As I mentioned in my previous post, I started this piece ages ago. I've reworked the crow a little, and have made a totally new rider, and it is finally finished! It's been a nightmare trying to take some decent pictures of it as its not the easiest piece to photograph. Click on the photo below to see more pictures of the finished piece 
I started making a fairy riding a crow quite some time ago - but I kept stopping and starting because I just didn't feel he was right for the piece. Anyway, after sitting on my shelf for ages gathering dust and almost being thrown in the bin, he has finally shown me who he wants to be.... He is almost done - just the base to make as he won't be sitting on the green ball when he is finished. Click on the photo below to see his work in progress photos. 
I've been terrible at not updating recently but have made quite alot of progress on a few pieces, the first of which is Maisy. I've totally redone her hair with some really nice brown wenslydale wool, and sculpted her arms and legs from polymer clay. She has a soft fabric body that has been stuffed with polly pellets and cotton wadding so she is nice and cuddly while also being quite posable. I love her grumpy little face! Not sure is she is asleep or just refusing to look at anyone... She is pretty much done, but I am planning on making her a small teddy bear. Click on the photo to see her work in progress pictures.  Well the piece that I was commisioned to make has now been recived by the recipient - it was a portrait piece of Alan Merrill from the rock band The Arrows ( who had the hit song 'I love Rock 'N' Roll' many years back... ). It was commisioned as a gift for him from a long time friend of his. Its currently being shown on his Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000178151636&sk=wall and so far all the comments about it are positive so I'm really pleased :) Click on the photo below to see more pictures of the finished piece.

As the title says, my blog has been abit quiet during the past month - I am still here, I just haven't been feeling much like sculpting over the past few weeks after some recent family developments.
I have been working on a new piece - it's a commision (and my first attempt at a portrait) - I'm not allowed to show any photos yet - and probably won't be able to until next month. I really hope that the recipient will be pleased with it! I should however have a few photos to show very soon of Maisy - just a little more work to do and then she will be done. |
