My Mermaid "in Progress"
Stephanies "Soprano"
Last week A few of us from the club got together for a creative one day "Journey" to create a beautiful Mermaid Art Doll. The class was held up in the "shop" and Stephanie Novatski taught her "techniques class" for her beautiful "Soprano"!We learned some really "cool" painting on cloth techniques..such as applying acrylics to fabric through stencils, and doing "rubbings" onto the fabric using Shiva painsticksand (even crayons !!), texture plates..stamps..stencils. Is amazing how you can create a whole new fabric with these easy techniques! We also learned a "very cool" technique using a glue gun and dropping the hot glue in water and when cool...rubbing gold flakes onto the design..Wow...beautiful!
It was such a great day of inspiration and creative bonding! See the pictures of class and of my doll still in progress.
My mermaid will be holding a pair of pink ballerina shoes..and she will be "WONDERING" of the day when she will be able to "Dance"!
Her Tail is also "in progress"....i free motioned and "heated the edges to distort..then i rubbed some of the gold flecks onto the warm edges...now it needs some kind of "fluff"...added...right now its very boring! I need more "TEXTURE"!!!!

LOVE her....she's beautiful....reminds me of your fairy.....now did you sculpt the head from the cernit-super sculpey mix....and will you sculpt hands?
love the tail, the detail looks amazing
wish I could have been there to take the class
I've been so busy trying to get things ready for the holidays and keep up with my sculpting
Your mermaid looks spectacular! Love what you did with her tail. I don't see where you need fuzzy but how about doing some type of braid? Love her colors and her head came out great.
So's where's the finished beauty?
We had 18 inches of snow in Portland over Christmas......that's why I spent a whole week experimenting with eyes.
Couldn't get out of the house.
