This is a one of a kind (OOAK) Art Doll. # 002 in the
"Faery" series of dolls that will be presented.
Flame is made from polymer clay. She was sculpted over
a strong wire armature and the armature wire extends all the way into the ends
of each finger as well. She has
hand painted green and gold eyes. Her
wings are made from copper and are very colorful and are not
removable.
She is wearing a scant covering of gold leaf which matches
her wings, eyes, and hair. She also
holds a real freshwater pearl. Her nails have all been painted gold. Her
little body was oven fired after being sculpted then it was sanded, and sanded,
and buffed with leather. This extra work gives her skin a very satiny
finish.
The photos don't do her justice. I wish I were a better
photographer but I'm working on it so please bear with
me.
I realize that her lips are big and so are her eyes. I
could not change them because she was already baked and this sculpt was one that
I started over a year ago and I had put her away for quite a while. My
skills have developed since I took a break on her but she had to be finished
(she was wispering to me to get off my lazy butt and give her some life and I
couldn't sleep!) I'm still developing my skills. I just thought that I should
finish her because she deserved it....tee-he
Well, this is the reason her name is Flame, because she
has a bit of a temper. I guess I would be mad too if someone put me in a dark
cabinet for six months. She couldn't leave the cabinet because it was too high
up and she didn't have any wings yet. And by the way, I thought that fairies
weren't supposed to be vain......well this one is. She was so mad that I didn't
give her any hair that she made some for herself. She did a pretty good job
with the materials she had in that dark cabinet. She used Apoxie Sculpt to made
each hair spike then she painted them (yup, all by
herself.)
So
when I couldn't take her constant nagging anymore, I got off my butt and made
her some copper wings that would be perfect for this fiery little fae. I also
gave her a pearl because I felt so bad about the way I treated her.
She
is doing the splits. I'm not quite sure if she is doing this because she is
such a show-off or maybe she just needs to stretch her legs because she was
couped up for so long. I asked her but she's still mad at me. Maybe you can
get her to answer you???
