~Welcome~
I am soo looking forward to this long weekend, although I have a lot planned for it, still need to get up-to-date with all my Yishu Stuff, I have fallen behind a little:( Although the good new is that I am starting two new pieces over the holiday and they are a Harlequin Clown and a Masquerade Ball piece, to watch them being created please follow my WINP by clicking here and adding me to your favs What is everyone else up to this Easter weekend?
Latest Piece
Elena The Enchanted Princess, is my latest piece, she awaits on her balcony awaiting her true love, I had immense fun creating this one, through this sculpt I found that my passion is for cartoon pieces.
Elena is a 9” full bodied sculpt, she is sculpted from Puppen Fimo over a strong wire armature and baked at the manufactures’ instructions. NO moulds where used for her.
Her eyes have been created by me and coated to give them a glass like look, individually applied eyelashes, Her features have been coloured using a blend of chalk pastels, acrylic, genesis heat paints and spray paint which have all been varnished to protect,I have used viscose hair which has been sprayed and styled.
Her main outfit is made of silk and organza. Throughout her costume I have used wire, beads, elastic, gold/silver thread, gems, beads, cotton, lace, glitter. Her base is made from twisted wire and clay which has been painted and varnished.
Yishu’s on Sale
I have currently up listed 4 of my dolls for sale through different places to view or bid on them, please see the previous blog.
Found my Way
Last weekend after creating Elena it clicked that my style is cartoon, Although I can do animals and portraits and I have done a few I am more comfortable with cartoon and as it has recently been said its better to create something you like then, create something for the sake of it. So most of my creations will now be 9" full bodied cartoon dolls, I will also be making 16" soft bodied dolls.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope that you have a splendid weekend.
