Traveling Circus

Photobucket



This Piece is 18 inches long and about 6 inches wide.  The clown is a one of a kind hand sculpted art doll. The face, hands and shoes are polymer sculptures over a solid core and wire armature.  The solid core ensures that the sculpted parts are durable and cured properly.  The polymer pieces are hand painted and sealed to be water resistant.  The clown's shoe laces are hand-applied and he has glass amber colored eyes. 
 
The dancing poodle is also hand-sculpted polymer over a solid core. Its fur is made of shaved felt that is hand applied.  She is wearing a sheer red tutu and a red felt hat. 
 
The circus cart is made from an ostrich egg.  It is hand-carved and detailed.  The egg is hand-painted in a teal and black diamond pattern.  It is adorned with a miniature bucket of tools, a shiny red lantern, a mini shuvel and rake, and vintage style latches.  The painted egg-cart is topped with a red and white striped tent to complete the theme of vintage circus.
This Piece is available through the American Holiday Artist Marketplace:

New Vintage Circus Art ...still in progress

I am almost finished with my latest piece: a Vintage Circus / Easter piece.  This piece includes the largest painted egg I've ever made: an ostrich egg!  It is a clown pulling a circus cart that I made out of the giant egg.  I am so excited to show this work, even though I haven't finished it.  Here is a sneak peak of the clown in his underware.  He has hand-sculpted and painted polymer hands, feet and face, and a solft sculpted cloth body.  He has a solid core and an inner wire armature to be sure that he is strongly built and cured appropriately per the ProSculpt manufacturer instructions. I'll post pictures of him in his costume with my final presentation... hopefully within a day or two!...

Meet the Sugar Plum Fairy!


The Sugar Plum Fairy


Yet another One of A Kind Art Doll. The Sugar Plum Fairy's hands, feet and face are hand sculpted from polymer clay and painted in acrylics. She is sealed to be water resistant. Her body is a sculpted and wired elderly figure with custom fitted long underwaer. All of the fairy's clothes are hand made and fitted to suit her figure. This unique character has a cupcake head, which is a mixed composition of paperclay and is complete with a sculpted plum gum drop on top! The fairy's wings and wand are also hand crafted.


The Sugar Plum Fairy has foot mounts to stabilize her on the wooden base. The base is painted wood that reades "Sugar Plum Fairy". All painted pieces are sealed to be water resistant.


This piece is about 15 1/2 inches tall and about 15 inces wide from the tip of her wand to her back foot.







As Always, this piece was created in my smoke-free, pet-free studio. Thanks for peeking!

TWISTED Cat in the Hat!!!

Edgar Allan Poe's Twisted "Cat in the Hat"

One of a Kind Handmade Art Doll

This Mischievous, Edgar Allan Poe character is a One of a Kind Granny Wolf Original Art Doll. His hands, shoes and face are hand sculpted from polymer clay and detailed with acrylic paint. The tuxedo cats are also hand sculpted and detailed with faux fur and acrylic paint. This piece is sealed to be water resistant. Edgar Allan Poe's body is a soft, fabric sculpture over a wire armature. All of his clothes are handmade and fitted to suit his stature. Edgar is wearing a grey, gothic vest with a white shirt collar and silky black bowtie. He has foggy black dress pants, and a midnight black jacket. He has dark black hair made from Tibetan Lamb Hair and cold grey glass eyes. Edgar is artfully painted to look like a black and white photo to contrast the red and white Twisted Dr. Seuss “Cat in the Hat” theme.


Edgar’s hat is removeable and is handmade from strips of worn-out red and dingey white coarse fabric sewn together at the seams. A simple black raven peers down from atop of the hat. Edgar stands on a black stained wooden base. He has foot mounts to add stability but can also be lifted for closer inspection. Edgar is carrying a scrawny disgruntled tuxedo cat in his right hand and has miniature hand-sculpted scissors in his left hand. He also has strips of fabric over his left arm as he is preparing to make another hat out of his newest "pet". Edgar has sculpted retro black and white shoes that have real laces that were hand applied to add to his realism. The laces cannot come untied. Under his foot, Edgar Allan Poe stands on an oversized spool of thread that is wrapped with black thread that loops up and drapes through his open scissors. The spool is about 1 inch tall. This piece stands about 15 1/2 inches tall.
