The Witch!







It is always fun to sculpt something out of the normal. I had an initial idea about the witch and I think I was able to make what was in my mind. In our story , the queen disguise her self to a witch appearance to hide her *beauty* . I didn't want to make a very ugly witch but my children reaction was a funny one. I am not sure if I succeed .... they all said ...ohhhh, that is ugly!*grin*


I still need to give her some eyebrows and some other details but because I am sculpting my first dwarf at this moment , I will wait until later on.

I will try to work on the hands next week. I plan to do something different this time. Although it will not be a tutorial, (nothing makes any sense from beginning to the end,grin) but I will show you how I do the hands, create a mold and cast with a medium that I don't believe anyone thought to use it. It will be fun and I hope you will follow me on my Magical world.*grin*

Ohh Julie, thank you so much. All the comments has really been a blessing to me... I am very critic of my self and I can see faults every where...sometimes is a good thing and other time is not good. Thank you for taking your precious time and visiting me!

Just popped back again to look at your witches wonderful face.
I think we are all too critical of our work, its part of being an artist I suppose and it is good as without that we wouldnt grow !
She really is amazing though and I know I will visit many times just to see these wonderful marionettes :0)

Oh Julie, You are so gracious and such a good friend! Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate! I have never made a wicth ...so many form of ideas passed through my mind , some really scary,grin , but at the end, I wanted her to look as she was real. The world of theatre is a magical one and makes me feel I am 12 years old again. I *LOVE* to make these dolls and to do the plays. I do beleive I am making *memories* with my children who are so in love with the whole process... for so long I want to share my art closily with them, but honestly, wasn't until I start making marionettes that I found my gift for them.
I have finished one of the dwarfs, perhpas next week I will have a chance to post him, thank you so much for visiting me.I mean it!Tenderly~
