Finally have a nursery website up and running for the babies....

Little Moon Nursery. That's the name of the new nursery and website to showcase the ooak babies I've been so steadily working on recently. I'll be adding a link to the right soon, but here's the website for anyone interested.

Arctic Mermaid...

Finally a new mermaid! She's about 7" long (if stretched out). Painted with an oil/chalk/bond mixture and glazed with lacquer and glitter. Tibetian wool in baby blonde for her hair. She's the Arctic Mermaid and here's the link to her auction and a slideshow. Enjoy.

Seraphine is finished!!!

Here are a few photos of Seraphine all finished up. She's about 10" tall on her base and just breathe-taking. Her hair is handset red, brown, white, and blonde viscose fibers twisted into dreads with fabric stiffener. She has tiny pearls throughout her hair. She's playing with floatastic kelp! Her tail is painted a shimmering golden orange and her side fins are posable.

Mermaid In Progress...updates...

Here are a few updated photos of Seraphine and her finished base.

Mermaid In Progress...pics and a name

The name I've given this fiery goldfish mermaid is Seraphine, meaning buring fire. She's coming along nicely. She'll need arms, hands, and a neck sculpted and painted then she'll be ready for hair and accessories. Here are are few pics of her progress.

Mermaid's Progress...

Yesterday I added bulk and sculpted the torso and most of the tail. Today I added a little more bulk to her tail to even her up and sculpted her head. I used lovely reflective pink pearl beads for her eyes, gives an eerie but breathless appearance. I also added a bit of genesis paints to the face to give her a more realistic skin tone. Then blushed her cheeks and lips to add some color. Finally used some orange, skin tones, and browns to add depth and a stormy goldfish effect for their eyes.

I'll be adding progress photos in a little bit. I'll also be finishing the tail, fins, and ears this evening.

Mermaid In Progress...

I've just started on a new mermaid. My vision is to have a beautiful sunkissed mermaid kneeling in the sand taking in the sunrise! Her body in a subtle, but sexy upright pose with one hand (at least, maybe both) tangled in her lovely hair. Again this is my vision...but these things often change as my work comes together. Since she is to be a sunkissed mermaid her tail and fins will probably be very warm colors. We'll see.

I begun bulking up her armature last night and will likely take a few photos of that this evening before I start working on her again. I'll try my very hardest to take lots of progress picks and post them.
