Steampunk Mermaid WIP

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!

So much time, so little to do.

Scratch that, reverse...

It's been a while. I have been so busy working with no time for sculpting and fairies and dollmaking. Now, I think I am about to have some extra time and I feel like I want to do everything all at once to make up for lost time.

I have sketches I was eager to sculpt, unfinished pieces to complete, new ideas I can't wait to try. Where to start?? I may revisit the unfinished work, pieces I loved and was commited to but had to be packed away for The Move. I am definitely inspired to start new work but I hate to leave those in limbo.

Maybe I will change my mind when I get everything set up, we'll see. For now I am excited as I organize my skethes and reference materials.

New Fairy WIP

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.
