The Start Of September and I’m still wrapping up sculpting for the ODDMALL on November 1st and 2nd…
I’m calling the OOAK Red Dragon Egg Completed. The only thing I’m still going to test is how long the toy will run before I have to stick a new battery in it. I’ll do that this weekend perhaps.
I didn’t get the green eggs finished like I wanted to .. a visit from my Niece one week and a visit from my brother a couple weeks later took some of my time away on projects. We’ll see if we can wrap those up by the middle of the month.
The Beta Bonsai Tree Ent build is just about done. I’m going to do a little dry brush to the tea leaves that I used as mulch in the Bonsai Tree Ent Pot.
The beta Bonsai Tree Ent also has some “air plants” living in the branches. I didn’t design it for this but the air plants ended up nesting in branches well. The next build will be made with branches intended to hold them.
I’m doing a Second Bonsai Tree Ent build with 2 part Apoxie sculpt. This material hardens in about 2 hours and can be drilled and sanded.. Since you only have about 2 hours of good work time I’m been working in small batches on it. This material is a lot more “solid” than Polymer clays like Femo or Sculpy.
The “harder” product is a plus and additionally Apoxie sculpt can be put in an oven so I can mix my media that I’m working with. Since I can do this think I may end up still using Polymer clay to sculpt the face into the tree.
The 3rd OOAK Wood Sprite is on his way to completion. I have all his material in place and he’s ready to be sculpted. The concept for this one was to have him sitting by a house plant taking care of it.
So I’ll have the sitting on a shelf and a taking care of a plant ones for sale ..and I’ll have my busyness card one just for display.
I finished off my little beta shelf elf that I posted about a week or so back……and then Violet decided it didn’t need to be around any longer.
I did some shoes and shirt and pants on the little fella just before I went to bed..and woke up the next morning after my wife left to go to work and found the poor elf with his head chewed off.
So on to making 6 more I went. You can see them ruffed out below and you can also see that I baked 3 and I’m starting to put clothing on them.. I’ll see what I can get done with these folks before mid month.
Next up I glued the magnets into my “clinging” fairy dragon and did a clinging test… and the darn thing works well. I’ll be wearing it at the table.
Speaking… or um writing about the table… hear is my first test fitting of the table cloth. I put a couple of the displays on it.. I’ll take the table out of the tiny 3 season room later this month so I can take a photo of it from father away… but it will work out great. I put some PVC pipe pieces on the table legs to lift the table up to about 42 inches. This will make it much easier for people to look at my items without having to lean way over or wanting to pick them up.
So next update:
Green Eggs completed
3 shelf elfs done maybe 6
Elf in a cage with wings almost done.
Fairy dragons almost done.
Bonsai Tree Ent 2 done
Bonsai Tree Ent 1 dry brushed and done.
Finish Wood Sprite number 3
And back to the bobble heads..
This is what I normally have going on next to me while I’m doing some sculpting on the couch.. yes yes ..i should be at my work table.. but this makes the dogs happy…
