Umbrella..Ella..Ella..Ella
Finally finished the newest piece I’ve been working diligently on, Steampunk Myxie number two. She turned out pretty well, even though not entirely the way I had envisioned but good never the less. The steampunk Myxie, that I have yet to think of a suitable name for, took me a little while to complete due to all her details and accessories. I experienced a lot of firsts with this piece as far as my sculpting comfort zone goes. She is now equipped with tiny sculpted polymer clay keys, gears, a clock and…Drum Roll Please…an umbrella. The umbrella was a bit of a challenge but I was quite impressed with myself after I pulled it off. The hardest part was definitely the top part, it was so difficult to get the fabric to sit the right way, but I eventually got it. I can’t wait to post Photos of the finished Steampunk Myxie for you all, I sent her to my Photographer today so I’ll post them as soon as she’s done. But until then I’ve posted a few little Photos I took of her umbrella and wings. What do you think? :)
Thanks for reading. Keep checking my blog for updates on my newest pieces.

Again with the Spectrum!
Just Submitted a few pieces to Spectrum Art Books. http://www.spectrumfantasticart.com/books.php?id=567
I really hope they accept me this year. I sent some good pieces I think but the dealine came up so quickly I really didn’t have time to prepare. The first two years I submitted a piece specially done for the book, this year I didn’t have enough time. Though the submissions are some of my newest and best pieces in my opinion…I still wish I had had time to do something just for the Book. But even if they accept me I still plan to submit a piece every year I can so there is still time to do “special” works.
This year is going to be the year of stocking my inventory, I let it get too empty last year so I’m building it up and I have SO many great ideas. I have already started on my newest Myxies and, not to toot my own horn, but I am out doing myself. My sculptures have more details in their clothes and bodies. I am trying to go outside my safe zone and create things for them I didn’t even think of before. I really hope you all like them because I have been working extra hard to make them just right. Hopefully I will have Photos for you soon, I can’t wait until they are all finished.
