Mio
Mio is in a private collection.
Mio, Japanese for 'Beautiful Blossom' has been made from puppen fimo polymer clay, baked to the manufacturers specifications to ensure that she is correctly cured. She is painted with thin layers of Genisis Heat Set paints to achieve a realistic skin tone.
She is built over a sturdy wire armature.
Her inset eyes are brown and are hand painted and glossed for realism. Her hair is black, made of fine quality mohair wool, decorated with beads and flowers. Her kimono is pale pale pinks and white cherry blossom, edged with gold thread.
Mio stands beneath a blossoming cherry tree made of air dry clay and mixed media. She is removeable from her base.
In her standing position she measures approx 11 inches from her pointed toe to the the top of her head. The entire piece measures approx 18 inches from the bottom of the base to the tip of the highest branch.
