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!
