Elf in Waiting

Greetings my dear friends,

Following a brief break from ebay, I just listed a new sculpt yesterday. She is the largest and most intricate sculpture I have attempted yet, and I thoroughly relished working on her as time permitted.

Because of her 12 inch size she is a heavy weighted doll, so I put a brass rod in each leg for extra support.

The clay is almost porcelain white, so I plan to totally paint her in Genesis paints for a warmer skin tone. I wanted to share pictures of her before painting and costuming so you could see what a lovely canvas she will be for coloring and dressing.

Her character has a strong heart...of knowing hope fulfilled.

Also, my sculpting table has been graced with a wee French Gnome Faerie. A rare commission I accepted during my reprieve.

So tiny and delicate, and riding a shell with a fish for an escort. She has a definite destination to her journey and is determined to reach it.

My sculpting time has been sporadic...during nap times and late at night. But oh so pleasurable. Can you tell?

Thank you so much for dropping by on your own journey...
