One of a kind art dolls, fairies and fantasy sculpture by JoAnna Waite
I have been too busy to post but that's a good thing. My worktable has so many WIPs it looks kind of crazy!
Death from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comic books is very close to done. I will post a newer
photo of her. The little pixie in front will get her wings soon and fly off to eBay but I really want
to make Snape my priority and finish him up. You can see if he is still undressed.
The other WIPs are a very little Rapunzel that I will submit to Contermporary Doll Collector Magazine for the Fairy Tale round-up if I finish her in time, an Alice and White Queen and the Emcee from Cabaret as a Marionette. That should be a fun challenge, I've never made a marionette and LOVE Alan Cumming's Emcee. I've wanted to create a doll version for a while and I think it will be a natural as a marionette. That's for an Art Dolls Only quarterly challenge. Hopefully I can organize my time and meet the deadlines! Also, I am going to turn my attention to making Ball Jointed Doll making. So, lots of fun stuff in the works! :D
I've been posting a few pix and updates on Facebook of this little Steampunk Mermaid I am working on. I think she is really pretty cool. This was going to be a quickie little warm-up since I've been away from the clay for so long but it has taken on a life of i's own and become a bigger project. I am excited to be almost finihed with her. Check out the WIP pix on Facebook. I am also making some progress on Snape and will post more pix of him soon.
At this stage her head is not attached and actually I am not 100% sure if she will keep that head. I am checking the tail for size, do you think it's too big? It's not quite done but I think I like it!
I finished sculpting a new fairy. I think I have captured the serene, peace and beauty I was hoping to achieve in this sculpture. You can see more of her work-in-progess photos in this Flickr set for now. I will be taking more photos and adding her to the gallery soon. I just added her to the gallery :) She will be available on ebay later this week.
I was very inspired last night to make a very different little fairy. She's a little less, well...living and has a taste for brains ;) She will be done in time for Halloween.
With the new Drew Barrymore/Ellen Page movie "Whip It" in theaters I thought this would be a good time to finish up the Roller Derby Fairy WIP I have on the workbench. She should be done by the end of the week.
I am also working on new Steampunk Fairy with a cool base. The base is coming along, the fairy is only an armature right now. I will post some photos later in the week.
*UPDATE* Here's a sneak peak at Steampunk Fairy. Her Mecha Mushroom base is almost finished and she has a long way to go still!!
