Picking up my clay once again. I have been looking forward to creating this set for some time.
It has been so long since I have sculpted with polymer clay I was not sure if I could achieve the results I saw in my minds eye. I have to say I am pleased with the results..
She stands 5 inches tall, her nightgown is muslin, hand sewn. I used heat set paints for her details and hand set wool for her hair.
Her bed is balsa wood, designed, cut and assembled by me..
Hand painted in moss green white and a touch of gold. Embellished with plaster cloth and a silver crown atop. Her puffy quilts were hand sewn and filled with poly fill. I love the tiny calico prints.. I also made her tiny ladder.
I hope you enjoyed viewing her.. She is available on ebay.
Thank you so much for taking time to visit.
Wishing you all a beautiful weekend.. I will be huddled up, as we have a big storm coming our way. Weather report is 4 inches in two days. For California, we have had quite a bit of rain lately. This is a good thing. I will say my roses are trying to recover.. Oh happy day!
Bed is 7 1/2" tall and 7" in length
Princess is 5" tall
I was so focused on her when sculpting that I forgot to take WIP photos, but did take a few of the bed in progress.
Thank you dear Ilona for the reminder. I can't believe I forgot the PEA! LOL
There it is!
This children's story is a favorite, Penny. What a cute little princess you created, and those beds, how cute. Love the tiny quilts with the calico prints. And that ladder heeheehee.
ReplyDeleteYes, lots of rain coming our way. I hope your roses are doing ok. I miss my garden, but I still see the roses at the rose garden near my house.
love, ~Sheri
One of my also, Sheri. I really enjoy working with balsa wood.. Soft enough to cut with and knife.
ReplyDeleteOh the rain is pounding now! The roses are finally coming back.
OH MY..........you did it again.
ReplyDeleteFor a while, I've had this story in my mind too, and wondering how I'd take a photo. I have a little bed, but need to make some mattresses and I know I can find a princess....
PENNY!!!!!!!!!! You are an architect of the small world! YOU KNOW how I feel about that CROWN! WOWOWOWOOOWOWOWOOW and the little princess, she reminds me of a certain, special child who has the most beautiful eyes and lips I've ever seen...
BRAVO. Gosh, you put so much detail into the small....your eyes are much better than mine to see the eye in the needle in order to sew this! LOVE this, and the fact that you are recreating some of the most beloved stories. Oh my friend, how I adore you.
Yes, little Lily was my inspiration for the Princess.. That may be the reason it went so smooth while sculpting.
DeleteMERCI, dear friend!
Oh-your art is lovely-you are fantastic with sculpting faces! I also really love your paintings and pencil work-you are so good with figures and flowers! Love it all....
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Debra!
DeletePenny, it's wonderful. I have to say, I don't know how you got her exquisite face so perfect. That's a tough medium. And the bed with all its quilts makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteDo try to stay dry. I hope your roses survive. I know water is good for them, I know there has been a drought in your state but I think you guys are ready for a break!
Jeanie, I had to use my magnifier when sculpting the face. My old eyes do not see as well as I would like, even with my glasses.
DeleteYes, much needed rain indeed..
Owwwwwww so so so sweeeeeet ....love ris x ❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Ria!
DeleteI love the way you created this fairy tale into a miniature scene, Penny, your little princess looks so adorable :D! But whilst I looked at her and her lovely bed I just wondered.......where is the tiny pea lol ;)!?
ReplyDeleteI hope you're okay because of the storm? Take care, dear friend.
Warm hug, Ilona
THE PEA! Oh my word.. How could I forget the pea? teeehee. I will go make it now. Thank you!!!
DeleteOh my goodness -- this is so unique...Penny you are very talented & clever!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying 2017 :)
