WIP pic of the snowman, "My Prince?" kindred and a papiermache snowman ornie (in the background below).
Both the kindred and the snowman
are polymer clay over a foil armature. The upsided down snowman ornament behind them is commercial papier mache from Spain over a burnt out lightbulb.
I did these after the snowman and was running out of glitter - next time I will glitter-them-up more!
Snowman, stands approximately 8" tall. Painted, "antiqued" and glittered......
The kindred piece, "My Prince?" was done for a person that collects frogs. Polymer, paint, mohair and antique netting. The little blurb that went with her read, "Helena loved to catch frogs.......always wondering..."
Some more WIPs (kindreds and busts). I am also making a couple of
I definitely want to start some Christmas themed items by late summer next year. I may even create a couple of Father Christmas figures again. I haven't done any in several years - to be honest, I became totally burnt out making them as I made many, many, many for several years in a row. I think I may be slightly ADD as I do get bored if I do too many of the same type of thing for too long.

The snowman is just so charming!!! I love the combination of the antiqueing and glitter, Cottage charming he is and the kindred is adorable. I know just how you feel about working on something so much and then the need to move on, but like you, I really want to work on christmas this year. I have enjoyed it so much and it really helped me to get in the spirit of the season.
These are so fantastic and it is wonderful to see your new work.

I reeeeally really need to own a Kindred, they are so special, just like their creator! Can't wait to see the rest of them finished. Have a great weekend! :)

OMG! I love love LOVE all of these Sue! the kindred is so pretty! and the snowman just adorable! He is real cute!!! And the ornies are great!
I had to post again as I wanted to comment on your ADD comment. :-) i too get the same way!! It is comforting to know that this is normal -- I always thought I was so "all over the place" because I seem to jump to many different things otherwise I get way bored.
I absolutely love all of your work, but the snowman and the ornaments are so wonderful! I certainly hope that you do up some "Father Christmas" figures...they would be exquisite!
Merry Christmas!!
These little guys are wonderful! They warm my soul. I have such a soft spot for snowmen. Very sweet indeed!!!
