If your fairy looks like an elf in drag, do you still send it to the art show? Well, the Challenge piece is due this month and I don't have time for plan B, so YES I guess you do send it. Candy has polymer clay limbs with stuffed cloth body and stands 11" tall. She was supposed to be fun and sweet and playful. Instead, she's sort of scary, but good for a laugh. Think I'll stick to cloth dolls from now on. Ya, what else is there to say? Guess there's still the possibility that I might not send her. Sorry ITK people and anyone who might have to witness her in person-I tried to make something nice!
To give her credit, she doesn't look so bad from the back view. Oh well, I guess that doesn't count. Anyhow, I have just a few more details to add. She still needs a skirt to cover that puffy crinoline. Have to do something to the shirt too, don't know what at this point. It's very black and boring the way it is though. I have a ribbon to tie around her waist and the wings have to be attached to her back too, because yes, she's a he's a fairy!
I've resigned myself to this being a cross dressing fairy, but I did try to make her look more feminine. I don't know just why she looks so masculine, maybe the chin? Boobs didn't help....
She definitely needs to go to the Challenge! Just add her wings and let her fly.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of adding a small mask to give her a mysterious (albeit halloween) look? Maybe out of the same material as her wings? Just a thought, but then I haven't had my coffee yet.
cheers
