I Finally Breached The Mess

I held my breath, cranked up my courage and opened the door to my little studio last night. April and May have been particularly busy with a lot of birthdays and anniversarys, and thus a lot of pieces being created as gifts. I have not posted pics as I know some of the recipients follow this blog (you know who you are *grin*).

Anyway, when I work, I must start with everything organized and then within 10 minutes, chaos has returned to my 8 x 10 room. I don't generally put things away as I work (bad habit). Did a fast tidy-up last night and started 3 Kindreds. At this point, I know I want to do a darker, gothy one.



I also started and almost finished the sculpting for my ADO Challenge piece. For the last challenge, I didn't get finished until the last day....I would really like to be earlier this time. The challenge is to do a piece (or 4) based on the elements, Earth, Wind, Water and Fire. I'm a Taurus, so of course, I am going to do Earth.

I had to use my old camera for these pics while my new one was charging - sorry for the graininess.

I'm hoping to go to an estate auction tomorrow, so probably won't get much done on any of these pieces, but will try to post pics
as I continue on them.

Hope everyone had a creative day!

China Bound

This is the custom order I had for a Kindred and she is on her way to China. I was sent a picture of a beautiful gal in a prom dress and while this is not an exact copy of the dress, I tried to replicate the general idea. Now I have to finish more for my shop!

The Kindreds

♥Kindreds are gentle little beings (most of the time). They aren't very verbal, but they do have a way of conveying an affinity for others♥

I have had so much fun working on these little figures and have so many ideas swimming around at the moment for more of them. I listed three of them last night in my Etsy shop and hope to have a couple more by the end of the week. The two shown below sold this past weekend and are on
their way to China. I have an order for another one for China too.

These pieces are much simpler than my usual sculpts and it really was like playing working on them.
