My first standing fairy, OOAK sculpted figurative art doll

I finished my "G" fairy and will post photos of her tomorrow after I can take some of her in good, natural light. There's supposed to be plenty of that tomorrow here!

She finally got her jar...Wish Fairy is almost finished.

That said it all. She's almost finished, thanks to my daughter Mindy and her suggestion to go to Ikea for the perfect sized glass jar. What a huge store, and the prices aren't bad. I had searched everywhere to find the perfect size jar with smooth sides and wide mouth.
Tomorrow I'll tie up the loose ends and take some pictures of her. I'm anxious to start on the next one now that I'm satisfied with this one. I'm thinking I will try a standing fairy with the brass tube running down the wire armature into a base. I'm also thinking mermaid. Any suggestions?

Eve, The Leaf Fairy~OOAK sculpted art doll

She's little, she's a leaf fairy, so she can blend into her surroundings. I wonder if she sheds her wings in the Fall? I guess not, it's February and she still has them.
Click on the Eve link at the right to see more photos. Enjoy!

New Fairy Finished!

Tonight I finished my next sculpted fairy art doll. Her costuming turned out to be more complicated than I had originally planned, but she is so cute and I'm satisfied with her. Tomorrow I will take photos outside if it doesn't rain and post them here. I'm anxious to start on another, but I will have to condition a bunch of clay first because I ran out of the ready-to-go stuff. The little fairies like this newest one is small and doesn't take a lot of clay, but they are difficult just the same, since the details are smaller too.
Wondering whether to make the next one larger? I probably will.

Newest OOAK Fairy Art Doll, Dusk Fairy, Daphne

Remember that strange looking little sculpted thing? She's finished and you can see the photos of her here--look to your right and click on "Dusk Fairy~Daphne" to get to her new page.
Yes, I've got inklings of another dancing around in my head, but first I always put the new photos here, then in my Etsy shop, link to right.
I had bought that nice little base thinking I would put a night fairy up there, but hey, a dusk fairy works, and Daphne looks so happy on her perch. She belongs in the trees.


It just wouldn't be right to doom her to a flat, dull base.
Anyone with an "E" name suggestion leave it here. Also if you have a suggestion for a fairy or other fantasy art doll (that does not involve excessive nudity of course--I keep a very clean studio here.) I didn't say organized, I said clean. :)

And now, as the Ghost Hunters say, "On to the next..."

Current Fairy Sculpt. D Name?

Working on another sculpture. Why do I seem to choose the hard poses? I'm thinking next I'll just try one that is not so difficult. But--the challenge is fun!
This fairy will have a name beginning with "D". I haven't selected one yet, but as you can see she certainly isn't ready, I have a lot of work to go on her. She will be the dreamy one, lost in her thoughts. I'm planning to use the new Tibetan hair I have, but will have to dye it since it's white and I want her hair to be dark. We'll see how that goes!
Meanwhile, on to legs, feet, arms, and hands, and improvements here and there.
