HippocampusSculpt64

Up for sale! $300 shipping NOT included :D
It is on Etsy! [link]

One-Of-A-Kind Polymer Clay sculpture. 11"(inches)long, by 8"(inches)tall, by 9"(inches)wide. (with base)

The Hippocampus can be removed from the base, to be held, and for ease of shipment.

I really enjoyed creating this sculpt. The folklore of this creature has always captivated me. My intention with this piece, and my other sculptures is to be experienced in 3 dimensions, to feel the detail, not just to marvel at it. All the textures, and reflections of light are to be animated by the movement in-hand, as light refracts off of it.

The mane, and tail are silky and soft, the body is smooth, and shiny, the scales are slightly rough to the touch, and the fins are crinkly. The 'Spectral' eyes shine, like a fire from within.
The seashells compliment the sculpt with a riot of different textures, The starfish is a real, preserved animal, after which it has died of natural causes. The Sand is rough, but sparkles as light bounces off of each individual grain. Respectively, the frosted sea glass only suggests a subtle flash of light and color, and is like velvet when you run your fingers over it.
Even the wood base has the look and feel of sun-aged driftwood, with an added hidden shimmer of sea green beneath the crackled paint. It compliments perfectly the shades of sea glass buried within the sand.

I can only hope that the lucky owner of this piece will enjoy, and treasure it as much as I did, while I worked upon it, and will continue to do so for many years to come!

Eyes, and Casting News...

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 18, 2009, 8:05 AM
My Blog | My Website | My Email


The Holiday season is descending upon me once again, like a Hurricane...I never seem to get everything done as I originally had planned. This year is no different.

:new: NEWS :new:

I will be having some ' Pocket Drakes ' becoming available soon enough. They are between 3 inches, and 4 inches in size. I will cast many so they are affordable to the rest of us. However, each one will be individually painted and will be unique. I will sign, date, and number each one. "They are so cute!" :aww:

I cast my first sample out of permastone.(a type of plaster of paris from Activa) It was experimental. I am awaiting a shipment of Silicone Rubber, so I can mold up the other three Drakes to complete the collection. I am still on the fence whether I want to cast the molds in resin or in stone. The stone allows for more detail refining, but is more fragile. The resin will be lighter, and more durable...It is a tough call.

Because of many requests for color charts on all my eye designs, I will be putting together a color chart for each of my Lines. The Art Doll Line is complete, and I will post them here. I will also include the price points per diameter size of each pair as well. Any person who visits my account here, can order from me directly. I also have a few e-shops where you can purchase ship-ready eyes and irises, from me as well as some of my other arts. :flame:I do not use E-bay!:flame: I guess I am a bit of a rogue in that respect.

:bulletpurple: These are my Links: :bulletpurple:

[link] (the most likely place to order eyes from me)
[link] (I sell my eyes here too)
[link] (the least likely place to buy my eyes)

My personal website is: [link] (this site is always in progress of updating, and where I list everything that I have sold, or made, or designed.)

My public Blog is: :star: [link] :star:
This link is important, because all my info and announcements will be posted there if you want to get the 'Jump' before the general public has become aware of my happenings. This journal is only secondary.

I have two emails. But This is the one linked to my paypal account:
:bulletblue: amanda@dreamingtreestudio.com :bulletblue:
Please use it to complete any transactions done here.

Okies! :wave:
I will most likely keep this Journal page up throughout the holiday season, or maybe even longer depending on what I am up to. Anything New will be announced in my Blog.

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.
