We were giving Keara a couple of Troll charms (similar to the Pandora charms) for her birthday and I decided to create a little "troll" as the gift giver. I didn't want to make a typical troll (i.e. kind of ugly) and decided to go with something a little lighter.
As often happens with my pieces, this little guy had his own mind, and in the Troll world, (as we know it) he is a complete misfit.
Sculpted head
"Makeup" added (I use matte, unmetallic blushes and shadows)
Starting to flesh out the armature. Not sure about the standing pose
Finished. I liked him better sitting and decided against the basket. I made a small soft leather bag for the charms and included the sunflower as this is Keara's favorite flower. She loves him and agrees with me that he really doesn't look too troll-like.
Just finished some Kindred armatures and also some bust armatures. Not sure what I'm going to do next. I actually feel like making a very simple jointed doll, so I may just play around with that this weekend.
Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Sue,
Thanks for the lovely message. Wow, your blog is super cool. I'll link it and will be back for more goodness. I love Port Hope. We used to make trips there just to buy Day of the Dead folk art at Casa Rosa, which was then relocated and eventually turned into a woman's clothing store. We always stop through when we're heading east.
Thanks again!
