 WIP Angel relief

She  has been a very slow but fulfilling process...  I have much rework to do and am only 1/4 of the way down..  As is with my past reliefs,  no molds or stencils are ever used.. Original design from my mind's eye... I usually do a sketch so I have a reference...  the background was created with mixed media, the relief work accomplished with paper clay, a few tools and my favorite tool, my fingers.

I love the feel of this clay...  I will add more WIP photos to this post as I go along. 

 

 

Wishing all that celebrate Thanksgiving a joyful one.

I am blessed for so many things, most importantly my children, family and you my friends.

Thank you all for making this year a special one.

blessings,

Penny

Oliver and an Angel in waiting

Hello dear friends...

Jasper is fully recovered from his surgery,  I from the flu... (well almost)...   Thank you all so much for your well wishes and most appreciated visits...

In October, while Jasper was recuperating and before I came down with the flu, this is what I created.

He will be traveling to his new home this week.

 

 A dear collector asked me if I would consider Needle felted the likeness of her dear cat

"Oliver"..  I will admit I was a bit nervous... Cats, for me anyway, are a real challenge..   I had several bumps along the road, but pleased with the end result.   More importantly she was thrilled.. So this is a good thing yes?

I have also started on my wall relief for the Christmas season..  I am taking WIP photos, and hope to share them on my next post.  Where or where has the time gone...  I really cannot believe Thanksgiving is so close and then we will be ringing the bells for the Christmas Angels...
