He is so cute! I am so happy with how my first boy sculpture turned out! Please visit the shoppe and check him out!

New witch sculpture

 

Soon to be up in the shop, unless I can't live without her. ;) And that is very likely since she, in my opinion, is the best one I've done yet. EDIT: she's SOLD but keep checking back at the shop for more to come! :)

Alice sitting upon a mushroom

whoever will she be?

 

Snippets are so fun to share! Here is my latest papier mache girl still in "skeleton" form. What a lovely mushroom she is sitting upon! I'll be posting her in her finished state in time. But for now, I must enjoy this pretty weather. Yesterday was yet another snowy day, those seem to be happening every week as of late.

Reveal!

 Ta da! One of these little pretties is still up in the Little Lola's shoppe right now so take a peek.

P.S. what do you think of the outdoor photos? I was trying something new. Are they as as good, or not as good, as the white backgrounds of the other girls? I already listed these photos so it's a tad too late to ask opinions but, for next time, I thought I'd see what you all thought. have a great day!

 A long hot bath and a good book can cure anything. Nap time & a movie for the non napper are very helpful too. I thought I'd share a snippet of what is to come. Two pretty girls that need a final coat of sealer and a final photo shoot before they can have a full Little Lola's shoppe debut. I just hope the sun shows its bright warm face tomorrow, at least for a half an hour, so I can get good lighting for the photos. It has been snowing, hailing, raining, and "snowraining" he he, all day today! Silly spring!

My Pet Bluebird

Here is my latest sculpture made with papier-mache and paperclay.

New and improved papier-mache art

 

Hello everyone, I am here to introduce my newest friend. She doesn't have a name yet though. She is the first papier mache sculpture I have done with my newly acquired Paper Clay!

Lately I had become interested in making dolls out of Sculpey. I loved looking at the beautiful art doll creations of Black Eyed Suzie, Du buh du designs, Noodle and Lou studio, and Marmee Craft no patience...OK both. I couldn't get the polymer clay to do what I wanted and I couldn't get the details small enough. I got very frustrated and gave up; but not totally. Since I love working with papier mache I thought working with paper clay would be a good experiment. Plus it goes well with papier mache since it is, after all, paper. Paper clay is so much better for me than sculpey! It air dries, which I love (no burning) and after it's dry you can still add clay. Water can also be added to change the consistency of it. The experiment worked out really well and this pretty little girl is the result.I LOVE how she turned out. In fact I love her so much I'm afraid I cannot sell her. If I can get this great of results with the next girl then I may sell this one but you'll have. They inspired me to try my hand at sculpey, but sadly I have no skills at doll making, or I have to bribe me. I have three more girls in the works, with paper clay/papier mache, so be on the look out for more pretties! Let's hope they all turn out as cute and sweet as this girl did. Her dress and hair are papier mache; and her face, arms, and legs are paper clay.

Have a great Thursday!
