Masquerade! Polymer Faces on Parade!

EKKKK! I FINIALLY finished the Masquerade Myxie I’ve been working on and I’m sooo Pleased with how she turned out. From her Top Hat and Masquerade mask to her Glitter filled bustier, I am LOVING this one. Even though she didn’t come out exactly the way I imagined, which they never do, She still is my favorite Myxie this year. I was originally going for Victorian Show girl and she came out more like Lady Gaga’s Fairy sidekick…but heck that works for me. So I hope you all like her, I plan to have her displayed in the Dragon Con Art Show Gallery so make sure to stop by and check her out.

Thanks for reading!

Tip my Hat

Steadily working on some brand new polymer clay sculptures for Dragon Con this year. I have a few Photos to show you all today. One of the pieces I’m really excited about is a Masquerade themed Myxie complete with Mask, Feathers, Glitter all that jazz. I spent all week figuring out what I wanted to do with the Mask and then putting it all together. Then last night I worked on a top hat to go with the Masquerade Myxie and two more hats that go with Myxies that aren’t quite ready to blog about. Incidentally, I love sculpting polymer clay hats…Perhaps my next project should be a certain Hatter whom is quite Mad Hmmmmm? :D

Thanks for reading, keep checking my blog for updates on what I'm up to.

It’s Just So FABULOUS!

Helllllo Friends!
So I totally got this fun idea for a picture I am working on…Okay really it’s kinda cheesy but I think it will be totally fun because it makes me feel like I’m back in elementary school doing arts and crafts. Those were the good ol’ days. Okay so the picture I have I did on about a 20x24 white board. It is of a dragon, just like the head and upper torso of the dragon. I was bored and sketching one day and I wound up drawing a pretty good looking dragon so I redrew (or attempted to) on the white board, but I had to make him larger to fit on it. He still looked pretty good but now that it wasn’t a 4X7 sketch on notebook paper…the dragon seemed to need more detail…he was detailess I tell you! Anyhoo So I was thinking of ways I could color him to give him more depth and nothing seemed to be doing it for me. So I shoved him to the side for a few days, like an outcast…how tragic. Then while rummaging through some art supplies I got from a friend, I found the coolest craft tool of all time. GLITTER! Yeah Baby, glitter is the bomb. So my splendiferous idea was I would color him, not with markers or paint but with GLITTER! Now I know what you are thinking…It’s gonna look like it belongs in a Las Vegas show but I promise I won’t make it that flashy. Next I plan to make a diorama with a shoebox..just kidding :P

Well back to art class. :)
