Have you seen the little Gnome on my gallery page? He was probably the 3rd character I started, but I kept putting him aside to work on new ideas. He still didn't have any arms or feet - until now! :-)
Now he is ready for cotton batting to be added to build up his body. Then, just a layer of fabric glued and sewn over it as "skin" and he'll be ready to paint, dress and add hair!
I love the way his little hands came out!
The Tree Spirit has gotten its feet as well. Here they are, just coming out of the oven!
You may think the Tree Spirit has an exceptionally long neck. Well, it started when I was building the armature, before I had any idea what it would be. I was working with the wire and, by accident, got this long shape. At first, I didn't think it was very realistic, but I really liked the elegance of the long line. So, I decided to give it a go and see what kind of character would come from this. I'm glad I did!
I will be updating the Gallery soon with these and more new pictures!
Oh my gosh..he is adorable!!!
