I am not sure who the artist is but she has inspired me to make a large nature doll as part of my recovery process. She will hang on my front or side porch and help to ward off the evil spirits that sometimes blow in the wind. It has been a rough year...and I will be glad to see it go and 2019 meander in bringing protection, hope, and an awakened self.
Today I am going to begin the face sculpture using polymer clay and I Have a basket where I am gathering elements that may or may not be used as I begin the construction the beginning of January. I have no idea where I am going, what it will look like only that it "will be".
I have a small notebook where I can sketch, write in information, things I want to look for, photos, what I have learned from and during the process, and colors I want to use. etc.
I will continue adding information and pictures on this post as I add things....and begin my process.
Supply Basket elements:
Wire
Wire cutters
Glue gun and Glue Sticks
Foundation (Tree Limb)
Swarowski Crystals
Buttons
Oregon Moss
Twigs
Twig Beads (Etsy)
FACE
I feel that the face is what should be created first and helps you to know how the rest of the doll should be brought to life. I am going to sculpt mine myself but there are face molds you can purchase .... human, moon, etc. I use Etsy as much as I can when I purchase items as I want to support the other creative souls who strive to supplement their income vs big business. If you want to make this doll truly yours and a reflection of feelings or a specific look you want to achieve...I strongly suggest sculpting the face yourself.
FACE: Sculpty Polymer Clay
Sculpt or use a facial mold
I use white clay .... and then color, shade, highlight, etc.
