Step by Step Framed Harpy Sculpture

I really enjoy working on my Framed Sculptures. I just love the thought of a picture that is 3D hanging on the wall. I wanted to keep this piece very simple, keeping the Harpy the main focal point of the piece by not adding alot of frills to her.

I started with the head, definitely my favorite part to sculpt.

After I get the head and face the way I want, I move on to the body. I usually sculpt the body in sections or layers, baking the piece between each layer. The arms and hands are normally the last part to be added.

Now to make her wings.I went with a gold and brown color.

Secure her in the frame and add her wings and horns. 

Now she ready to have details painted on. 

And she is all done and ready to be featured in my Gallery in the Dragon Con Art Show in September.

Keep checking my blog for updates on what pieces I will be bringing to the show.

Coin Operated Girl

Hey Everyone! Last Myxie before Dragon Con, which is in about two Weeks SO CLOSE!!! Really loved how this one turned out, that Red hair is what makes her so cute I think. She is attached to the little wooden block that TOOK FOREVER!!! I couldn’t get the letters the way I wanted…so I went with Shapes, and I think that actually fits her better :) I sculpted her with little joints (not real) and she has a wind-up key in her back, to give her the whole Toy theme. So what do ya think?

She is available on my Etsy Store http://www.etsy.com/listing/159504502/coin-operated-girl-wind-up-doll-myxie?ref=shop_home_feat So I still have alot to do but I'm getting ever closer to being ready for the Art show.

Thanks for reading. ~Caralyn

Keeping Balance

Finished my newest circus Myxie! This little one is balancing a star cover Ball on her foot, I know she makes it look easy but it’s not…at least not for me, I guess I’ll just have to stick to sculpting and leave the acrobatics to the Myxies :)

This Balancing Ball Circus Myxie is available at my Etsy Store!
