Polymer Play






I woke up the other morning, with idea of a tiny cork bodied marionette rattling around in my brain. One never knows what thoughts will be tumbling out of my head, willy nilly, each morning! So, I sketched it out, before I could forget, and pulled out the clay to see if my fingers remembered how to sculpt.

It's been about 10 or so years, and I am VERY rusty!! I was in a hurry, so just played around with it for a half hour, to see what would evolve. The resulting head is too big to go on a cork body, but he will have a personality, hair, and a body, soon enough!!
This was just a warm up to the Dog in the Hole challenge, that I have yet to begin. I have pieces on my desk, and scribbles and sketches of ideas on paper and in my head.
Getting the sculpy out of the box, was a step in the right direction. Maybe before the month ends, I will have the Full Moon Art Doll project for Dog in the Hole near completion.

This little guy was just a warm up, now if I can find the box that my tools are packed in, maybe I'll get started!!!!
