Serafina-Mermaid 05/04/2011
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!! " Imperfection is Beauty, Madness is Genius, and it's better to be Absolutely Ridiculous than Absolutely Boring!"
