Little Princess

 

 A Little Princess it is! Doesn't she look adorable, with those tiny heart shapes? I think she does, and would suit any Little Girls bedroom :)

 

I made another one, with a little more heart shapes all around. Originally I left a bit of space on the bottom of the frame, to place there a bigger heart with a child's name on, but it is all gone now ;)

 

 

Hawe you seen any fairies lately?

One of my favourite creatures from my childhood are fairies. I always felt they exist and often had dreams about flying and meeting them...I still would love to do that! Well no fairies come to me yet,  so I made myself a fairy polymer clay pictures instead...I like how they turned out, especially the second one as is more delicate. I think I will keep one of them for my daughters' room as they keep complaining I am only making things for others;)...

An Angel picture - finish

I finally manage to finish my Angel picture, and today the picture happily wandered to the new owners. I hope they will like it as much as I do. I managed to take some photos of it to share with you.

I am quite happy with the final "look and feel" of it. Again it took me a while before I decided what

I would like to do with the background. I change my mind twice to finally came up with this one. I am not sure if it shows on the photos but colours match perfectly with each other. I was afraid it would turn to yellowish in the end but it didn't. I mixed some golden paint along with two shades of yellow and white paint, also I added some textures on flat stars as you can see on the close ups.

I also painted one of my Harlequin faces. The first two I made a year ago (you can check it here). I prepared them as magnets, but  this time I am going to do a picture perhaps.

An Angel picture part II.

Hello Everyone :) I am quite busy lately in my studio finishing my Angel picture and experimenting in a meantime. I did all the parts I needed, now just painting and gluing left. It looks interesting already, laying just on the ceramic tile. Don't you think? :)

I have some sort of a shadow frame for it, not sure if it will fit under the glass tho. I have to distress it all with gold and white paint. This should look lovely., at least I hope so....

In a meantime I almost finish my Harlequin face and made another one half way through. I need to take pictures of them. I just forgot again.

Here is another experiment I did yesterday while waiting for my angel's bits to bake:

I used parts from the cane I did earlier. Quite like the composition and contrast from this little red part on the edge of black base, but I am going to change it for blue, with distress. Also I am going to work on the base color, add another layer to both shell shapes maybe. Generally I treat it as a good start for something interesting here.

Obviously everyone could easily see I am under big influence of Ronna Sarvas Weltman at the moment. Personally I don't mind this as through centuries artists use to learn different techniques by coping the best artists they could find. I highly admire Ronna's work, I just hope I will be able to add my own dimention, and new touch to it in the "not so far away" future. I know it won't be easy but I like chalenges.

An Angel picture

I have some commissions I am working on at the moment, another three polymer clay doll's pictures. Hurray!
One of them is An Angel, golden-white with some additional polymer clay bits on the background. Here is a quick preview of the angel:

I still need to paint it, add the wings, and feet. Obviously I need to do the frame with the background as well to finish it off.

While I am working on the pictures I do some canes in a meantime, from my scraps. With those ones left after making the angel, I made a cane I am going to use with my next Harlequin face.

I have to remember to leave it for a while before reducing, to minimise distortions. How long do you usually wait? Do you leave it for a night or just for a few minutes/hours? Do you wait at all? I will happily learn from the experience of others if you want to share :))

Hope you had a wonderful an peaceful weekend!

a gift for a friend

It has been a while since I made those dollies, but I made a new one a few days ago for my colleague's daughter who is nine tomorrow. 

She is a lot bigger than the ones I made as a magnets, here you have a photo for comparison:

They actually look like a mum with her daughter, when standing together :)

The detail on her dress isn't what I was looking for in the first place but I think it turned out rather nice.

I am going to frame her. I went to the car boot market on Sunday morning and found a few treasures there to work on:

Now I need to prepare this one for a bigger doll, just need to get rid of the bird first....

I think this one for a smaller doll will be perfect, just need a coat of paint and some finishing

Well, go back to my table now, I need to finish one for tomorrow.
