Tragic Ending Theme

Here's a small piece I just made for the Tragic Ending Challenge.

It is Ariel, the Little Mermaid, turning to foam.

I always thought it was such a sad story (Hans Christian A, not Disney version)

so naturally

it was the first thing that came to mind for this challenge.

Here is the first step

I sculpted and painted the face

Then onto sculpting the "water" and "foam"

Last is painting and giving wet effect to waves and foam

I hope you can see the bubbles

and the tears in her eyes.

I have one more really simple piece I'm working on for this week

so I will be back to post this weekend.

Completed!!Dia de los Muertos and Marionette Challenge!

Here they are ready for the show!

This one of a kind little puppet master is 7.75 inches tall from the bottom of her boots to the top of her handmade lace head piece that is covered in flowers, pom poms and crystals.

Her hair is fine english viscose.

The paper theater is made in an old fashioned style with 3D paper panels and is 4.5 inches tall.

It has been laser printed onto heavy card stock and shaded with acrylic washes.

The skelly doll is strung with red thread and can be moved.

The paper mask is also laser printed onto heavy card stock and decorated with paper flowers and silk ribbon.

She will be listed on etsy this Sunday.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

WIP-Dia de los Muertos and Marionette part 2

***Please excuse the horrible quality photos, they are taken with a phone,

I STILL need to get a new camera***

Here's the rest of the WIP's from the weekend. I will be posting the completed doll on Thursday and most likely be putting her on Etsy this weekend. Visit me again and as always

let me know what you think.

Alice in Wonderland at Last! (95% complete)

I am honored to present my Alice in Wonderland

Like I always say, I apologize for the quality, I am a poor photographer but I try

(picture 2 and 5 enlarge, the rest don't want to cooperate)

I usually don't take or show pictures of my commission work because some of my collectors prefer their pieces to be private.

Except for this one, YAY!. A close friend asked that I not post it until today so it can remain a surprise. Here's a quick lookie-loo at my Alice. She is 95% complete, just needs her hair done and a hat of her own(she borrowed this one from another sculpted girl). That will be finished and handed over tonight. Alice is almost 10 inches tall and a full sculpt except for the elbows and shoulders so that she can gently pose her arms. I was told she will be holding a little pig in a blanket so I sculpted the hands in a pose that will allow for that.

I had a great time putting together all of the bits and pieces to make her special. I love, love details! I could have easily gotten carried away with this one, where talkin' furniture, pottery, scenery, the works! Luckily the request was for just the doll.

Anyway, back to work!! I have a gift to make for a friend and then some show pieces to start on.

Bye for now,

Rosanna
