The project is a still in its beginning stages, but here is a sneak peak at what it looks like right now!
Here is the moon, carved from styrofoam, textured in paper maché, and with a coat of white paint. I may add some more color to it, but I haven't decided exactly what I want to do yet.
I put on one very rough layer of paper maché to give the moon texture, then a second much smoother layer to regularize the texture and make sure it didn't look like an accident! |
And here is my character in her beginning stages. She is made of crochet thread around a wire armature to make her fully posable. I don't usually make dolls this small and this is the first time I have started one with a wire skeleton, so I am excited to see how she turns out!
So far I love the structure that the armature gives the doll. I think makes her feel a little more real. I also like how the armature acts as a 3-dimensional "sketch" of the doll's shape that I can trace as I crochet her outer skin. Creating a detailed face at this small scale may be a challenge. I have some ideas, though, which you will see soon! Keep following your dreams, I'll see you Wednesday!
Assunta,
ReplyDeleteYour sculpture is coming right along, isn't it? I can't wait to see what develops. Your crocheted doll is very nicely done, and looks a bit complicated. I think she's beautiful so far!

This is really interesting concept, Assunta, and I find it especially fascinating to get to see your sculpture as a work in progress. I can't wait to see the finished piece!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I can't wait to see more on this project. Your doll already looks so cute! xo Jennifer
