Watchers

All this week I have been struggling to find the time to update here.

I cannot wait until the casting season ends! I have expanded my sculpting skills to felting, and shifting my sculpting media from polymer clay to various air-drying clays. I tend to sculpt on a larger scale that most polymer clay easily allows. I still need to fix up poor baby Winter, but I really do not like Lumina. :( He was originally sculpted with Premo pearl, but he is too big to fit in any conventional oven, now. :doh: Paper clay, and Premier stone clay will not do...(simply not compatible). I am thinking possibly CP? (cold porcelain) I found a microwavable recipe online, but I am open to any suggestions.

I have experimented with crayolas "model magic" because I had originally liked the texture. The trouble is, that it is not really intended for artistic use by professionals, let alone experienced sculptors. "Too bad, because it really has a soft velvet feel even after it has dried out completely." I tried to use it on my "FattCatts" but it cracks badly if the material is too thick. (I have been patching one I was planning to give to my mom for Mothers day, all week!) :shakefish: Maybe I still have a chance to finish it in time....

Felting has turned out to easier, and faster than I had originally expected. I made a model of my recently passed "Furkid" cat Zoe. I managed to get her done in two Saturdays. I found a great short-cut by filling the larger cavities with polyfil stuffing. It actually makes the 'feltie' more "huggable" and allows me to work on a larger scale. The Zoe plush is about 6 inches in length and about 4 inches high; not bad for use of sample sized wool roving. I still have plenty left over! ^_^

Although I enjoy casting doll eyes, and irises for the world, (quite literally) I am getting tired of it! I really miss working on my own art. Breaking my production down into seasons has helped, But I still need to maintain inventory for my shop, year-round. :phew: The income is welcome, But I would much rather focus on selling my OOAK art instead.

I am waiting on my new digital camera to arrive, so I can get all sorts of Photos of these new projects. Hopefully it comes soon!

:waves: Bye, bye, for now! :D

I am a fantasy artist, and gift-maker.

Art is my Love, and my therapy. I cannot exist without expressing myself in this way. The gift of being able to paint imagery from my creative psyche is a gift I treasure eternally.
The whimsical world of fantasy has great appeal to me. Those are the works I enjoy the most to create. However, I will not ignore realism, and utility. I am willing to accommodate most any clients needs, when it comes to commissions. I strive at working to my very best of my ability, to create happiness, and wonder. I am always open to trying something new.

I newly have developed skills in designing, and creating artificial eyes for doll makers, crafters, sculptors, as well as for costume, and special effects.

Interests:
Fantasy Art, Equine Art, Eye Making for BJD, Art dolls, and sculpture. Pyrography, Dragons, Ornaments, Gift, and Treasure boxes, One-Of-A-Kind Arts and creations.

Skills and Techniques:
Mural painting, wood burning, watercolor, oil, acrylic, pen and ink, pastels, pencil, both colored and leaded. In addition, I am skilled in scratch art, and general crafts, glass painting, floral arranging, and sculpture. I am best at animal realism, landscapes, seascapes, and interpretations of sky and clouds. I also enjoy fantasy art. People really love my Dragons.
