

the collection

this piece was constructed from an old display case thing i have had since i was little.
the oil painting is sunk into the boxes (thanks woodshop guys!) so that it is flush with the rest.
the birds and various other bits are made with sculpey.
there is everything from lace and buttons to knobs and jewels in the boxes.
approximately 23" x 26"

the poem reads:

chloe keeps her best things
in neat, fancy rows.
but it's hard to find friends
who don't mind the crows.

the birds are perched on driftwood collected at the beach by my lovely mother.

and finally, buttons!

blind

blind
sculpey, acrylic paint, lace, cloth, doll hair and a feather, seated on driftwood.
about 10" x 7"

i took a shirt from a little doll. her eyes are glass beads.

tiny fingers, with wire inside.

vanity

vanity
oil paint, sculpey, resin, cloth, bits and pieces of other things on multiple pieces of wood
in a handmade frame
16" x 13"

detail - one hand is sculpey, the other is painted inside the "mirror".

here you can see the weird angles that happen from the side-

the perspective only works from straight on

lone crow

another shot of the single crow. this was the first one i made.
it is made of sculpey, wire, and a piece of wood.
7" x 10"

i probably should retake this photo...i don't really like it.
