Sunday live class

Today I am waiting to go live online to take a class by Adele of the www.facebook.com/artisttoartist . It is a marketing and selling your art page and I am so glad she is doing this. It is a mystery to me how to get my art seen, while living in a remote Alaskan Fishing Village. So I am all ready for the class.

Adele also gave me some pointers on the power point I need to learn to present to the En Plein Aire painting group during the summer solstice. She is a generous person.

Oh dear...two minutes. Need to get over to the site. I will be back and tell you how the class went!!

Tonight

More photos

You can see that her fingers are too thick. I think I need to take her hand off and redo it before I bake her. Taking it off and working on it separately is easier than working on it still attached to the body. And I think I will give her much smaller ears and perhaps make them a little pointy. Legs and arm muscles need working on. Trying to go slow and really focus on getting it right.

New Fairy with Green Wings

I am halfway through sculpting a new little "green wing" fairy. I hope she will tell me her name soon.. Green Wing just seems so plain.

Working on her hands. I am pretty sure they need to be smaller. And her ears too. But this is all I am doing tonight. I had company all day and did not get to do any sculpting at all. But she did have her first bake and tomorrow I will finish her hands, bake and start on her feet. I would like them to be bare, so that I can practice on sculpting toes.

A big wind

A big wind is blowing outside....bringing in Spring(no doubt). The gusts will probably keep the fairies and I up all night. They have been flitting around all day with nervous energy! We were visited by Cory today, my 5 year old grandson. He loves to play and we had a great time outside. The fairies hide when he comes, but they love watching his antics. He thinks up more things than even the fairies!!

Today he was trying to trick the crows. He doesn't know they are called the "tricksters" and they played hide and seek with the food he tossed out all day. He would hide the food and they would find it. What fun to watch.

I will be back to sculpting tomorrow. I have several ..15 mermaid faces...and 8 hermit faces...tomorrow I will work on bodies... Of course the fairies will help me...they are the best helpers...unless they are in to mischief...then..not so much!

Second Fairy finished

My little Brown Moth Fairy is done and listed on my Etsy shop. Here are some photos.

I think she turned out cute. Now I am working on the third in the series. And focusing on her toes and fingers. They are the hardest for me.

Today I worked on hermit faces and planted a few seeds for the spring vegetable garden. Lettuce, cabbage, sweet million tomatoes, and broccoli ..

Wings and hair

Worked on her hair and her wings today.

Lots more to do...but it will need to wait until tomorrow.

I think when I paint her face I will give her "freckles"! Fun!

Good Monday morning!

Good morning. Today I will post photos of yesterdays sculptures that were baked. I was a little under the weather last night and having a slow start this morning. But I have goals to reach today.

More later!
