Wips...

Absent-minded moon




Where Did I..?

Now where did I put that star ?
I saw her sparkle and glimmer from afar.
Then tucked her in safely on starlight at dawn
or was it moonbeams that I placed her on?
It might have been in stardust,very near to twilight
But still far enough from midnight !

Hi Flora~
I know that I was sending my Under the Sea, doll by the very last second.
But, I have to say, I was so busy working, and the best part, was getting my son into college. That was allot of work. But, I did it!

I want very much, for you to see my "doll". So please, go see her.
It would mean so much to me.
ooo~amy~

Flora said...

Amy, Congratulations on your son entering college and your sweet Rowan making her First Communion!!!
Your mermaid is just sooooo beautiful!!!I think everything about her is just perfect!!

Flora,
You are so kind to show how to's. It really helps me see the magic you create. Moon man is wonderfully luminescent. The red and white make him Pop.
Ah to create with clay... maybe someday.
Hugs,Pea

Il Girasogno said...

Flora I thought it was already beautiful but your moon is spectacular! Can I ask you something? achieved when the base uses the epoxy resin to hold the position?
I love your work

Il Girasogno said...

ops my comment is gone? l Your moon is fantastic! I can make you a question? use epoxy to hold the installation of your creatures when put into the base?

Unknown said...

I love when you show stages and share how to's makes me inspired to keep trying new techniques ...Thank you...

Smiles,
Sonia ;)

Moon is handsome I must say.

Debrina said...

found you through a blog that is currently participating in a collaboration that Seth from the Altered Page set up on the 16th ...
I've just recently got back into art dolls. My two little paper clay wire armatures are currently sitting in my hotwater cupboard drying out...
You've just given me the courage to continue on with them - as I haven't used paper clay before. I like how you then superimpose the clay with sculpy (is that what you have done?).
Great work. Added you to my list of Blogs I love...

Flora said...

Debrina, WELCOME, I'm So glad you found me!!! I love your atc's, did you draw the lovely blue nude, simply gorgeous!!! the only clay I use is airdry . so all you see here is air dry, different kinds, because I like to experiment!!! Many thanks for the add!!!
