Finally!!

I finally got the Etsy site redone and the widget on the blog! I don't know why this is so painful! Hopefully, I'll get used to it!

Misfit Fairies

Here's the little guy who broke his head off. I wrapped him in a piece of crinkled gold silk. There's a brass tip with an attached loop. Pretty cute!


This is the start of the Fairy Godmother and Fairy Godfather. They'll both have nice fluffy dresses. I always wanted to do a fairy in drag! I seriously have to take some time out to revamp my Etsy site. Seriously! I don't know what's keeping me.

Dream Fairy Numero Dos

 After struggling with the beeswax (it was stickier and thicker than the paraffin) I got this one finished. It sure smells nice! I suppose I should work on my etsy site.

The Perfect Chair!!

I've been wanting a good chair for my worktable. I like being up higher, partly because I'm tall-ish and partly just because I like it. I thought a barstool would work, so I've been keeping my eyes open for one. I found this one today at a thrift store. It's solid pine, very sturdy and heavy. It's just the right height and was only 8 bucks!!! The room is coming together bit by bit.

Third Imp's the Charm!

I had a couple disasters with the poor little imp. The first one, the one in the previous photos, fell and broke his head off! (oh, no!) I made another one in a dark-ish brown, but when I baked him, his nose got a bit burned! (oh, no!) This is the third one and I'm happy with him! I'll try to put the other two little gimp imps on something sometime!  It's almost done, except for gluing the little guy on there and letting the tail dry and painting it. I realized camels should have tails, so I added one this morning. Thanks to Ang for the suggestion of the color pink!

Progress

I think the sculpting is done on this guy. Now to wait until the came dries and paint it! And no, I have no idea what color!

Wax On!

This is what happens when the fabric is coated with wax, then "sculpted." I LOVE it! The wax does great things to the scupley, too! Can't wait to do another one! I'm thinking of having some have banners with sayings on them. Maybe in latin. The next one is cooling now. The sculpting is much better.. oh, and it's green!
