Hello:) Gosh it's been about a month since I have sculpted anything! I have been busy in the "real world" as I like to say! lol. With that said, once I started this peice I could not stop!! 
I have been testing out new methods for fins and wings. Serafina's fins are my favorite!!! so this technique will continue. It's harder then one might think to make "pretty" wings or fins. Most of mine turn up fake looking and plastic. I love a bit of realism in my sculptures and these fit that for me!
5 years ago I started sculpting. I studied tutorials, became addicted to searching for new artist of OOAK's, got every supply that "they" told me to get, and figured out how to do things through trial and error. Not untill now have I realized that being a One Of A Kind artist means you create your own look. You dont have to use Lamb hair for their hair. You dont have to use Fantasy flim for beautiful wings. You dont have to buy glass eyes. You dont have to use one brand of polymer clay. Their is no law thats says you have to use these things to make a good or professtional OOAK sculpture. In fact that is the thing that I admire is my favortie Artist! They think outside the box. They come up with something no one would think of to use and all of the sudden that is the "new" way it should be done! Dont get me wrong , without these turorials and supply list I would not be where I am today with this. I suppose you have to learn the rules before you break them;) Normally my best ideas come from times when I need something I dont have and figure it out with the stuff I already do have.
I am not sure why I felt the need to blurt all of this out but, I did ....hahah and with that said I leave you with this quote my friend dubbed as "me" lol oh  yes and a link to the reason I blogged this in the first place. My newest sculpture Serafina!! enjoy!!

 Alright.... Since my last blog I have made three sculptures!! One piece actually was 4 sculptures all together!! So I guess that makes 6. Needless to say I have been working very hard!  Since it is a New Year I have decided to revamp my website....yet again!! I am one of those people who gets bored very quickly with most things. Like one day my husband will come home and I would have rearranged the living room. This happens frequently! Even yestarday I rearranged my studio...maybe in hopes for the new inspiration!LOL. Since it has not even been a year since I started selling my work and have had this website I figure now is the time to change it and fiqure out what I like so down the road I don't have the same dilema!  So you get it.:) I hope you like my new site.  I feel like it's a bit easier to navigate. Especially through the Gallery area. I also feel like its a bit more me(trendy, sorta retro).  I have even made a banner that you can add to your own website if you like and follow my work!! That banner is in the contact page. 
Instead of doing three separte blog post I am going to post all of my recent work to this one alone.  I will put a few of each so you can see them better since I will not be adding them to my 2010 Gallery. My first sculpture of 2011 is in the brand new mermaid gallery!!! Have fun!! I hope you like all of my hard work!!!

Luna , Raggamuffin, and The Three Blind mice were commission peices.
Transformation will be on Auction in the next coming weeks! If interested in her use the contact forum!!!

     Always,
